I heard the orange Twin Turbo Gallardo went end over end after the parachute got caught in the rear wheel at over 235mp/h and SW's Supra broke the 9-in rear end!
Excellent numbers on Brooke's CL55! Congrats.

E55 w/ goods, Z32 Project underway
Was the wind blowing for this run? Seems a bit low. Lopes80 says he ran a 180.x and the last I saw his mods were comparatively mild. Different track of course. I believe a stock 6 Z06 is around 177-182mph so 180 is in good company.

Didn't soulsearcher do 198 last time and expecting 200+ this time?
If he did 188 and Exotic Metal CL55 did 180, that's def the fastest 55 out there right now

Eurocharged Performance ML63 and TT lambo
The lambo incident was terrifying, we saw the car go airborn after the parachute opened, and go end over end a few times, only to then land and start barrel rolling....
Driver is ok.....
Track conditions are harsh today, temp is high and head wind is nasty. But we are definately proving a lot out there with the 180...
Brookes trunk mount was working well, melting all the ice in the run. Oh, and for the record, he is not running nos at all! Pics coming soon!
black sl600 just ran 174
and yes that type of wind makes for an interesting experience at those speeds.
we are running again tomorrow.....should be better conditions and see if we can build on that 180.4
sw's shoot didnt open at the end of the run, and he ended up destroying his tires but stopping safely....

Congrats to all the MB's out there representing.
Brooke- congrats on your great run. 180 is no joke.
Keep the updates coming. Looks like the head wind is hurting a lot, Soulsearchers car ran 198 last time, the wind might be def hurting it.

only had 3 timed runs, all 179x, with no burn outs and just launching off idle, 180.1 came very late on the day and I launched of 1k revs.
My tank was half filled with ice and the water was warm on return.
I have all the Bolton's less cams on a Kleemann map, my car is maybe a stage 5?
