i would like to ask a question though. its maryland raceway right? isnt the track to cold to allow the car to safely run those speeds? i was always told that temps under 50* and the track gets to squirrley to be safe. most of the tracks i run close in the winter due to low temps. just wondering
It was 40+ and sunny I ran atco @ 36-40 with no problem it never felt sqirrley or anything scary perfect down the track. Traction was perfect there were zr1s trapping almost 135., in my opinion it was perfect weather. Warm enough to be outside cool enough for the car to be happy!

Yo bud... I understand fully where you're coming from (I've been insulted many times about my various cars over the yrs, what it made on the many Dyno's, how slow it is blah bla, how lame I am for NOT tracking it etc & many much worse personal insults about me & even my family)

I can dish it out as well, don't get me wrong.. But I'm trying to change that & trying to keep it civil (And admittedly I've had more than my share of wanting to knock peeps out)

But @ the end of the day ALL our cars are stupid lil' hunks of metal etc.. & def not worth getting so pissed over it on a frign' Internet forum no less, Life's far too short.


PS.. I wouldn't have EVEN questioned your latest results had you posted what you did in the other C63 forum about "Not releasing ALL your other secret go fast mods & not wanting to give everybody a recipe that you've made" NOT nitrous, but other valid mods for your platform...

Keep doin what you're doin, whatever it is it's breaking records

As Sean stated, just keep doing what you you've been doing and ***** everyone. Your car is hauling a$$, you're having a blast, hanging with other enthusiast, and going faster than you ever thought imaginable.....it doesn't get much better than that. I went through all the same ***** and still get it, and for what, running my car at Sac and posting my times...lol. The only thing these negative retards are doing is making this forum a lesser place. Their posts and constant bs only makes the people making huge gains not wanting to share anything on the boards, which in turn hurts the people with an open ear.

In my eyes it seems as though everyone that day went faster and quicker than usual, not only you. The fact of the matter is that you're given the opportunity to run at one of the quickest and fastest tracks in the country. Every now and then we are given opportunites to break records and in order for this to happen all things must be in place. This is not an easy task to accomplish. Once again Mike, great job and I look forward to seeing more runs out of your beast.

Das Geld seems to have been gelded by the challenge. Maybe "Das Gelding" would be more appropriate.

I don't know. . . I wouldn't put anything past a citizen of a country that has a fascination with David Hasslehoff's singing abilities...

LOL, even though I'm German, I personally can't stand Hasselhoff's singing nor acting

Anyway, German's might have a fascination for clowns like Hasselhoff, but they're not fascinated by drag racing. No offense, it's just not our thing. But "Das Geld" knows way too much about it. You could ask me anything related to a road course or even top speed runs on the Autobahn, but when it comes to the 1/4 mile, I wouldn't know the difference in HP, ET's and what ever else is involved between a 11 sec. pass and a 10.8 sec. pass.

On the bright side, you can safe your money for his travel expenses

Again, I'm not an authority in any way, shape or form when it comes to the 1/4 mile, but personally I don't think you sprayed the car. The engine could withstand 30 passes, but not the transmission. Just my opinion.

Well thank you I appreciate that. Weather it's sincere or not to open a post on this subject matter and see a positive in a land of negative is nice

I was just taking liberties because half my family is fluent in German (although not actually German)

My license plate is "VTRZANE" for "wiedersehen" and when I spelled it out on a piece of paper - none of them got it - when I told them what it was supposed to mean, to a person, they all said "well, that's incorrect - if you expect anyone to understand that you need to start it with a "w". For some odd reason, multiple languages = doable; phonetics = beyond their collective comprehension...

So "Das Geld" means "The money." Interesting, I tried to Google it real quick and did not come up with anything. I thought a castrated horse (Gelding) was rather appropriate in this case.

I understand about the 1/4 mile thing. It seems to be mostly American. the rest of the world appreciates total performance. Here, it is all about straight line performance.

Trust me, he's not from Germany. A German might challenge you for a road course race, but never the 1/4 mile .... forget about him and do your thing.

BTW: A real German would take the challenge. No matter what, he wouldn't back out like he did
