SpeeDriven CL65 10.70@134.30

60' 1.74
1/8 6.98 @ 105.5
1/4 10.70 @ 134.30

After 4 aborted runs due to excessive wheel spin ( on one pass it spun so hard that the transmission popped out of gear) I decided to feather it out and hope for the best. I accomplished a new personal best. The TCU definitely made a big difference. It used to have a very long delay between shifts and the car would spend most of the pass in between shifts. Now that doesn't happen. In my opinion the TCU is worth at least 1 mph and possibly up to 3mph. Marcin also flashed the car with a VERY aggressive ECU tune that can only be run with a very high octane fuel. The car is making tremendous power. I think it can trap over 135 mph as it sits and possibly hit a 10.40. We're going to the track again Sunday and are hoping for a better prep. Marcin says the ECU has even more power in it Let me get it to hook like this first!!!!

I hope I can break the record without having to drive 800 miles!!! Yes still stock turbos. I am debating on going with the upgraded turbos. I think I can trap 135 as it sits so I don't know how much more I'd want out of it. This pass was a hot lap pass after multiple aborted passes due to lack of traction. No ice available at the track last night either.

Awesome run!!!!

I'm sure with better cooling down time, Ice, and better traction 10.4's will be obtained.

You're very close to RennTech's record, Ahmad's record, and Stephan's overall Mercedes record.... this is where things get really exciting You may already be able to lock in a 10.5, but a 10.4 would certainly re-write the record books

Congrats Marko. Great MPH.

10.40s definitely within reach.

You missed some good runs at Exotics Rally Standing Mile in Miami today. Sorry you got delayed at hotel in Miami and couldn't make it out.
