My car weighs exactly 3786 with a near empty fuel tank and no driver. I weigh 216, so my there is about 350 pounds differance between my car and yours with drivers sitting in the, like you said before, that is not too much weight.

I just wanted to know where the 520 came from is all. I believe you have the power and that you can trap 123 consistently. Now that I know more about your car, I kind of know but had just never seen a 63 add 100hp before...

Dynos are worthless for anything other than before/after mod numbers and safe tuning of cars. There are sooooo many variables between them(very similar to different dragstrips across the country). My buddy's remote mount turbo Camaro dynos 475rwhp................and yet he runs consistant 10.1-10.3 times at the drag strip. If you want big dyno numbers to brag about then just tell the dyno guy the next time you're there and they can change the settings to show you're putting down whatever you want. My Crossfire dynoed 1500rwhp at a local dyno day and I have 10 witnesses............but it doesn't REALLY make anywhere near that power.

I had a couple of dyno runs done on two separate Dynojet's and my hp varied 35 rwhp. That's what drove me to the track to finally see what she could do. After my trip to the track I no longer felt the need for a dyno, I was very content with my ET's.

Well this event was very diffrent for me I am not into the drag racing thing but I give everyone who ran out there props it looks so easy on TV but seeing it in person gives you a diffrent view.
Anyway I had some photos I wanted to share this was my first time out with a DSLR camera and thanks to auktane for some pointers and talking to be about lenses. My photos are not as good as his but I need to practice more and maybe someday ill be just as good.
Fastest ride out there powered by evosports.
The Godfather business as usual!
This thing can move no joke I was really suprised.
If anyone doesnt want a picture posted up there please let me know I will gladly take it down enjoy.

haters crazy
^ Quaife is an LSD, line lock is different
You know how I feel about dyno numbers bro, just makin the point that dynos dont mean anything. I've been saying that since day one.
Yup, I agree with you
I wouldnt go as far as to say it is the only way to get a proper burnout in a benz. If anyone has seen me run at the track they know my burnouts are overkill lol. But its fun

A line-lock kit allows you to lock the front brakes without any pressure on the rear drive wheels. This will allow you to sit in one place without the rocking motion you see and without killing your rear rotors or pads. It also allows you to use far less RPM's to achieve a proper burnout. You could sit there for 10 seconds if you wanted.

Ahmad, I know of at least 2 videos of you and your car doing burn-outs in the box and you can see flames shooting out of your rear wheels from you frying your brakes, the line lock would cure this problem and save you some money on rear pads and rotors in the process.

Push a button and it only activates your front brakes, your foot never touches the brake peddle, it's really cool and helped out a lot and it is a very inexpensive mod that is worth every penny.

How much is the line lock kit? I searched the Evosport website and found nothing at all. I've considered it in the past but didn't want to do any mods that would be visible to cause warranty issues at the stealership. Now I'm about up on warranty so it's no issue.
it never stops
