CLS55 AMG
Went to the track this weekend...
So I'm posting this in the e55 section since the cls55 crowd doesn't do much drag racing. Took my CLS55 to the drag strip for the first time. My second run was the best one of the night. Car is completely stock running on stock tires. Time was 12.52 @ 111mph. Does that sound about right for a stock car?

Trapping only 111, tires alone will NOT do that.
Something seems off, like the dreaded IC pump, as 111 is LOW.
And by the way, ANYTHING less than 2.0 60' time on street tires is VERY good my friend.

Hes talking about Tbal's car getting into the 11s.. Hes trapping 118, so yes it is possible.. And trapping 111 in a cls55 is right on point... Best ive trapped is 114 and the cls is quite heavier

And stock E55 have gone into the VERY low 12's, and one has done 11's. Check around please
You might want to talk with a few of my friends here about their times with their CLS55's.
And 118 into the HIGH 11's is possible with DR's. Not HIGHLY possible, but nevertheless possible.

CLS55 AMG
quote from car & driver
"The CLS55 takes only 4.2 seconds to run to 60 mph, and the quarter-mile falls in 12.5 seconds at 115 mph. The E55 in last year's comparison test got to 60 in 4.3 seconds and posted an identical 12.5-second quarter at a marginally faster 116 mph. "

That is the ONLY thing that you have said that I can agree with
Keep in mind that track prep does NOT effect MPH to ANY huge degree but WILL effect ET WILDLY.
Guess what, I have been doing that for OVER 25 years and have seen a few in my days.
For the OP: While 111MPH is only slighlty off my friend, I would suggest looking at the IC pump, as HIGH IAT's will start to pull timing and dump fuel.

If his IC was dead, he wouldn't be seeing mph's over 107 or 108.. Thats the highest mph's I was seeing when my pump was dead..

The fastest stock cls55 on dragtimes is 12.28, and the majority of them are running around 12.5 so you have nothing to worry about.. Maybe you need to look up your stuff MRAMG1..

1.I wouldnt consider 250 lbs "VERY" close my friend..
2. Im aware of what stock E55s can do, but thanks for the heads up..
3.For the first time at the track in his cls55 id say 12.5 @ 111 is very good, and I think im all set with talking to your friends of what times they run..
4. I know my stuff..
5. Lastly if your trapping 118 in an E55, I would hope you can break into the 11s or you need some work on driving..
2. You are welcome
3. Again something that I can agree with. Except for that friends thing
4.
5. MANY variable here, track prep, tires, driver skill, etc, etc. As far as hoping, there are MANY E55's that track OVER 118 in the 12's, with 1 in the 121's. But again you know your stuff.

1. Depends on who you ask, but most knowledgeable companies/people rate BOTH between 4100-4300. With most rating the E55 heavier.
2. You are welcome

I still dont even understand what point your trying to make? First you say his pump is dead, which i almost guarantee is not true.. Then your trying to argue with me about the weight.. I mean im not even sure you have said anything worth while in this thread.. I guess thats why your apologizing for all this "dribble" though..
Dragtimes not reliable or something buddy?? Its called a sample size, when did I ever say these results were the only results out there? What point are you even trying to make? I mean the majority of CLS55s are running around 12.5 @ 112, thats all I was trying to say.. And your just turning this into a pissing contest..

Ill say it once again so you can get it through your thick skull.. If your trapping over 118 then you should be in the 11s, OR YOU NEED TO WORK ON YOUR DRIVING SKILLS..

Saw the OP and wanted to throw in my experience as I'm new to the track.
My best for my 08 E63 was 12.73 at 111. From what I can find on the interwebs, the E63 is supposed to be low 12's, whatever that means. 12.7 is not LOW 12's, so I chock it up to inexperience and stock tires. Temps were cool that day too, around low 70's.

.... but mainly stock.. with the exception of mufflers and a custom intake. Suprisingly my best run so far is on street tires..
