Run What Ya Brung - Santa Pod

[F1BHP]

230k would be somewhere between 14-15 seconds but I have not seen one run.

Also - grip was a nightmare so the time wouldn't be what you'd normally expect.

Probably a Santa Pod run would be more telling.

I would imagine a 230k wouldn't struggle too hard with grip at the strip, even on a quite cold day. It is torquey for what it is, but I don't think the times would be too far off. It might actually put down some better times on a cold day, due to less heat soak. These kompressors don't like heat much. My car is an absolute pig during these hot summer days (here, at least, we get 35-37 degrees Celsius).

Anyway, 14 sec would be a very optimistic result, since the w208 55 AMG takes 13.8 (or that's what most websites quote for it). I'd expect the 230k to be somewhere between very high 14's and low 15's.

Yes agreed, closer to 15 than 14
