Ahmad, big congrats bro.... 
as others have said, your new record is well deserved 
You worked hard and earned it all the way. You are now 0.2 seconds away from being the FASTEST BENZ IN THE COUNTRY 
You know, this makes me wonder...... if you're breaking all these records with a CLK55, I can't even imagine what you would do with a 65 engine

Wow! So many posts to respond to!
Thanks, I love the 208 styling so much I had to get another one. Started off with a silver 99 W208 CLK430 and then got this 01 W208 CLK55. It has definitely come a long way.
Thank you. The worst part is that the slower times you see are caused by the trans bouncing on the 2-3 shift and other times it would short shift first. I think I figured it out by the end of the day. In order to prevent the short shift of first, you have to get the gas pedal to the floor quickly and not push in the kickdown button. I'm not sure if this holds true but it seemed to work on my last pass of the day. Unfortunately the warmer air (or the car not running as strong) didn't let that pass be a great one.
Thanks!
Thank you!
Haha, I guess so. Thanks
Kinda like your black series in the looks department!
Thanks. I don't like using nitrous, I actually regret putting it on the car. That being said, I very well may spray the car after I get it tuned for nitrous since I am pretty close to the overall #1 spot.
Thanks bro I gotta bow down to that menacing CL of yours Thanks for making the drive down to MIR, it was fun! We should do some heads up runs for fun, it will be reallyyyy close with you most likely winning. All in good fun
Thanks Josh, means alot to me! Only problem is I don't have a cage I would only get one pass before they kick me out
Thank you! Once you get the cams in you should be going tens too! Your car is very strong to be running those numbers in Cali. I hear my car would do no better than a 12.0 out there :rofl:
Thank you
Thanks for the lead. I will let you know how it goes.
Thanks!
Thanks, so when is the next ATCO rental? LOLLL
Thanks, I love your CLS
Thank you very much. 0.2s may not seem like alot but it is an eternity away. I might be able to hit it on nitrous. But I will try with just a few small mods and a retune. I am perfectly happy with my numbers now but I'm sure it will wear off real soon. Already looking into ways to get the 80/82mm TB to work on my car haha.
If I had a 65 I would have zero money for mods so it would run stock times and I would need to get a second and thrid job to make payments lol
Thanks! How's your 55 running?
Thank you, you have pm.
To be honest, I was surprised myself. When I was handed my first time slip I didn't believe it because people have played tricks on me before and I felt that I left a bit on the table as it was my "shake down" pass. I was sooo happy when it hit me that I finally achieved my goal of tens and by a pretty big margin.
Thanks! You gotta come down for one of the events!
Thank you

you reflect the very best of what we all wish to be.
Dedication, persistance, encouragement, a teacher, a student.
I look at the numbers and it seems you squeeze every drop of auto out of your car. a 1.52??? 10.70's, seriously you need to be in NHRA and run the car . Your consistant and blazingly QUICK! I think you would be a formidible entry .
A new respect for the pointed star, a new respect for you.
AHMAD YOU ARE THE MAN

Ahmad, I just realized you are about .25 off the all time MB world record, you should have hooked the bottle back up on your last pass of the day and gone home with two records...a simple 100 shot would have given you at least 2/10th if not more yesterday....again, nice work

^ Thanks, I try! No 9's for me. At this stage of the game, every tenth is an eternity. I'm surprised the car jumped from 11.00 to 10.78 but I guess cutting your 60' off by over 0.1s will do that. Some people said it was impossible for me to cut better than a 1.60 60' Good thing they didnt put money on it huh?
Yes that is true. Although I have ahd alot of help with this car! Thanks
Thanks Brad
I don't remember what Stepehens record is, wasn't it 10.58? If so then I'm 0.2s away. Race gas and nitrous is reserved for **** talkers and money races. You forget that my nitrous goes through the supercharger and has more of an effect than just an NA car. A 100 shot on this car would be insane
Thanks!!! I'm pretty happy with the times. We will see what happens. I'm sure your car will come out even stronger than last time and set even faster times! I had the #3 spot til Jason drove Jodys beast and took the spot lol
Records are nice but definitely not the reason I drag race. I love the "sport"
Thanks Brad
