Congratulations !!!!
Congrats Juicee, you most definately deserve it....... 
Now that we hold the 63 record here on the west coast, we're going to need Jangy, Shawn, and others to take a shot at the 55 record

very nice eta and trap
any 55's??
most of the n54 335's were around 111 to 112..
with the fastest at around 115....with 98 oct, dp's, intake, DR's and custom piggyback
very impressive.. but definately not your daily driver set up.
The best daily driver set up ran JB2HR with stock tires and rims and no other mods.. Ran 12.6 and 112. Not bad. He did have a 100 oct/91mix.

This wagon also hit 11.90's so it was faster than I thought . It was piloted by a very determined young lady!

You most definately can do it and you do qualify as west-coast. However, I don't think the chances are good at Fontana because DA and temps are just too high. You'll need to do it at a Famoso private rental or Sacramento. I will rent Famoso two more times this year: November and December for optimum DA. I will keep you informed.....
Josh, I have only one question for you.... May I break your record . You are really a champ in my eyes BUTT I must give it my all and go after top spot 
You know RAR is always ready to give it!!! Great job Man.

You broke my record again so quickly that I didn't even notice that I had a record. But I enjoyed it while it lasted even if it was only a week
I'm wondering what times I could've gotten if they would've let me run a couple of more times

Rick seems like he is really plotting...Hmmm maybe he is not satisfied that a CLS took the crown?

Congrats on your run. I ran 3 consistant 12.twenties at Route 66 raceway in Joliet, IL in my bone stock Black Series last fall. Be careful what you wish for. You are begining to tread in a territory that will require a significant amount of money and dedication. Any NHRA sanctioned track requires cars that run an 11.00 et or faster be fitted with a roll cage and harness. Also if your trap speed is 135 or faster you must run a roll cage and harness. In addition quite a few tracks private liability insurance require roll bars for and sub 12.00 second e.t.'s or 125 mph or greater trap speed on test & tune "open to the public" events.
You will make your pass and a track official will come up to you , congratulate you and then tell you you are not welcome to run at their facility until you have a roll bar installed and harness' installed.
Furthermore, most tracks will require your to run water only (or water and water wetter) in your radiator (no anti-freeze) for 11:00 second cars.
I know you are still a second away from a 11.0 but it's something to think about. You are knocking on the door of a 12.00, so I would check with the track officials before your next trip to the track. I'm guessing my Black Series should be a low to mid 11 second car running the Corsa "street" tires once all the mods are done. I am getting a set of 18 Dymags with drag radials which should promise to get me into the low 11's.

Im actually running Summit this year in the Benz. There have already been some questions but the Division 7 folks say I am fine as is unless I hit 11.5 or lower.
This would require a SC or turbo IMHO.. so I will leave the high 10s-low11s passes to the heavily modded. I think Rflow and many folks here have been asked to leave the track. The absolute best I could ever do would be 11.80's and that would require a different tire.
I cannot wait to see how the Dymags do, very expensive but amazing . Your car is going to be blisteringly quick.
Has anybody ever launched a benz so hard the front end comes off the ground?

I had an old Trans Am GTA with a lightly modded 5.7 when I was a kid and it was making under 400hp at the wheels and it could lift the front tires off the ground when I ran M & H street slicks with 15 pounds of air pressure in them and the rear-end went on that.
