Any Benz's run at LACR. (Los Angeles County Raceway?

Keep it civil please.

Have any of you guys ran at LACR or heard of any Benz times there?

Also directed to Snorman fromt he previous thread thats locked. I ran a 11.9 @ 123 with a 1.9 60 foot and hardly any traction even in 3rd. My Nitrous wasnt working b/c it was misfilled with compressed air, not nitrous. Plenty of guys were there and touched my purge with their hands. Also my belt slipped off right after that run, i wasnt making all my boost. So please dont come up with lies about my car you dont even know about...

Im not making this a battle, just a fair comparo between a 3.2 SC M3 vs a 5.5 SC Benz.

I used to go up there once in a while to shoot the ****...track itself is pretty bad and the altitude doesn't make it any better...

My best time up there was 12.8 @ 113 I think...that was a very long time ago...

Thanks, ive never even seen a Benz there. Everytime i go, its either race civics, Srt4's or RSX's.

Thanks. Those are good times you are running also. 11.003@123 is pretty crazy, you must have had a great 60 foot.

I have a coupld vids, heres the run at LACR. Look at the sandstorm at the end of the track and how my car loses traction b/c of it (you can hear it).

Ya, it sucks even more now. They are tearing it down, theres sand mountains 50 foot right on the side of the track. And you know how windy it is there, all the sand comes on the damn track. Not to mention its 2700+ feet and its usually hot/windy.

This thread is nothing but a direct continuation of another closed thread, where you seem determined to continue a fight.

Mods, please lock this, or at the very least move to the OT.

Snorkmanwas making bogus claims about my car, and i wanted to clear it up. This thread is simply about Benz's at LACR... Thanks for trying.

.........M3 and M5 guys are pretty funny. They never quit. The fastest modified E55's are battling with breaking into the 10's. Frankly you are not in their league. You have a fast modified M3, enjoy it.

Hehe almost, at least im not all talk. I dont use other peoples cars to make a point either. Oh well so much for asking a damn question on a Benz forum.

You do make it obvious how much it must hurt for an M3 to beat a E55. You thought you were unbeatable didnt ya...

Then take it to the tinypenisdriver.org board and cry all night long about it. This is a Benz board, and nobody, and I mean nobody cares if your underhood gerbils were sleighted.

Try the "Off Topic" section for all things roundel 'round here.

Reason I ask about your car is,seems it should be faster than 11.97 @123 if your really making that power.

Another one and I can think of a few guys that'll get banned.

This isn't a war forum, we talk cars and we ENJOY them, we don't trash talk other cars no matter what they car and most of all, we repsect others.
