2004 E55 AMG and 2003 C320 4Matic Miss my 993 Turbo above!!
***In Preparation for MIR 11/15/2008, I purchased a new item for my set up***

A new Quaife LSD purchased from James @ Creative Autoworks yesterday. It is being shipped to Cory in Colorado. David @ Elite Motors will be taking my LSD off to have shipped to Cory to have him install the Quaife. Once Cory is done with it, it will be shipped back to David for final installation. Nightmare in coordinating all of this but I needed someone I can trust to do the job right. Cory at Kleemann has done a lot of these installs.

I realize no increase in HP, but I hope it will accomplish 3 things:
1) Help in my launches to consistently get at 1.62-1.70 60'.
2) Beef up the rear end so I don't break it at MIR or NED next time a launch aggressively
3) Break the all motor record of 11.340 at MIR for E55's.

Stay tuned..........

I am worried about my axle once I am getting an additional 80-100hp to the ground with slicks. I beleive the Black Series already comes with beefier axles and rear end. I've thought about making a similar change, but I figure I will just wait to see if I break this one.....Wreck it buy a new one!

East Coast...West Coast...Where do I fit in? Midwest just sounds so, well, Midwestern! You don't hear rappers rapping about the midwest, but they do rap about Chi-town. Chi-Town sounds much better. From now on I am the Chi-Town contingent. Do we have any others from my neck of the woods planning on attending the event? I'm going to be considerably out numbered but I'm confident I can hold my own no matter what you guys throw at me. 3.5 months is a lot of time to build a monster if needed.

Albert,

It's amazing how long your #1 record (both motor and non motor E55) has held up given what has happened over the past couple years. You are a legend man........Lot of respect for you. You have paved the way for many of us.

You know, it would not surprise me if it still holds up even after MIR.

ChicagoX needs to show with his 55!!
I think we need to call you team West.

They do not say Chicago =Mid-East?

Team West AMG will need members due to the difficult travel process..

Plus it's best to be WEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

West Coast cars Mop up HIGGINSBEACH even after his LSD install LOL.
Just Imagine running a guy who has never seen even a 60 degree day, who has always been scorched by the Arizona heat? Then imagine facing a car that only runs 20000 miles high and his 750 hp E55 hits 12.50's , plus no beer!!

You will have some giddy a** 55 drivers upon the first 10.99@130 pass , heheheeee

Prepare yourself

I don't know about "Team West" I am east of the Mississippi River so technically I'm "East"...I'll just stick with Chi-Town. ChicagoX and I are going to bring the 55 and 63 records home to Chicago with us

I don't think I want to start messin with those V12 boys yet, maybe I will have something for them next year.

Our sources tell us Albert AKA "Rflow" has gained a substantial amount of weight, eliminating him as a threat in this event. We project the all motor record falls hard and fast forcing Rflow out of his retired state and back into his car. Our sources also indicate The fastest East Coast all motor 55 is being piloted by a person seeking to break Rflows long standing record in his E55, well we can tell you we know his name it starts with R and ends with D.

You likely will need LSD, just not the kind you installed

Did somebody say sh_t talking?

I've got the Team 63 and Team CLK thing in the bag, I'll go out on a limb and say that BLACKBENZZ's CLK record is going to fall long before the Nov MIR meet. I think my drag slicks alone are gonna have me knocking on his door...if not busting it down!

Good luck with that...

My record is definitely going to fall long before MIR, and it will be beat by me!

Edit: I think I'm going to go out and break the record tonight without nitrous in mid 80 degree temps with 50% humidity. I'll save the nitrous for MIR

We're doing a Test/Tune in Northern Indiana on August 30, 2008 for a Pre-eastern Tune-up!!! Get a hold of Jerry at LET. He can set you up!!! The Chicago contingent has it all figured out. We're going to run some slow times (called= Sandbagging) in August so that when November and cool weather rolls around, we look like we only got faster!!! There will be some C32s running in the low 12s. Maybe some Srt-6s in the 11s too!!!

Moral support????? Johnny is our entire support system

West Coast got this...... I can already picture the looks on people's faces when chiromikey pulls off a 1.42 60' time and JakPro unleashes his 700 HP beast down the track without being held back by 6000 ft DA..... Shock and Awe effect

Ahhhhhh...... I can smell the title already
