[acej]

Just a note was also great to meet acej and his stunning AMG gt, Just got to wait for the vid's to upload sorry, The sound of that thing is something else.

Great to meet you too. Had a lot of trouble getting traction off the line but very chuffed with the top speed.

Absolute machine thats a incredible Terminal,

 

[merc85]

The w116 did well i thought 15.5 @90mph dam good going, looked very tidy.

That is a great time.

That surface is slippery as fook - even on a day where it is the temperature of the sun!

If it was like the surface on a set of traffic lights on a dual carriageway not far from where I live, I reckon we'd all slash 1 second of our respective times and increase the TV probably 10mph each... :bannana:

 

[Peter DLM]

127mph? That needs a lot of HP! Where was this?

Thanks for these my launch wasn't as bad as it appeared. his lights went green a second before mine (my excuse anyway.) He was .1 quicker to a qtr but 16mph slower on that run.

To me it does look as though the strong tailwind (flags flying in video) would counteract that?

The wind was blowing from right to left most of the day. But dropped a lot by mid afternoon.

What ever the conditions it was a fun day.

Hi gav did Herishi ' s use the hold function and then press tge loud pedal or left foot brake and give it some revs and let go or just right foot on brake then onto throttle. ? Just curious as he smoked that St and looks like he could of gone faster.

 

[merc85]

Herishi, did a 15.02, 14.97, 14.88 and 14.79 all 90-95 Terminal. He just used the Hold function, Traction off produced the Best time as it was holding it back under wheel spin.

We adjusted the tyre pressures as we went because of the surface, Rears ended up being dropped to 28psi and 38psi on the front.

 

[KeithJG]

The tyre temps. are the most important as i went around a few roundabouts with the traction off to clean and heat the rears up. Pressures are std.

Being a C class and lighter the wheels spin even with traction off or on resulting in a jerk and the light flashing.

So i just use my instinct and leave the traction on and press the throttle very quickly but firmly and not just suddenly.

All the ways you would think would work...don`t with me.
