I am curious of something. Why have I only seen one timeslip from a Kleemann car on this site?

I know they have to be fast, so why doesn't someone post times.

I do not care if I see the time slip, because that does not make it more believable to me.

Jame55, what does your car run?

I do not understand why there are so few non-211 cars with times posted.

I posted my times and I was disappointed with them!

Please, can someone back up they claims on this site. (non-211's)

Are you only referring to non W211's with a Kleemann supercharger?

Yes. I just find it strange that when I ask most people that upgraded to the Renntech or Kleemann supercharger, they say they did not do it for 1/4 mile times.


The one car I know if that gave times was a CLK55 from Georgia that went 12.4's with other work done.

Sajecw,
I assume you are not referring to 211 E55. I posted the actual pictures and times for four of my 1/4 runs. You get a picture of the car with the numbers on it and the slip with the matching numbers.

Yes I think it makes it more believable.

I am not referring to the 211.

All I am saying is that unless there is a photo of the car at the finish line with the time, like Bergwerks has, it can be anyones time slip.

I heard of all these Maximas and 350Z's pulling mid to high 13's and when I went to the track, the fastest guy pulled a 14.1.

These were the same characters that were claiming the times with slips.

I think that most people lie about the cars. How many times have you heard of someone with a 12.1 Z06 and when it is at the track it pulls a 12.7. Or the phantom 11 second Viper.

My real point was that there are so many Kleemann cars out there and only Bergwerks has posted times.

I am not referring to the 211. I saw them run 12.6's hot lapping a stock car. I am sure 12.1's are easily attainable with mods. They would not let the car on the track without a rollcage under 12.0 here, btw.

I want a Kleemann but doubt I would ever take it to the dragstrip. I would not need timeslips and mabye Jam and others are more interested in blowing doors off or the orgasm of the power rush and the supercharger whine.

It is reported from a highly reliable source that Jam gave up the ladies to get a Kleemann and has been found on top of the engine with his pants down.

What is the Drive Train loss? 15 or 18%. 18% would be 355hp. Dead on.
