Ok...I compiled a list of the fastest MB 1/4 mile times from a number of sources. I know it is not 100% correct...so let me know which ones I am missing or are incorrect.

Let me guess....all on the east coast?

chiromikey

nah...there's at least one desert rat in there.

So the fastest Benz in America is a W220? Nice.

TMC M5

Actually, you might be surprised to hear that 5 of the top 11 times are split between Arizona and Sacramento. If you take out NOS times, then you are looking at 5 of the top 7.

damn i'd like to see what those cars could run with some good da!!! lou recently sold his sl65 to an acquaintance that i'm not sure will ever run it like lou did so we may never know what that car was truly capable of.

TMC M5

Yeah...it would be interesting to see them on the same playing field with negative DA's....but that is why MIR 11/15 is going to be such a great event.

My 11.59 on streets doesn't count?

toyos are great tires. Toyo and Nitto are same company and the t1's have the same rubber compound as the Nitto Drag radial Amazing times for a car in your state of tune, wow

Tom

TMC M5.....

Shawn has a run of 11.56 @ 121 mph with his stage 3, but he doesn't post online much. I think Juicee has the video and slip in one of his threads.

TMC M5

I found an 11.583 @ 120.44...is that the run you are talking about or did he better that one?

Tom

MB_Forever

He has an 11.56 @ 120 I believe. I can't remember exactly because he made so many runs. I'll double check with him. Thanks for the update...

TMC M5

Were you able to get in touch with Shawn?

Tom

juicee63

I reviewed my footage, and the one run you have is the one I have on tape.

11.58

I thought it was his PB but he may have some slightly faster runs.

TMC M5

I updated the list....a couple of things of note...non-NOS times were added for cars listed with a NOS time...but no numerical "rank" was given. Also, check out #14 on the list...it was a 6cyl turbo diesel with 38psi of boost!

Still got the W210 guy that claims punched out older E55 ran 10.45 but still no time slip to date and hundreds have begged.

Malcolm while Hitler of MB, still did run 10.5's in his super Nos'd W211 E55 but wouldn't post his numbers either. So for now, this is bout the best we have.

TMC M5

I was thinking of adding ohlord.....but I couldn't get past the disparity in ET to trap speed. When people aren't forth coming with info...it really damages their credibility. If someone didn't want to publicize their car....why post the time numerous times to begin with?

I would more than gladly list them if they came out of the shadows.
