Some videos of my SL65 from MIR 3/25/11. Mods are MHP v3 CDT and MT 265/40/18 DRs, also BMC drop-in Filters. Still can't get 60' down below 1.70. The Quest for Tune only 10s continues...

Very sweet! You are oh so close!!

Benz-O-Rama

Soooooooooooo close!


What was different from your last trip to MIR? Just the weather?

Ahmad let me know you were coming, but I was unable to get away from Corporate America on Friday. It would've been great to see our cars run side by side.


I see you had the ABC raised this time.

JHDavis

Thanks and I know it's killing me. Why couldn't it be .02-.05 quicker and be a 10.99 bracket car LOL!

JHDavis

Thank you Clayton, wish you would've been there too!

Changes were the weather, less fuel in tank, (3/4 vs 1/4), race fuel vs mix, ABC comfort vs sport, Car raised all the way up .

Tried holding 3rd gear till 6200 but still hit limiter before line that last shift kills us!

Funny thing is even though the DA was 1500-2000' diff than Feb 18th, car still ran the same traps. That part I don't get?? Any thoughts?

Benz-O-Rama

That 3-4 shift kills these cars, no doubt.

Were you running a race gas tune or did you just run race gas on your 93 octane tune?

JHDavis

Yeah wish we had slightly diff gearing.

93 tune with 100 in at the track. Drove the car there again 1050 miles round trip, need to get a trailer.

JHDavis

VBox Graph, actually ran on a .03% incline so MIR is NOT downhill LOL, thanks TMC!

Now that is picking them up and puttin down!! A really big effort from John Davis's SL 65 AMG & Keith's C-63 And of course Andrew from MHP for his tuning efforts should not go unrecognized. John , I believe your are seeing what may come in the future on MPH's effort to get back into the other Mercedes engine platforms. As Time passes it helps us understand each others characters . MHP may have had a rough start, But has learned to temper his emotions. I too started in alittle rough and have needed to ease up & did so.
Again Great Job you Guy's _PTEngineering

Andy is that you? I thought you were banned from MBworld?

JHDavis

MBH,

Nope my name is John and I own the car. MHP is doing all the work and racing it for me.

Let's not derail the thread as I've read many of your past posts and want nothing to do with you or your comments. In fact I would appreciate it if you stayed out of my threads altogether.

Thank You

JD

MBH motorsports

Yep, you can have your thread back, I don't post much these days anyway. Your comments stink of Andy, Along with your obsession in the C63 record thread... Again it stinks of Andy. We will let the folks at Internet Brands decide who you are. BTW nice stunt with the new Photobucket account. To bad you have the same pics in the other PB account. I live in Arizona so I'm always on the look out for snakes

PTE

your reply stinks of Hooleyboy. You could have done better & be above your usual self. Plus it would have improved your relationship with others. Best of luck with your future endeavors . _PTEngineering

JHDavis

This is exactly why I asked you not to post. You are wrong, and already attempting to derail my thread. You are a board sponsor, please act like one, and I'm sorry did you just call me a snake?

If you can't tell the pics I posted are taken from a cell phone, I forwarded them to Andy to review and he put them on his photobucket site for me. Yes I also gave permission for Andy to use pics of my car, videos, etc whatever else so get over it. I also happen to think what was done by Dads C63 at the same race my car ran at is something worth noting, I happen to like fast cars in general and the color blue... Is that ok with you officer?

Are you kidding me?

Thank you for leaving Michael and again please stay away from all future threads of mine.



John

JHDavis

Thank you Sir! Your reputation precedes you and I greatly appreciate your comments. I was able to see dodger's car in person at MIR on the 18th of Feb but I couldn't make this last race so I missed Dads. Too bad because I would have paid to see that run. (can I say that without a board sponsor jumping on my back?)

I hear blackbenzz was the hotfoot that actually got the 11.01 pass, Andy's fat *** (lol) only went 11.02.

In all seriousness Andy has nothing but good things to say about you, perhaps one day I'll have the pleasure of meeting you as well.

Take care,

JD
