Came across this, and hadn't seen it posted here...so I figured why not.

You are correct. That does show a 10.9 for the Mercedes, when I look at it a bit closer.

Correct.
Jim's is actually the big brother engine, a 5.5L S/C V8...but others are doing 11.6-11.7 off the bottle with the V6.

I think 11.8's and 11.9's are more of the norm though. I would have been running 12.0's and 12.1's in 2k DA.

I've heard that Jim actually does have 200lbs of sand in the hatch to get it to hook.

Hat off to the cls, he is using street tires...
We can pull off 11.8 with street tires, that is good enough for me.

I thought MIMI is doing 11.5 with slicks and 11.9 with street.

His PB is a 11.7 and I don't know of anyone on here running 11's on street tires.

11.7 on drag radials in cooler weather. In the heat my best was 11.9.
