Beast C55 W202 runs low 13's at E-Town

**coolcarlskic43** · 09-22-2005, 05:48 AM

Went to E-town last night with a whole lot of friends.

I was pretty anxious because I was not sure how well she'd run(C55). I did two runs which I will post the time slips later on this evening.

1st run was my best run car went 13.3 @ 102mph.Car in the other lane ran a 12.9(911 Carrera S) but he redlighted.

2nd run ran a 13.6 @ either 105 or 106mph.This run was against a Jaguar XJ-R who ran the same time as well but he still lost because my ET was still lower. More details of launch technique and car setup after I post slips.

These times showed me that the Conversion 4.3L to 5.5L was definitely worth it's WEIGHT in gold!

Chappy these slips are so light that when I scan them they hardly come out.I'm going to try and make a copy on my copier and see if I can scan the copy.By the way,here are my results:All runs were done on pump gas!:

1st run

RT ..... .500
60' ......2.041
330.....5.684
1/8....8.682
mph...... 82.57
1000... 11.242
1/4...13.398
mph...102.52

2nd run

RT ..... . .161
60' ...... 2.174
330 ...... 5.860
1/8 ...... 8.881
mph...... 82.05
1000 11.453
1/4... 13.614
mph... 103.46

1st run was in D3-D4 shift
2nd run was D4 all the way.
Traction control was off on both runs.
Not bad for the first time ever taking this car too the track.

13.3 is a good number!!! im guessing the 2005 C55s run simular? I wonder what makes the SLK55 run a 12.8.. im sure the slk55 weighs as much as a C class.. I think around 3200-3400lbs. I wonder if the 7spd makes a difference.

i would have loved to see the 202 run in englishtown

Nope,C55 W203 is 100-150 lbs heavier than my car.Might be close but I'll beat him.I'm almost definitely sure I can match the times of an SLK with a proper launch!

you going to e-town Oct 9th? ...and to the meet the 8th? I'm definitely going the 8th, and will probably go to the track the 9th.

**Under Pressure** · 09-22-2005, 05:49 PM

daymmm ... 13.3 is good for any car, but is great for a W202. Nice numbers.

Steve i'll definitely be in DR that wknd.You're car should probably run better than mine.

**Under Pressure** · 09-22-2005, 06:22 PM

If you guys are drag racing, you should do N2O to hold you over until you decide on a turbo or supercahrger system. Should get you in the 12's. DAMN. Plus you can usually get most of what you need used for cheap. Just to play around with until you have constant forced induction. 13.3... thats awesome.

Thanx! I also feel that I can possibly get high 12's on a 1.7-1.9 launch without N2O.

well the c55 weighs 3700lbs.. and the slk55 weighs in at 3400lbs. enless u plan on doin a 7g swap.. I dont think you will be seeing 12's..

**coolcarlskic43** · 09-23-2005, 03:08 AM

Why would you think the 7 spd would have anything to do with my 1/4 mile times?

Donnie Drummond is doing 11.5sec with the same gearing (5spd)S/C 5.5L motor.Oh and guess what? He tried to tell me that he was the only one who could get my C43 ECU to think it was a E55.HE WAS WRNG!

Please don't think and Don't hate bro!You sound like a hater..Funny thing is a couple of you guys never thought the engine swap could be done.

You need to chk your info because the C55 W203 does'nt weigh 3700lbs.:bunny:

You obviously don't know what you're talking about!

And for all I know YOU probably never got your SLK in the 12's.Show some#'s and some proof and then come talk to me!Come on here and make some sense......Thanx for the inspiration mate!!

**coolcarlskic43** · 09-23-2005, 03:14 AM

Haters never win! They also lack knowledge and everthing's based on assumption!

**aruba** · 09-23-2005, 08:31 AM

ooohhhhhhhh but hey, what would the world be without the haters

pretty cool numbers nice job men keep it up!!!!

im not haten.. I was impressed to see your car ran 13.3.. im just givin a simple fact your w202c55 aint seein 12s... just think of it my way of motivating you to go back to the track and prove me wrong.

about the slk55.. people at benzworld run 12.5s all day on a stock slk55s.. so dont doubt my 12.8.. everyone knows all the new mercedes with all its electronics will run consistant 1\4s all day

**mayagman** · 09-23-2005, 11:24 AM

This thread has turned me off to the 202s -.-
Can't get the numbers I want out of em even with ridiculous work.
Guess it's time for the inevitable step up to S4 land.

the 12.5s all day is news to me... can't argue with the new electronics though. IMO. the updated traction systems are a HUGE improvement. i think the lack of traction is the #1 thing holding back the older NA 55s (CLK55/E55) from better times. Once the ASR kicks in, there a significant bog.

though... take the guy who did our engine swaps. He built a motor (correct me where I'm wrong Carl) using a 2.8L block, increased displacement to 3.5L , used C36 heads (modified no doubt), a turbo, cam with profile made for turbos ... you're gunna get incredible performance out of it.

...at least if you say "ridiculous work", that's what I think. And I wouldn't want to run my car against his if there was big money on it.

well my 12.5 souce isnt reliable.. it was just someones word at benzworld.org.. OK OK OK.... let me retract my statement to 12.7-12.8.. STILL!! I dont see this c55 202 in its current stat breakin into the 12's.. that would be bad ass if I was wrong tho..

aintMe... what s4 are you thinkin about.. the new v8s or the older twin turbo..

btw.. u dont have to do a c55 convert to get power.. im sure their is plenty of power to be made from the 2.3 and 2.8 engines for less $$

**Ashkan's C280** · 09-23-2005, 12:06 PM

would adding evo pullies, kleeman headers, and e fans get into 12.9-13? or would more bolt ons be needed

I dont know how good the AMG engines already flow... but I would say mid or low 12s with those mods!

im only saying that because with chevy and ford v8s.. will run hella faster quarters with the same mods
