My CLK55 is bone stock down to the original air filters that were delivered with the car. More details and slips are in the CLK55 forum.

If you didn't know better, you'd never think Derek was the type of person to show up at a dragstrip with an assorment of hundred thousand dollar vehicles.

I know the car is capable of high 12's- I think dinko posted about doing 12.7 a while ago. But it's new and I've only done a few runs, mostly under bad conditions (see posts from a couple weeks ago, about antifreeze on the track
), so I haven't gotten my launch technique down. On that 13.3, I think I had my wheels spinning and ESP flashing for about the first 1/4 of the run.

The E55 was faster than the M5. With LC active, it would have been closer but in my opinion, the E will still be a bit faster in my opinion. LC is now active so I'll do it again.

But this is based on modded E55 vs. stock M5, correct? If so, what do you think the result would be if stock vs. stock?
Just want to know the facts.... especially knowing "someone" from the forum said otherwise.

Derek can you give us some details on your rear wheel and tire set up for drag racing, my car is still stock but I am planning on getting a set of wheels and tires just for drag racing.

E55 (for sale if the right offer comes along)...too many others to list
Derek,
I just wanted to tell you that you are freakin hot! Any man that can drive a car like that is HHHHOOOOOTTTTT! On top of that you have an M5 and a Noble. I am going to do a similar set up in a few months and plan to drag minus the nitrous. Come to Cali sometime! I would love to buy you a drink! :v

Derek,
I assumed you were married cause a women was in the drivers seat of the M5. No guy would let a random girl drive a car like that. It's ok, I still think you are hot for driving in the 10's. Bring the wife to Cali and I will buy both of you a drink!
