So the 35is should trap lower than 13.4s. I noticed in your OP you mentioned the 35is has pulled 12.9s in the 1/4 mile. Where have you seen this info?

There shouldnt be much in it at all, did the 35is driver use launch control? How much fuel was in each car, any additional passengers?

I would expect a 35is with a role to achieve better times -this could be down to the driver factor.

However, the biggest issues should have been removed - that they were not stationary. So it more about the car and not the driver.

As a comparison, my best personal time in a 2ltr is 13.5secs. However, I had a stationary start.

TBH - that is my strength - as from a rolling start an 35is will absolutely innaliate me.

Below is an video of me vrs v8

On paper an e92 m3 should kill my 2ltr - but he got to much power down to quick. Launch can win or lose an drag race.

I have had a mapped 35is and now have a mapped C63...

I can safely say the C63 will destroy the 35is on a roll,as has been said getting the C63 off the line smoothly without lighting up the tyres is the hard thing...

We are still talking about the old 55 here though, not the newer car. How would the NA SLK55AMG stand up is the question. :wink:

Well if a 35is is doing a 13.4 from rolling start, I would welcome a face off - to see how much a 35is will beat me by?

:poke: 35is & 35i owners :fuelfire: :rofl:
