It's amazing how quickly your car gets to 3rd gear. Such a silky smooth launch as well. I'm mostly impressed with the weight transfer and steadiness of your car. That detail doesn't happen overnight, and that's a textbook run in any class. Awesome driving and making that look easy.

Unbelievable launch Ahmad...... as perfect as you can get, and even more impressive, the smooth weight transfer

EDIT: cruzinquick beat me to it

Damn.....Your launch is fricken incredible !!!! It's amazing when I watch videos from both of our cars, they're so very different but yet close. You should be very proud of your accomplishments and what you bring to MBW, thank you for sharing Ahmad !!!!!!!!

no tire squeel, great launch.

Ahmad , you did it man, this is a ridiculously quick run. I think I figured out the trap speed issue. It sounds like your car is stuck in 3rd gear and shifts out right at the end of the track vs staying in it. Second gear sounded short, 3rd gear was long but not long enough.

ET is what matters most to me so if I owned this car I would not mind much at all the 125 mph trap on a 10.66. Great video, just great. , straight crushed that run.

That is a blistering fast time

In fact Ahmad is inspiring. It makes me want to keep at it with modding my car.

Ahmad is all of this on the stock clk55 block? As soon as these holidays pass its back to the drawing board for me.

I think the whole forum owes a debt of gratitude to Ahmad. He is one of those guys out there helping to keep the competitive edge alive for us racers. It's people like this who see their Mercedes as more than an aid to pick up chicks. Not only that, but saying the status quo is not good enough. Having the mind set and saying "if the parts i want are not available, I will make them myself" has paid off. I think people need to see this for what it is. A great feet and 1/4 mile stone for Mercedes performance. Well done Ahmad
