4900 is baseline for sae I dont think condition get much better than 4900 there. In any case he claims a 12.49@ altitude which would be
.9754 1.0233 this is half the correction for a SC car
12.18 ET@115.47
Ok its possible I guess...
GREAT RUN in the CLS 55
My best corrected is 12.36@115
so this continues to show the .2 difference . BOOOOOOOOOOOO
Dam now I gotta get to 12.49
I borrowed the other guys DA calc, weather meter. It was AWESOME. I will definately buy one for my runs Oct-DEc

[QUOTE= Why would Mercedes introduce the next generation model as a slower car?[/QUOTE]
To comply with Euro pedestrian safety regulations. The SC sits exactly where the knocked down pedestrians like to hit their heads, so it had to go.
The 6.2 NA engine is the best AMG could come up with ie. a compromise.
They were never going to improve on the E55, they simply had no choice.

Are you guys sure those aren't the European M5's using launch control? cause that knocks about a second off from the North American versions. Also, maybe a little modded because those times do seem a little quick for stock even with LC.
