CLK55 Acceleration

OK, so I tried a 0-60 run in my car this morning with Traction OFF. Wow, my car is fast..I don't have a timer but I did count and it was 5 seconds at most. Makes a massive difference with Traction off, just need to work out how to stop the wheels spinning now...LOL

New rear tyres and 28 degrees helped yesterday

The above is quite strange... 0-100 took 12.695 seconds, 1/4 mile was 13.77 seconds at 100.74 mph. According to that it took over a second to accelerate from 100 to 100.74

Aye, you can see that's where I stopped accelerating once I hit 100 (speed rolled up to about 102) and coasted back down, passing the 1/4 mile on the way back down past 100.

Shame as if I'd known that in advance I'd have kept my foot down for a bit longer to get a proper 1/4 mile time
