1st day down and 2 more to go. It's late ( for me ) and I have been up since 5:30am.
Points:
1. Stock Mode, 93oct fuel, mid 70's temp humid, headwind, Sport mode, best speed was 160.xxx mph
2. Revo Mode, 105 fuel, high 80's-low 90's temp, crosswind, Sport mode, best speed was 168.xxmph
3. Check engine light off/on during the day with right side cam pos sensor faults again ( light went off before dealer had part in stock so I ran with out the repair )
4. I cannot help but feel that the sensor is not working therefore holding the performance back somewhat. Light is off tonight.
5. It is supposed to be cool mid 40's tomorrow morning and I have been running 105 all day today, so it should be pure unmixed 105 for tomorrows runs.
6. Took alot of pictures ( to be posted when I get back to Dallas ) favorite and most expensive: Porsche Gt1, Bugotti ???? < Not Veyron > Carerra GT, GT40, a couple Zr1's, a pair of Lamborghini's, MB CLS63, etc...
7. Top speed was Supra at 248.xxx 1st run, then 228.xxx before blowing its motor all over the track.
8. Drove friends GT2 to 188.xxx and experienced how smooth the Rs6 is in comparision
9. One fast CLS63 made it out for the day... Rick left early before I could find out how all his runs went...
Thats about it, I wish I could have said I broke into the 180's... but something is holding me back???
I'll be back out at the track at 730am tomorrow morning.... hopefully with better results!
more to follow....

BS! It gets old. Many here paid well over $100k for our E55/E63s and CLS55/63s so to think that we would have gotten a CLK-BS if we could afford it just shows how stretched you actually are. Get over yourself. It really gets old.
BTW, many peopleconsider your BS a hoopdie (like me). Purpose built and can't even accel at that purpose. For $130k (if you are dumb enough to pay retail) there are a dozen cars that will SPANK the BS on a road course.
Thnaks for ruining such a cool thread and your car is slow.
