Took the beast to e town tonight--bested by a Cadillac

My first run In the E55 was a 12.13 @115.34 mph. 1.80 60 ft
Since it was a perfect cool night, I was hoping for a PB on the second run but I went up in smoke at the start --2.28 60 ft. :-(

I was on drag radials.

Anyway, I was surprised that a caddy cts-v can run a 12.08 stock on street tires

CTS-V
12.08 stock on street tires is one of the best time I've seen for the V2. I know there are a couple guys that broke into the 11.9 range stock with stock tires, but 12.08 is very, very good. What was his 60' and trap?

Eurocharged tune and DR's.

I think I need a pulley. I can't get the time slip to start with an 11 without one
