| Well there is a guy on here with a silver M Roadster with RMS supercharger, but I think he has a StageII if I'm not mistaken. Maybe he has upgraded? ///MRoadster is his name on here I think?

| I'm just relaying what someone else said. It seems that they are friends... BTW it has to be someone we know because there are maybe 1-2 poeple with RMS stage III on a S52 (not S50) motor. You know, the one with 6 individual throttle bodies. Charles Last edited by SC5-Charles : 12-03-2002 at 07:00 AM. |

| I know the S52. But are you sure it's a StageIII........because I'm almost positive that a couple guys have RMS StageII on their S52, but I don't anybody with a StageIII blower. That's just sick.

| He's running 13s but look at his trap speed of 111mph. He should be in the 12s |

| Just to clarify, the S52 US is the 3.2 motor from the 96-99 M3. The S54 is the only US m3 6 cylinder with individual throttles. Steve |

| i think he isnt a good driver and thats why its only a 13.0. his 60' was only a 2.1 thats not good at all for that car. and his R/T wasnt to good either. i know that doesnt tie into your time but thats just another thing that says he isnt a good driver.

| It's NOT a STOCK SLK32...those AMG's are hella fast to begin with and this guy has a renntech ECU, pulleys, etc...so he has some goodies on there. Mroadster -- well, I went with them when they ran as well, and NO, we are not good driver's. He has a STAGE III+ RMS roadster actually. Plus, he's running 19 inch tires in the rear (275's???) so, there's no flex in the sidewall. We basically took our cars there to run them AS THEY sit... the SLK is amazingly fast....!!! I think it's a superfluous statement to say, OH...bad driver. It's hard to deal with that much power -- period. ZO6's that day were also running 13's or high 12's and we know that that's driver skill as well. Dang-- you guys are a TOUGH crowd...hehe. |

| That was me. I basically suck at the drag strip. My 19" Hartge Classics weight 30lbs each. Also, I was trapping faster, so I should have probably run mid 12's. Plus, the MB has traction control and was basically just gunning it when the light went off. Finally, that was only my second time at the track. The drag strip has given me an appreciation for launching all the power, but also has frustrated me enough to say the hell with it and start road course racing, which is why the six speed is going in next year. To summarize: I suck.

 Either way ... its still a good run. BTW - re: your six speed that you are getting... i was told that the 6 speed tranny was not as strong as the ZF 5 speed ... is this true? |
