Got to take the CL down the 1/4! Friday night I got away from work early enough to hit up the local 1/4 miles track. It's not the greatest, but it beats nothing. So anyway, the CL600 is completely stock (minus window tint) and the best time of the night was 12.87 @ 107 mph. I was really having issues with the launch...because I am on true street tires, and the track prep isn't so great, anything over 1900 rpm at the launch and I was up in smoke.
Got a video too, my camera man didn't do a great job, but enjoy it anyway! It's me in the near lane vs a CTS-V in the far lane. It's kinda funny, a CTS-V was the main car I was looking at before I wound up with the Benz, so I'm glad I got to run one! I did notice later that this V has what sounds like a rod knock...so I'd still like to run against a healthy one.

Sorry? The black car wins!
Seriously, though, I clicked it and put it in full screen. It's not great, but you can at least figure out what's going on.
Here's the timeslip for the race in the video...
48 = CL600
50 = CTS-V
