The crown will soon be passed...
Some SL's are FINALLY getting their swerve on. AMAZING 60' time. With a bit more trap speed, they'll get into the 10's!

Whoever does it next is doomed to join a long list of unfamous 2nds in history.
The 2nd person to fly solo across the Atlantic.....the 2nd to design a telephone, the 2nd to have working light bulb.
I guess if it's mid or lower 10's it will make some news. Now if it's 9's?

I think all he has is an airbox, ecu tune and Drag radials.....
The biggest problem with the SL65 is traction. I would love to see what a stock SL65 will do just on drag radials.
Oh! We are in luck, I now have a set in the garage......
Hopefully I can get to the track in the next couple of weeks.

man I have not seen a near 10 sec run with such a low trap...that was done with 100% traction and pure torque. Just shows how important the two are together. Awesome time!

I think the car has heating issues!!! I know I'm pointing out the obvious here!
I believe if someone traps 100mph+ @ the 1/8 mile mark, then it should be in the 10's!?!?
On the other hand, 0-100 mph in 7 seconds is INSANE!!!

If he can consistently run 1.5s without breaking anything, then you can start waving the flag for DC
1 or 2 passes doesn't say much for durability 
Oh yeah - Derek's comment on recipe for 10s My guess is that the since the TT V12 makes more tq down low, it can leave a lot harder if it has traction, even when hobbled by the stock tq converter (which will actually flash higher under the great load placed on it by the TT V12).

A flash will change shift points and make the shifts faster by upping line pressure, but that's the limit of what it can do.
