Ran my friends clk500 tonight which is completely stock, actually a pretty quick car, almost keeps up with my dads slk55amg from a roll. Anyways we did several races, first from a roll at about 50mph, I was in 2nd gear, let him get the jump, he jumped out a car or so, so I floored it, came even top of second, shifted into 3rd, walked away, had maybe 4 cars on him by the top of third and then shifted to fourth for maybe 2 seconds and couldn't really count how many lengths I put on him.
We did this 2 more times with the same result. Next race was from a dig (just got my nitto 315 DR's installed) so this is my first time launching on these tires and only 3rd time ever trying to launch the car period. I hit it pretty well and pulled an instant 2 cars on him, short shifted into second and pulled for another second and shut it down a good distance in front of him.
I know it's not much of a race, but it's nice to see what this can do! He has raced a few E46 M3's, new 335's, new edge cobra, friends cl-s I talked about in another thread, and always gets them off the jump and will keep pulling. He said this was the first time he has ever gotten such a beating haha. He was talking about trading his mercedes in for a cobra.
By the way I know these tires aren't the best by any means, but god they hook wonderfully on the street with my power level, I can slam it in 1st gear at any rpm and it will just hook.
