Video of my S600 10.58@132.4 now up

I finally uploaded the video of my best past from March 26 at youtube and dragtimes.com. Here is the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIG-akdyAiM. The run is very uneventful and it really doesn't look fast at all from behind the car. Anyways...thought you guys wanted to see it....

That was AMAZING.

hard to believe a car that size can do that. Great burn out , hard launch , simply boggles my mind. I know what a 10 second pass looks like and I still cannot imagine one in a Mercedes especially an S class. @132 LOL

Stephen04E55, was your car's suspension on the "raised" setting or was it on the "normal" low setting?

I used the "normal" setting on ABC and not "sport" or "raised". My car has the ABC suspension and not airmatic so the settings are slightly different. Raised setting is nice to have when the car has to be dragged on a rollback after it breaks.... Thanks for all of the positive comments as there was really no one there to see it live.

Very impressive, that's the kind of thing you don't believe unless you see it with your own two eyes.

I added another video of a 10.66@131.7 pass that has a better angle for viewing. Here is the link:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VHcxnoBtHk Listen to the Kleemann LSD moan after the burnout.... I wasn't sure that is was o.k. until it happened a couple more times that day. It only moans when there is a high load situation with the tires are in unequal traction conditions (one still slightly wet and the other on sticky asphalt). If the car stayed perfectly straight and exited the burnout box with the tires spinning then the LSD didn't moan at all.
