I am sure we will get pics soon. Veritek brought out his "other" GS, this one a Spectra blue 400. Lexism brought out his GS 430. JaimeCBR900 brought out his custom turbo GS 400 and I ran my GS 430 on, lol, SNOW tires.

We'll see if they see this thread to share times.
I ran with a loaded trunk (since I was one of the lead organizers) and my first run was 15.2 seconds.
My second run was 14.86 and I had about 5 more runs with 14.8x...

My best run was a 14.7 at 96 mph

Clearly, I always recommend TAKING IT TO THE DRAG STRIP and getting YOUR numbers and not some damn magazines.

Very happy with my baseline and I look to report improvements in spring 2007.

 

Here is our sign up sheet. I coordinated with the AMG club who was having their East Coast meet. OMG, right around 20 AMG cars, I think 6 SL 55/65 (one Kleeman), Brabus SLK 55s, a new S550, and a E63 AND CLS 63 came courtesy of AMG headquarters.

Incredible to see them race.

Wow, sounds like a GREAT DAY. And congrats on your runs Mike. On snow tires - wtf?

 

NICE... Peformance snow tires!!!

Javier

 

Nice numbers

 

I want to see burnout / warmup video at the track on the Blizzaks...LOL

 

U know I lit them up (hopes Lt. Lex isn't reading)

As soon as the pics get posted I'll post or Jaime will post em up

 

 

Great pics! Looks like there were many fast vehicles there that day.

 

Mike, why where you on snow tires?

 

an excuse for his bad 1/4 mile time?

jk jk

 

With the news scaring me everyday of Al Queda, terrorists, global warming, hurricanes, diseases, asteroids I figure I better slap on snow tires or I'll die.....

lol

I got the chrome 17's from LT. Lex who was living in Baltimore at the time, so it had snow tires. I won't have these rims on in the spring (teaser) but rather something supplied by the brand entrusted by the majority of racing teams in the world....

 

Now if that ain't a BBS hint I don't know what is! Congrats Mike! Which model and what size did you get? I am guessing 18 inches. Now tell us which model.

 

I PLEAD NOLO!!!!!

 

Is your GS430 stock? My 99 GS400 ran a best of 14.7 @ 97 at Memphis motorsports park in about 75 degree weather and high humidity (very cloudy sky we thought we'd get rained out).
My car was 100% stock power wise... just had front and rear lower chassis braces, 6-piece rear susp bracing kit, f&r strut tower bars and daizen f&r sway bars.

So basically it was stock power-wise with 70k miles and the only good the mods did for a 1/4-mile run was weigh me down.

I did run on Bridgestone Turanza LS-V allseason touring tires, though... 16" wheels.
