Big congrats to Bart for running that beautiful wagon to a 12.47 today. It's all stock with his family stickers on the back window. Congrats brotha! Your wagon is hauling.
And I ran my best ever today and sadly the car broke on the second pass. But I ran 11.03 @ 126mph with a 1.60 60'. I do wish I could have rum more but it didn't happen. Thanks for everything fellas.

that's awesome considering all the hard work you put in to it but also sucks at the same time, but hey you can always build it stronger 


Congrats mang. Hope it's nothing major.
Do you have the split for the time slip?

Besides the trans problem, how'd the car feel? Did it pull nice and clean through the gears? First pass is usually the slowest, if not for the trans you would have only gotten faster. Props for putting it all together in such a short time span and then hauling her *** all the way to Georgia to rep!
and the Georgia boys.MBWorld Fanatic!
What happened to the trans? Glad to hear you are knocking on 10's door. Your 60ft times are sick!! What tires?

Congrat Elliot, I hope that your car will be ok soon. Good luck
Here is the data fro my PB run
60 1.872 (Hankooks)
1/4 12.471
MPH 112.72
The DA calculator on dragtimes converts to 12.15 @115
Not bad runs given the hot weather and only a BIP tune and TTM scoops
Also, I don't think removing the front grille improves times at all, I posted my best times with the grille in place.

the grille probably smooths the air just a bit before it hits the scoopsOriginally Posted by FASN8N

Which conversion did you use? Can't use the na conversion for a forced induction carOriginally Posted by FASN8N

I'll have videos up tomorrow for both cars. I'm driving home today (right now ).

I had set your pressure to a cold 16psi, it probably climbed to 18psi when they warmed. The plan was to drop it to 14psi as your car got dialed in later in the day. Just know that initially I set it at 16psi sir, plus the front donut rims equated to a sick 60ft.
This is his PB run from the tree, dont mind Greg and I's commentary!

Strange his car wouldn't spin the tires for the burnout. Maybe thats where/when the trans issue began.
MBWorld Fanatic!
At that point he was in dyno mode so it seems like the tranny was cutting power. I do know that he cut a 1.60 60 ft there, so if he roasted the tires on that run and got a low 1.5x 60ft, that is a 10.80 in 90* weather.

I guess I read the calculator too quickly, I saw the first one that listed stock engines (and now see that it says n/a). The last option says extensively modified supercharged and turbocharged engines and that calculated to a 12.35 at 113. No option for stock sced engines though...Originally Posted by blackbenzz

Very nice! Congratz that's a stout/fast E55 you've got there, def 10.9x or better in some serious Negative DA.

Dude I was nervous, hyper, hot, and tired. Forgot the car was not in dyno mode, and the weak excuse for a burnout sucked. So I hit the esp button and did a little burnout to make sure the tires were warm.Originally Posted by kustom2k1

Great times!! Congrats to the both of you. Saw FASN8N's wagon at the BIP meet earlier this year, pics don't do it justice.
