I think I saw this car stop by the Eurocharged rig, at the Texas Mile last week. Looked good....
Hadi, what's your car run in the 1/4?

The math doesn't add up here??? Did the S65 leave half of it cylinders at home? Perhaps he let you borrow one of his turbos for these runs???

Of course it's possible. But, a healthy tune only 65 car, should be in the basement 11's at roughly 125-128 mph. Either Hadi has a 10 second car, the 65 isn't healthy, or the driver did something goofy. All of which, are entirely possible.

I've seen the power that E/C is making with the 65s, and it's impressive. So much can happen in street races though. It certainly appears that Hadi has a strong *** car though.

I will say this, Hadi's car is stout. If you look at his mods he's got all the right stuff. Do you guys remember the E55 with 6 tail pipes with the one mile tune that beat the CL65? Well same scenario here.

What do you mean by "tuned" though, that could mean alot of things, mildly tuned-moderately tuned-heavily tuned. The 55 ate the 65 though in the video, he had a massive lead, we really gotta see what Hadi's car runs in the 1/4, he hit 150 pretty fast
EDIT: If tuned means just a tune then it could be very possible, those 65 engines gain respectable HP from just a tune but Hadi's car has alot of bolt ons. Not sure what his dyno numbers are but he could have a 10s car which is not a stretch for beating an S65.

With just a tune, 172mm pulley and Heat Exchanger I ran 11.87. I haven't ran the quarter since then. This was the same S65 at the Mile with EC. he was pretty upset that he couldn't beat me.

Outcome seams reasonable then.....
**EDIT***
Yep, just looked it up. Heavy as hell. Stock 1/4 mile times seem to be 12.4-6@115-118ish. So, I would assume a tune-only car would be low 12's@120ish.
Note to self....Do not get a W221, if I plan to race Hadi.

Good grief! I didn't realize they were THAT heavy. I assumed mid 4500's....

There was nothing wrong with the S65, however, there is a problem with my car. ITS TOO FAST! hahahaa.
I was a bit nervous to race him, but Shardul, Brooke and I have put so much time into this car and its working out!
I need to get her to a track to see her real potential!
