Like a true gentlemen. Well said RBJ! I can see your car in the 9s also… 10.2 on stock internals is flying.

Btw are you running a 3k stall torque converter for higher launch?

Well, unless he went to MIR... because that track runs downhill with a tail wind

Blackbenz this is a clk55 you have? How do they compare on weight to the E?
RBJ is still the quickest/fastest E55. The only person I took the 55 record from was myself from a year ago when I ran 10.09. Me and RBJ are friends and I wish nothing but the best for him and his family. Matter of fact I let him use my wheels and tires when he ran the 10.2! His car is flying and we are just seeing the beginning of the turbo setup. Being a pioneer like RBJ takes alot of hard work and patience to work out all the kinks. Being the first is always the hardest. I can't wait until he starts turning it up and runs crazy times I will be extremely happy for him as he deserves it.

Yes it is a W208 CLK55 ricer hoopty edition. It is definitely lighter than a E55

I didn't take the title form him for fastest 55. I had that title for the longest time. He is still the current reigning champ for the E55 for both quickest and fastest!

Yea he will be in the 9s, just a matter of time.

It's invisible. The car hasn't seen a dyno besides the 1320' dyno and that info is posted. I'm not into dyno queen numbers. It will only see a dyno when I want to fine tune the car.

Lol yea exactly. It traps 143 I know it's making power. I don't need an inflated dyno number to boost my ego.

I knew you would get it

I did use my vbox to see if it goes downhill. Nope, the start line is actually lower than the finish. Not by much but still. But everyone knows MIR knocks 0.5 seconds off the time! MIRacle track!

60-130mph in 5.65 seconds

Those are not all on the same pass. And before it starts... No nitrous. This was just the first day of tuning/testing. DA was approximately +350 feet

Insane! That's haulin' ***! Sweet man!

Thanks!

I'm now running the UPD 3000 stall, 306 gears, and smaller back housings for quicker spool. I didn't have either when I ran 10.2. And I'm now building a custom intake. Should be able to pull a 1.5x 60ft. with stock internals and trans.

And........ Stock fuel rail with EC 550 injectors

Friend sent a vid of my car. I think I found the traction problem. Look at the left rear wheel going down the track. Some of the tire isn't even contacting the ground! No wonder it was all over the place. Alignment time.

Yea for sure!

Thanks. I can't take credit for the vid. That would be Chris with a near 9 second CTSV with 19" wheels and no nitrous!
