Would be cool to see what everyone is running

AMG E Power

Ya I want to get a v box, been posted before. Would like to get at least 8 secs even.

With all the builds going on, I would love to see some times. I have a Vbox and will be posting up when I get a chance.

Bet your speedo will will beat your tach to two o'clock


But please don't cross the river 'cause they got this place on damn lockdown over here.

Is V-box a GPS-based device? My DashDAQ has the GPS option and has performance measuring metrics. I wonder how accurate it is. Sounds like V-box would also have some gyroscopes or some other wizardry inside.

60-130 should be a turbo cars dream. I've done a 7.3 on a 10.75 run and i've gone a 6.9 on the street but it was a slight hill and it was nice and cold. Blackbenzz has the picture for the haters (i used his Vbox). hopefully the new build will be in the low 6 second range maybe into the 5's.

Ahmad, It would be pretty cool to see where the AMG's stack up. 60-130 is a nice range for the E55. Because anything after is the 7 speed M156 and M157 guys dream!

What do our cars run stock on a good cold run, 10 flat? 9s?

320 dreamer

unless you plan on building a 800+ rwhp setup its unlikely you will ever see 5's

heres a running list of 60 to 130 cars . scroll down to see the non pcar runs. takes mega power to run low 6's or 5's

most forums req. a vbox or pbox for verification. nothing else is accurate enough

dads c63 only mb listed in the 5's with a 200 shot
5.98 - Dads C63 / H/C + Bolt-On C63 AMG + 200 shot of Nitrous (MHP S5)

My runs were with a Vbox. I should have well over 800hp if all goes well. It's being built for more than 1 power adder.

Vbox is awesome. Love mine
Yours is going to be killer!
Haha!

Oh don't worry I've spent more than enough time on that side of the river against my will
Vbox is GPS based and only one accepted for official runs.
Yup turbos love it and the less shifts the better. Thats friggin fast!
A friend of mine has a CLS550 that he swapped a 55k into. It has a 7 speed in it and it works
5s are not something I expect to see out of a 55 any time soon.

Damnnnn 5s is fastttttt
Cant wait to see your car done

320 dreamer

understand im not saying it cant be done. just that 5's are extremely hard to get and require a huge amount of power. i hope one of you meet the # and exceed it!

ArmoE55

I thought some HPF Turbo E46 M3s are running in the low 6s/5s?

But yea, to run those times 60-130 takes A LOT and definitely more for the big power cars.

Anyone in SoCal got a vbox they want to lend me? Lol curious what the E would do...

gaspam

there is a M3 hpf running 5.12 and audi AMD s4 running 5.42 on pump

A top fuel car does 60-130 in .4 seconds and 280+Mph to the 1/8 mile. If only they would give out rides....

I'd give you mine if you were local.



Btw nice sig pic.

I borrowed a friend's VBOX for a day when I still had all my mods and the best I did was a 8.2. Did about 4 runs total and all right around 8.2-8.4. My first time run out was 8.4, then a 8.3, 8.3, and 8.2. I figured I should stop after that because of the heat. Did this on a closed part of the freeway in the middle of the afternoon. I got home and realized that I didn't have my SD card in it.

So.....it's an unofficial 8.2 60-130.

hpV12

Thanks anyways bro, I should look into buying one. If not maybe I can attend the no fly zone next month and someone there could let me use one.

And thanks again loving this thing whats the word on your build? Any better idea of when it will be done?

MAN55LE

what happened to your mods, why don't you have all your mods still
What mods did you have that you were able to run 8.2?

just saw this thread for some reason. weird how the internet has changed since 2013

blackbenzz

Wow what a throw back. Times have indeed changed. Within a couple years of this post I ended up running 5.2s 60-130mph in my clk55

trabots

I have for years been using a V-box to time my 100 - 200km/h (62 - 124mph) and 100 - 160km/h times (62 - 100mph) for tuning purposes and evaluating changes. My SL55 does these intervals in 7.3sec and 3.8sec and will do a 125mph trap. I care little about the ET as it is meaningless outside of actual heads up drag racing and irrelevant against awd cars. Using these intervals one can then compare to road test figures to see how your car compares. Road tests are all in kph it seems. Comparing these times along with my trap speed confirm that with a 1.5sec 60ft my car is a high 10sec 1/4 miler. The 125mph speed and 1930kg weight with driver plugged into the formula, gives 650 rwhp. One doesn't have to put extreme loads through the drive train chasing low 60 foots to get a very good idea as to how your car compares in the real world (on the street) to other cars.

SICAMG

I have gone a best of 9.59 at 148mph with an official start of 60mph.
Don't know how good that is as nothing to compare it to E55 wise.
I did race a Corvette that makes 690hp to the tires and beat him by 4-5 cars two years in a row but who knows....just comparing power.

60-130 pretty much everyday in the pandemic. But for fun, not for time.
