I'm not running my car. After spending literally all night swapping heads on the dyno, I bent a valve. Oh well, I will be driving some other cars. Should be fun!

If that chute is on there due to regulations then we may see the fastest Mercedes to ever run the 1/4 this weekend.

Well, eff me sideways! Loading up the drag radials in the Caddy and one is starting to show belts! Good lord...

Well, no chance I'm making 125+MPH passes on those things. In Dyno Mode, nonetheless. I'll still drive it down and cheerlead.

Dropping like flies!

Last year I drove all the way up there and it was the same thing. Not many AMGs. Blackbenz wasn't even there.

I'll be at the next one for sure. I don't care who goes.

Sure wish I could be there to see some of this go down. Hope everyone runs well today and doesn't have any problems to dilute the experience of the day.

How do you know about Evil_V? That is a guy from the V forum named Brian that lives in Maryland, assume you are talking about his running 9.63@142 yesterday at MIR? Stock exhaust manifolds, no cats, stock mufflers, little LS9 (ZR1 Vette) cam, ported blower, snout and throttle body, upper and lower pulley (2.85/9.1) and meth injection while on a 150 shot. About $6500 in mods counting the tune and injectors. He had a forged bottom end done for the hell of it though and had a transmission issue in the past so got a built tranny but those aren't needed for this achievement, several other guys are running same power off blower with a 150 shot on stock engine and tranny. Think he said the DA was -800ft and weather in the 40s.

Oh yeah, and a baby seat Car weighs like 4500lbs too.

I'm a big fan of Caddies as well! A friend texted me a link to the vid and I figured some of y'all must know the guy or at least know of the car. Talk about a sleeper!

Yeah big time. Ported supercharger and snout and the tune done by Formato over in Tampa. Running on his 93 octane/meth injection tune, he just changed the plugs to run the 150 shot.
