Cool video. Is there anyway you can post a lower resolution version of that video? My PC chokes and plays it back like a slide show.

Thanks. His nitrous reeled you in, but you definately got him on the tree. Did you happen to get that same Mustang racing the orange Mustang on tape?

i talked to the owner of the lx and he ran an 11.90@116.? on the last run.he had been runnin 113mph and then checked his timing and it was way off.he set it to 10 initial and then ran the 116.? mph.the 11.30 pass was with the retarded timing also.he is going to go back to the dyno and make sure a/f is fine and go back to the track soon.

Does anyone know the Benz has any mods or just the optional 495hp 595ft-lb twin turbo charged V-12?

I think Ben said he has a chip. Raised the boost somehow and he runs DR's. Freaking fast car Ben!

Sorry... Ben already has two kids.... But i'm his adopted third kid.... lol.. Whats up Ben, i was talking to you at Sac near the starting line... You probably dont remember me, my name is Justin. Good job at the track.... If you ever need a worker, just let me know....

and to 50DADDY: Why must you be so jealous? If you would have ever talked to Ben you would not have said what you just said.... Just congraulate him, he deserves it... I just wish that when i'm his age i will have what he has.. I dont know if i can go without a vacation that long though ben

They cost between 130-140k for the S600 and the twin turbo V12 isnt an option, its the engine that those come with. The only real upgrade that I know of is to get Renntech parts for them or just get the S55 AMG.

Treynor is one of the most respected racers on this site and I bet you couldn't get his reaction times if you prayed for them 50daddy. That was sick finally sw you get ran down for once in stead of it being the other way around
