That will be awesome buddy. So only thing you did to the bottom end is pistons? Do they have a special coat to work with our blocks? No rods or sleeves? I am interested to see how your car turns out. One day I will probably build my motor and turn up the boost too, I just don't know which route I'm gonna go. With a built bottom end I see the old Kleemann blower being able to put out 600+whp and that a conservative estimate

The only problem is that the list only shows the best 60' on the best runs. I know that there are some better 60' times that just didn't happen on their best runs.

Sounds like we need a best 60' list on AD!

This car must have some serious mods right? Usually the diesels from that era are slow like dogs. I am curious what kind of mods can be done on a diesel ?

jmf003

Boost. Lots of turbo boost. The Dragtimes entry says 38 PSI, http://www.dragtimes.com/Mercedes-Be...slip-6881.html

TMC M5

Lol...great...I got volunteered for another project...you are worse than my ex-wife..

Tom

blackbenzz

Yup, 1.52

V12Godspeed

I wonder what will it take to get a 1.4x....

JAYCL600

shed an impossible 1000lbs from your car and u will get there

TMC M5

It is not impossible. The trade off is that the car would cease to be a luxury car. I am not sure anyone has the real desire to have a stripped out CL65/600. It kind of takes away from the whole purpose of the car..

Tom

Wow...I thought maybe 500 lbs, it's just not going to happen unless we have a boat load of power.

Every now and then I check out RacingJunk.com just to see what's for sale. Here's an R129 SL for sale that could probably run a 1.4 or better 60' time but to Tom's point any semblance of luxury is long gone: http://www.racingjunk.com/category/2...-Mercedes.html

A reinforced driveline. The 1.52 I ran was only a 2000rpm launch. If i get axles made you will probably see a 1.4x out of a benz if nothing else breaks

phoung

what about that guy that put a SLR engine into the slk. its on youtube. it destroyed a enzo

V12Godspeed

Nothing like pretty in pink. That thing will eat the quarter I wonder in how much...would sure be nice to see a video of it.

TMC M5

Nice find!

The 1,000lbs weight loss is certainly do-able. Here are some weight loss ideas which I wouldn't do:

Take out all the double paned glass (front windshield and rear window included) and replace them with lexan. (Estimated savings 75+lbs)

Take out all the ABC suspension pieces and replace with a conventional coil over suspension (warning some assembly and welding may be required ). (savings 175lbs)

Strip out massage seats and rear seat and replace with carbon fiber race seats up front, also need seatbelt harness as factory seats have the belts attached. (150lbs)

Replace factory hood with carbon fiber hood with no sound deadening material...(might as well have louvers, ducts or scoops built into the hood to allow more under-hood air volume). What the Heck...might as well replace all metal body panels wth carbon fiber pieces while we are at it. (50lbs)

DYMAG wheels. (60lbs)

Replace big brakes (at least on CL65) with a small brake kit or throw some carbon ceramics rotors on. (40lbs)

Take out all carpeting and leather in the interior and trunk. (50lbs)

Tear out sound deadening materials in doors, behind dash, and roof. (75lbs)

Take out motors for windows, sun roof and trunk closer (Jay doesn't need to do that delete ) (25lbs)

Take out windshield washer reservoir (15lbs)

Custom lightweight titanium exhaust with Cats deleted. (50+lbs)

Lightweight battery replacement (20lbs)

I think if you dump all other "non-essentials" you could probably stand to lose another 200+lbs (power steering pump, A/C compressor, etc..)

^^ Loose all that and you will definitely be traveling in a rattle box, not a luxo car...

AMGSC

No rods since the stockers are already forged but they were polished and you can see the pics on my other thread. Block was special coated as you said so it will be extremely strong. That's why it took so long to get this thing done. I'll stop at 17-20psi even though our 2.2 Autorotors are efficient up to 26psi.

btw... How is the fit and finish on your CF hood? Is it from VIS? Where can I get your battery? Again what's the brand if you don't mind me asking?

juicee63

YOU GUYS ARE DONE!

hooleyboy

That thing has to be hell on wheels. Just the kind of thing i like.

blackbenzz

Where is the most updated list? I wanna see how fast I need to go

juicee63

Alans 131 mph trap
my 1.47 60ft

You hold the ET record non nos???already correct.

The fastest passes since belong to Alan in his E55, also the quickest which you already own.

If you need a comprehensive list maybe Tom can help by updating the most accurate list which is on Absolutelydriven..

blackbenzz

Thanks Josh. I'm guessing Stephen still holds the overall quickest and fastest time for benzes? I'm shooting for the quickest title, even if it lasts just 1 day. I will be practicing tomorrow and then going for the record friday

juicee63

Yeah its 10.58 on thy bottle breaking rear ends , hehe

DAM MAN GOOD LUCK , I for one would LOVE TO SEE YOU set the bar a bit higher

Stephen04E55

Go for it! With those awesome 60' times without any boost issues, my 10.58 is easily beaten. That will give me some motivation to go faster. I can't believe that 10.58 has stood for 18 months.
