This is JSBenz down in Miami. We meet at the track often and I'm not sure why the 10.6 was not on this vid. You can clearly see him fighting for traction and still trapping high. There were a few of the S. FL crew there that saw this record pass.

Enjoy!


JSBenz vs GTR


JSBenz vs Hotrod


RedBullJnky vs JSBenz

I ran 7.1 and he ran 7.2. He blew the tires off on his launch and still beat me to the finish.

Thats coming out the hole with authority, niceee!

JR not only has a fast CL55 but he's a great guy and is willing to help anyone that needs it, he is one of the few that actually tunes his own car

TheOtherDodge

Nice going! Im jealous!!

Nice runs! How does he tune his own car? If only we had a way to tune our own cars it would open up the door for a lot more. It's so hard to dial a tune in on the dyno and then have to work at getting the drivability good also not to mention being able to try little things without having to call Jerry to add some fuel or tinker with this or that.

Hulk

I agree for once, lol
He actually likes to tune on the road, he will start dyno tuning in nov but he will still bring the car out as well

He will NEVER come on the forums as he simply doesn't have the time as his business keeps him very busy

GT-ER

x 17 billion. This is the only car I've ever had that doesn't have a tuning software available for it.

Yea I'm not knocking the tuners at all I'm just saying it would be so nice if we could do it ourselves. I believe the platform would be so much further along also. I had a drag radial mustang that I tried tuning myself and quickly realized first its not easy and all the power in the world is nothing without traction. I had a well known person tune it to figure out what I was doing wrong and it was trial and error after that.

Awesome sideways launch against the GT-R! Thanks for sharing.

Haulin!!!

Damn, that is quick. He really has his CL well figured out. Congrats to JSBenz.

" World Record" LOL...I hate to admit I followed in the footsteps of those before me with that title. Once I stopped and looked up, I realized the path those steps led me down didn't suit me. Live and learn.


RBJ, so what are your thoughts on comparing nitrous cars and non-nitrous cars? Do you feel they should all be grouped together, or separate categories for both?

ctravis595

RedBullJnky

Hi

Is their any chance we can find out what tyres and also the size he was running on the rear?

Regards,

OZZYAMG

RedBullJnky

Those are stock 18s from another Benz. Not sure which one. But those are MT drag radial.

OZZYAMG

Hi

When you say MT drag radial do you mean the normal ET Streets or another model? Any chance you could find out and also what size?

Regards,

OZZYAMG

TheOtherDodge

ET Streets can be either bias ply or radial construction.

When saying "Drag radial" they mean the ET Street drag radial.

Radial ET Street: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/mtt-3756r

I will be running a set of 275/30/18 DR's tonight!

OZZYAMG

Hi

Yes but the tyres in your link do not have 18" tyres. Is this the tyre that is been used:

In a 265/40/18 size?

RedBullJnky

I'm meeting with him today. I'll get all the info for you. And yes those are the tires. Not sure on the size.

Exotic-metal55

Great vids, times and love those sliding box burn outs!

TheOtherDodge

Ozzy: I just answered about the diff between the type of ET Streets.

RedBullJnky

I've run both those tires on 16s. Cut 1.6s on the radial and 1.5s on the bias.
