juicee63

Thanks man, it feels amazing and further raises the bar for me by ALOT. Now I know its possible and can no longer make excuses as to why I am not under 2.0 everytime. Nearly 3/10th came off my time!!So really the 1/4 mile is won and lost in this little span. Here are some details


Tires, new Pilot Sport Cups, replacing the BFG. BFG was a bit too soft but still produced good 60 ft. I managed a 1.92 on those. This was a special run. I was racing a guy from Irwindale on that run. Last Thursday he was beating me 1.8 to 2.0 in 60 ft times and then extending the lead to .4 by 1/8th.

He (Rick) has intake, headers,drag rads,bunch of mods producing about 480 hp in his Camaro. His car also has some suspension upgrades . I lined up in the left because he complained of poor traction in that lane.

I raised the car up, and since the lane had poor traction I simply rolled out and put focus on not spinning out. Power brake to 1100, and depress the pedal. I got him out of the hole and knew I could hold him off but he did pull me at the end of the track. His car is likely .2-.3 faster most of the time.

I made it up in the 60ft and was seriously floating after seeing my slip. Actually thought I had done really well with the 1.9 then realized that was the CAMAro!!!I SCREAMED, "HOLY ****" PULLED up to him and asked "WTF did I do"? He was very impressed and shocked.

I tried to duplicate the run but never managed anything close to that time. It was the "perfect" launch and certainly something to aim for. Here is a summary for you guys

1. Car in DYNO
2. Suspension Comfort
3.Suspension Raised
4.floor mats, ash trays, and spare removed
5.1100 RPM power brake, (if you can call it that)
6.Pilot Sport Cup Tires @28 psi
7.Heated tires @20 seconds 5000 rpm, foot off brake and accelerate out
8.Once launched stand on the pedal
9.Car under 100 degrees, I think it was 98!!(this is critical)

Your cars can hot lap all day but they will not achieve the lowest times, consistant yes but the best time was produced after a 30-40 minute break!

Prior my car was doing 13.2-13.3, on my very first run I beat my best actual time, but the DA was not as bad as prior dates so the 13.2 was not in the top 4 runs(12.58)..

Thanks for all your help guys, I know now my car can produce some real good 1/4 mile times based on the improved 60 ft. Gotta let her cool down!

I am thankful to all of you guys for all the tips and suggestions. The car may also simply be getting faster due to my continual barrage of track runs?

nice 60 buddy

Guys i'm not rying to start a war in here but i have a couple of questions:

1) whats the best UNCORRECTED 1/4 for a STOCK E55?

2) whats the best UNCORRECTED 1/4 for a STOCK E63?

it seems to me that the 63 is slower in the 1/4 than the actual 0.2sec claimed by MB.

Bluemax

You might want to read the entire post. It will answer your question

juicee63

LOL, Dude you are so cool .. I see your sig!!!

When are you going to the TRACK so we can keep this thing going!

juicee63

Thanks MAN!! I appreciate ALL your help. Now I just need to crack the 12's. Sacramento June 2nd , bet I do it

JAYCL600

u 60 like that and you're there consistently. This is a better track no?

juicee63

Like 50 ft above sea level!
Supposed to be fastest track in the WEST!

So yeah mid 12 should be easy. I will shoot for 12.5@113 1.9 or better 60ft.

Bluemax

I should be going in the next two weeks. My Company's Year end is this month so been a little busy. But i am buying some light weight wheels this week and some of those cup tires you like.

A big thunbs up on that 60' time
Glad you like the sig. I thought it might be a little undercover


Robert

juicee63

We could both be #1

You still have THE #1 time in an E63!!!

Edit:The #1 corrected time, lol.

05VENOM

Hopefully not for long. Missed the past two weeks at the track but will be headed there this week. Will keep you posted.

juicee63

Great man,

You and Bluemax both have Vipers too?


Remember man get the car in DYNO mode!

juicee63

Irwindale Tonight did
1.several 1.9 60 ft times
2. 8.17@87 was the best I could do 1/8 mile uncorrected
3.Car with Sprint Booster is trickier to launch.
I think launch from idle is best, still running in DYNO mode

Am I the only 63 owner going to the track 3 times per week?
Guess I need a J O B

looks like Xabo still has the fastest trap speed and Covina has the quickest ET? Cool.

juicee63

Tom had a 114 trap uncorrected as well as a 12.41 ET.. Yeah my car is heavy, killing my ET and Trap. Time for those super light racing rims. Maybe a CF hood LOL..Sad Tom only made 2 passes. We should of ran better the 2nd run but we were 1/100th slower.DA was half what it was from 7:56 to 8:56. The 63 seems to reall like to cool waaaaaaaaaaay down. My best trap was 111.81 but my car weighed more than I thought 4625!! DAM I need to lose 100 lbs maybe 150. My 60ft times were blank on 90% of my runs sad.

Get XABO to the track man.

Bluemax

Good Job. I am going this weekend, Hope i get more than one run this time . Did Tom's 63 have slicks or cups on it ? Looked like it had different wheels on it.


Robert

juicee63

Tom was using BFG on the rears. You will be fine with either BFG or the cups. BFG is stickier for sure but I think it could slow the 63 roll because the car is so heavy and that tire so s o f t.

Also bring ICE cool the engine way down to 60 c then run. You will be happy you did. I do not think the raised suspension helps me in the CLS. GOOD LUCK Robert. Tommy was a pro drag racer for about eight years in the funny cars. He definately will be a good asset in aiding the car down the track. Racing the E63 was really fun!!! It requires a better light by .2 or I dont have a chance. Cars are glued down the track , man its a blast. The E63 is a PERFECT bracket racer. We ran 2x and were within 1/100th on the slips. Maybe you wanna come up to SAC!!! I drove 5 hours and I will do it again. I will check Fontana and see when the next TNT is.

GOOD LUCK we are all counting on you!

Fontana

Sat 6-30-07 Street legal races
Sun 7-1-07 TNT

juicee63

Can you attend?

Lets get a So cal Fontana group together! I have never been to Fontana.Thanks for the info..Bet it gets C R O W D E D

Jrocket

Street legal days are useless.ive been out there all day and only got 2-3 passes.They let up to 400 cars in!

Best day to run is when the PSCA has a race there.You can run your car on Friday for the test n tune part of the event.Plenty of passes,and they prep the track great.

juicee63

Couple updates,
SAMSSONZ tonight ran off a bunch of 13.2@106 DA=4400 corrects down to 4th fastest 63 time run. Car did well until it suddenly stopped wanting to rev above 3k rpm. Runs were in dyno and with Nitto 555R1 tires. SAM was also featured on ABC news tonight running @LACR..WTG SAM. This was the 2nd best time for a 63 ever run @LACR 13.14@106!!! Great job also trapped at nearly 85mph in the 1/8tth
