Need your help
I have been a member here for awhile although I do not post much. I need some help if I may ask. What MB is the quickest (stock) in acceleration (1/4) in a 4 door model ? The reason I am asking is this; I put on Car Shows and Drag Racing Events and would like to invite ONE to come out to our Event to show our marque what a 4 door MB can do. This Event will be held in Columbus, Ohio on June 14 & 15, 2008. So if you are interested & close please let me know.
Here is a link to it: http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/...ad.php?t=56094
Thanks

All 4 door models in AMG form are very fast in the 1/4 mile , just need a car close to you . A modded E 55 is likely gonna put on the best show but most shocking would be the 5100lb S65.
Any 4 door AMG car is gonna impress. ML 63 is funny , or G55 SUV's in the high 12's

Sounds good to me. Now is there anyone that would like to come to the Event and RACE FOR FREE ?
Imagine getting 7 passes in front of 2,000 spectators and 350 other participants plus a National Car Magazine.
So all I need now is for someone to say that they will come.
Thanks

There has to ONE of you that want to strut your ride in front of our Participants and Spectators !!!!!
Trust me you will the time of your life, talking to our group, showing off your car.
Just to let you know so far the quickest LX is at 11.22 @ 122 mph.
But the quickest car coming will be a 4-cylinder 1983 Shelby Charger and it is a Front Wheel Drive. Last year this Street Car ran 10.066 @ 139.76
Once I get my 4 door AMG--MB committed I will be after a 4 door BMW.
Post Up Guys

Chuck, I'm interested but I see 150+ cars at the event which is great but how do you figure seven runs with that many cars?
Also, unless we run with juice, an E55 will not likely see an et of 11.2. On the other hand a trap of 122mph is not a problem.

I really want to get at least 1 MB AMG 4 door at this Event as there are many admirers on the Charger Forums. Numerous times I see people with the SRT-8 vehicles asking how they would fair up against a AMG or an M5 so that is one of my reasons on posting here.
If you guys ever hold an Event somewhere close to me I would be more than glad to come out and either watch or participate.
Hope to get someone confirmed before the end of Feb.
Thanks

This will be a *fun* meet.
Once we get the fast 4 door AMG confirmed (most likely ROCK). Then I will go over to the M5 Board and get one of their 4 doors to come.
I will keep you guys posted as the Event gets BIGGER.
If you get a chance check out the link I made in here on some of my rides.

Evening guys,
I hope that some of you are planning on coming out to cheer on ROCK.
The other reason I would like for you to attend, is to get your opinion on the Event in general. Next year we are going to be doing an Event that will be geared for any Mercedes Benz Vehicle plus all other foreign exotic cars along with the Vipers, Ford GT 40's, and Corvettes. There will be a National Car Magazine as the Marque Sponsor. Just wanted to get your thoughts.
Thanks
Chuck
