Track times (inside) for post-MB recall/ K2 updated

After work tonight, I drove straight to the track. The track temp was 80degrees with a bit of humidity.

I did not use drag radials. I ran on my 19" BBS wheels with PS2's, normal tire pressure and traction control on.

The results........11.9 at 121. Given the conditions, I think my K2 car continues to make good power even though MB is "screwing " with us.

Hey Rock, is there a chance that the cahnges are more noticed at the butt dyno? For example is there any chance that they have just smoothed out the powerband? From your numbers, would you say any part of the run is different than before?

Prior to the MB recall I ran high 11s at 122-123 (stock tires) but those times were recorded when the track temps were below 60 degrees. My butt-dyno tells me that my car has not suffered due to the MB recall and I will assume my trap speed is down, due strictly to temperature.
