Who has the fastest E55?
Thank you ORMEN-SV for confirming my suspicions. I suspected the Kleemann car was a demo just to impress interested customers and not for everyday driving. Not being in Europe I don't have the ability to look up this Jason Watt and check the facts. Thanks again for your insight.
And Lucas, what about your full Kleeman spec cars? How quick are they, how much horsepower are they producing? Are they supercharged or just resprung?

Once again I think I have the fastest non supercharged, barely anything done to it, high milage E55 so far.
I just ran 13.128 @ 105.74 with K&N Air filter and Air box insulated with thermotec.

Great run, once the weather gets better, Im gonna try to best your time. I have run a best of 13.36, but I do it at 106+, with a 2.0+ 60ft. I have to work on my 60ft, man if I ran a 1.9+ 60 ft......

I had one like that, I spun a little off the line, my 60' was 2.021, quarter mile was 13.201 @ 106.09, so as you can see I've too have done 106 mph.

Last night I had a terrible run, I took off and spun ALL OF my first gear, my time was 14.479 @ 104.10 (not bad mph, but time was terrible)
You'll see once you go try out a new best time again.

Iam familiar with the effects of spinning, 60 ft etc, I have over 65 runs on this car alone, and use to do the Mustang scene, so this is my forte... I doubt I can eclipse your time, but it is possible, I was just commenting that if I had your 60ft with my MPH, I would have had better time

I dont think I will be running her again anytime soon, tracks are closed for another month and there is 15 inches of snow on the ground, no kidding I will take a pic of it when I get a chance, its crazy!!! Once the tracks open I will run her a couple of more times, but shes for sale at the moment so I do have to take it kind of easy on her. New ones on the way

Terrific runs Pocholin!!! Was that on Friday night? What was the temperature? By the way, after we left the track that rainy day they handed out rain checks. The event was rescheduled for March 30th. When I went to the track with My401 on Wednesday I complained and they let me in free! I guess I'm a cheapskate driving a Benz and complaining about ten bucks!

You might want to brake and get some 1/8 mile runs and then go for the quarter mile.

I'll be there. Running stock tires, but I will loose weight. Spare tire, tool box, 2-18" boom box, 3 sets of floor mats, and 19" TV. Hope to have 1/4 tank fuel with octane boost. and Jimmy Hoffa out of the trunk. Should I dial in 12.8's?

Tonight I ran a 12.135 ET @ 117.38 MPH with ambient air temp at 75 degrees and relative humidity around 80%. 60 ft. time was 1.931 and 1/8 mile ET was 7.927 @ 91.67 MPH. Only my fourth best all time ET but better runs were in cooler temps!
