Talking Low 10's

10.36 @ 133.5!! That is FAST for an E55. 60-130 is 7.14.

I finally got into the low 10's in my 2005 E55. Cutt's old car for those keeping track. I have spent 3 years building this car, reinforcing everything, and doing all the supporting mods. Last year was finally time to build the engine & trans now that everything else was reinforced. It was about 4200 lbs with me in it (this is a Pano E55 & is fully optioned). The car weighs 4,080 without me in it. Stall was 1,000. DA was -573 at 54 degrees. I am using CLK320 wheels on the rear and spares in the front. Tires are Hoosier DR2's with MT ET Fronts on the front.

Still tuned by Jerry @ Eurocharged. Thank you Jerry, Cnterline, and Cutt for helping me get here!! More to come. I am testing her this Saturday, trying for 10.2x. Then I will convert to E85, pulley down some more, and go for 9's this fall. If I get the E85 conversion done before it gets warm up north, I may have to travel to a track up north to try for 9's before summer.

Here are my timeslip & Dragy slip (1/4 mile & 60-130):

Very nice! That is definitely cooking for a full weight daily driver!

I'll be shooting for the single digits in my CLK this spring as soon as I get the engine together. Can't wait to join that 9-sec. club.

Getting close, Crystal! Once you get there, you need to pull that bullet out of that car, and put it in a Crossfire - 8's!!!

Just "a" SRT-6? No, they have quite the collection, and can surely spare one to put this beast into!

Swapping in would instantly shed almost 1000#. If 100# is worth 2 tenths in the 60'....

Thank you Joe! I really appreciate the nice words. Yeah your CLK is gonna be a beast when it is finished! I can't wait to see it in the 9's.

Yep, getting there! I am seriously thinking about, after this weekend, installing the new fuel pumps. Then install the E85 flex fuel kit, retune it. Then drive to MIR for Ahmad's annual track rental in March.

Crossed my mind many times. But will be hard to get traction in a Crossfire I think due to how small the rear of the car is. I don't think anyone is even in the low 10's yet.

Yep! And I just broke the rear-end. Have to fix it and install an LSD while I am at it.

You know it works! I have a rear end solution rapidly coming into place.

I hit 134mph today! Still 10.36. I think that is all she has in here until I upgrade my pumps.
