Mercedes CLS at Mission
 

Not sure which CLS it was but there was one racing at Mission last night. Thing was fast and LOUD. One of the louder cars there.

I know the chances of getting any info about this car are slim but does anyone know what has been done to it?

Was it white? Was it CLS 55 AMG?

Give more of a descripton of what you saw...

I only saw it from a distance.. Not sure if its there often or not.

probably AMG model with slight tune?


those thiings are SICKKK

theres a few of us that rip it up at mission...i think i know who it maybe... he is on here.

White CLS 55 amg...

How about the fricken et mph ?

I think it's JikJak

Another member on here has a white CLS55.

i saw him last night as welll

That is one of our customers cars at Advance Motorsport. We have done all the mechanical work on this car. Last night the car was able to do 11.85 in the 1/4 mile with slicks. Due to the dew point being so high we were only able to get a few runs in before they closed early. We were able to pull of a decent launch with the 11.85 run. We just recently upgraded the car to a new larger pulley and put in a custom heat exchanger to help the car breathe better. It was ran un-tuned on friday night and he put down a time of high 11's. The problem we first had was traction, even with racing slicks we still had traction problems. We are just fine tuning the launch and we hope to be in the mid to low 11's. We are flying up a tuner tomorrow to help with some of the tuning issues and we will be back at the drag strip next week hopefully the weather holds up for us! This car is running in the ~600 crank hp area. We hope to be bumping up that HP soon enough! Hope to see you guys in mission!

that you tube vid was from last month and on street tires.
a couple weeks ago i ran 12.073@120.11mph but with a 1.955 60'.
i sure wish more euros would show up at mission!

last night i was able to run an 11.853@115.96mph. i was using pump gas but i did buy a jug of race gas so that i can get a race gas tune made. i had a pretty decent launch with a 1.803 60' time. ( i think my car was pulling timing though as my trap speed was quite low, (i usually trap at around 120mph) this is due to the larger pulley that was recently installed. i wanted to run my previous pulley but i had to have this one installed as the guys from Powerchip are flying in tomorrow and ill have a custom dyno tune done on monday, they are going to flash my truck as well! ill definitely do more runs after that. if anyone wants a powerchip flash let me or andy know as they will be doing some flashes at advance on tuesday.

anyways i do want to thank the guys at advance for their great work, especially the custom fabrications they do. they make my car faster each time i go to the strip!

I wish I saw more cars like yours down there.

Your trap speed will also be lower when hooking up better off the line. I was trapping 117 on street tires, and running quicker times and trapping 112.

The white CLS lost to a early '90s Talon that did 11.6X.

Sweet ass car to take to the track! Good luck with your times.

I don't get what your point is? Are you saying the CLS time is slow?

If so, there are alot of dedicated drag cars that can beat that time, just depends how much you want to spend on the car, how much traction you can get and how much power you can get out of the engine. Keep in mind that time in a CLS55 with full interior is ultra quick, you have to compare apples to apples not apples to oranges.

Stock CLS does high 12's to low 13's

lol. Can you tell me how much that guy in the talon spent to run 11's? He obviously has more mods than the CLS.


and congrats to CLS, my friends told me there was a white one who ran 11's. hahah nice

ya that happens often, but even on the other runs where i spun the tires a bit, i still trapped around 115mph, but previously i trapped around 119-120mph. i think the ecu is pulling timing due to the new mods. my custom tune is going down later on today! hope it fixes everything.

i ran a 12.5 against the talon, but i was able to run an 11.8 a couple runs runs later. that was one fast talon though! he had a sick trap speed. i think it was around 130mph. i think that talon can get into the 10s if he got a good launch.

thanks!
i hope to get into the low 11s next time.

i also hope that more euros show up to these drag nights.
im going to try to make it again this friday.

Was it the black one?

If it was he was having problems getting off the line. If he could get the launch down that thing would be hella quick.
