i would love to come down to E-town but i have my car completly torn apart

V12Godspeed

V12, you going to MIR in the fall? theres a handfull of AMGs in my area, thought it might be cool to get a caravan going

V12Godspeed

yes sir!! I will be there in my prime. By the way I went last night and best run was 11.53 at 121.xx, sixty footer of 1.73

My car seems to be acting a bit funny, seems torque limits are kicking in...she takes a big pause from 1st to 2nc gear and kind of stalls for a bit. Tiime to get her tuned. Wether was cool last night, I could have swear she was going to go sub 11.5, did not happen.

Come on, you can let a NA V8 out run you... In all seriousness, there must be something else going on because that 60' time is more than respectible.

V12Godspeed

Not at all....if you could show me the first V12 to hit these times nearly stock then you could say I am a horrible driver. The car has reached maximum potential in my book for the stock status. You have torque limiters and afew other nacks to pick, Once I get her tuned we will see if she sings the same song.

Keep in mind all I have invested is 500 dollars for a cooling mod and some drags radials, that is it!!! she ran 11.5!!! ok, so you were slightly faster, no comparison... to your V8 that weights nearly 1500 punds less... I have a fat car man...I will get her moving though, just give me till MIR.

I did not know you car was virtually bone stock, now I'm very impressed. It looks like you have your launch all figured out. BTW how mauch does your car weigh? My BS is over 3800 pounds, you can be 1500 more than me...or can you?

V12Godspeed

LOL, I figured you didn't know she was stock... in terms of weight its 4,938 LBS, just call it the 5000 pound boat. So it's more like 1200 pounds more... Wow, that sounds horrible..lol! I need some weight reduction and she might go a bit faster.

Youre my bro, but a couple of quick corrections. Your car is no longer stock, you have "filters" and a cooling system modification that have increased your trap speed 2mph. Also your car weighs 4654

blackbenzz

How did you get the cooling mod and d/r's for $500??? Help a borther out lol

V12Godspeed

Hmmm, Ok my bad I changed filters...Wow, that will sure give me some power..LOL! Right...the IC, yeah definitely a mod. What I was referring to was that I have not really unlocked the potential of the car thru ECU and TCU, hope that makes things "clear"

In terms of the weight, I was misquoted...the car quoted is the 2008 CL65, just figured that out.

Thanks for the correction Jay. LOL!, you are like a watch dog.

V12Godspeed

Cooling was like 500, drag radials were free....they came with the rim I purchased... read the words carefully my brotha!!!

Oxygen

Whoa... what cooling mod? What filters?

V12Godspeed

You already have been discussing it at AD...

enzom

You got new DR's, Jody?

JAYCL600

lub ya

V12Godspeed

Hahah, just the ones you gave me with the purchase of the Kosei's, lol!

V12Godspeed

Love you too...

Hey...most of us (inlcuding you) are still chasing an E300 turbodiesel (#14 on the list)...

Oh the powers of propane.....I'm sure the 300 diesel was pumping about 50psi of propane through his motor. That stuff is like nirous on steroids when injected into a diesel motor.

TMC M5

Is that your next project?

One of my mechanics has a Dodge Ram diesel dually that will put down high 11's those things are no joke, so I'm sure getting low 11's out of a sub 4000 pound turbo diesel car is no problem at all. The truth is a I'm more impressed by a big S class putting down a low 11 than a diesel.
