I took my CL600 the dragstrip for her first time ever to get some baseline runs in. I was only able to do 2 runs because it was getting crowded and my girlfriend was bored. I "feared the wall" so I refused to run in dyno mode on radials until I get some sticky tires. Since this car hits so hard down low so I launched with ESP on do get the car out of the hole, as soon as the car lurches forward I turn the ESP off to allow for a little hazing of the tires coming out of first and on the 1-2 shift, I was able to modulate this perfectly on the second run. All I can say is Im awe of my cars performance, best run of the day 11.77 @ 122.13 MPH!!! Now I need some drag radials to get my 60ft down and run this thing in pure dyno mode!

2005 CL600 AMG tuned ECU/TCU
74 degrees (felt 10 deg colder)
10-15mph wind gusts
1/2 tank pump gas 93 octane
30 psi 19" Michelin PS1's no burnout

 

Wow. That's just haulin' *** in that car. Very impressive.

 

Great runs Jason!

 

WOW. How much do you think you'll take off with tires and dyno mode?

Awesome how you can pull up to an obviously pumped Nova in your luxo-bahn-burner and give him a run.......then drive home it serious comfort.

 

Thanks guys, Im shooting for 11.40's with a drag radial to baseline before I start to tweak some things with 104 octane and maby some intake changes.

 

very nice..

 

sweet, glad you got it to the track, those are some great numbers for the first run!

 

Hauliiiiinnn'! Can't believe I said that.

Awesome performance J.

 

Awesome, V12 Twin Turbo

 

holy cow !!

How much more HP is the AMG tuned ECU supposed to bring?
Faster than E55.

 

WOW... That's REALLY fast for such a big car! Awesome time!!

 

Congrats Jason. I wanna see 11.4 at MIR next time. Cut that 60' down and you should be good!

 

i never did a stock dyno but id say over 80+whp

 

dammn very impressive!

 

E55 has a supercharged V8. This is a twin turbo V12. Yeah, it's a lil' bit faster

Nice runs!
