WOW.. 
That's awesome
I believe it, I don't think it's that far fetched.. didn't we all see a time slip of a 14.2 6-spd?? and if this dude is a really good driver, shaving 9/100ths is noting at all.....
AUTO-TRANNY!!!!!

if he ran a 14.11 more power to him, thats fuckin awesome. i'm just saying its fuckin hard to run that fast especially on stock tires dropping it from 4500.....thats a shitload of wheelspin plus there's no traction control or anything. I'm just saying why i can see it being a little far fetched. Plus the .5 second reaction time, i had a .371 reactoin time and i still ran a 14.7. I'll be going back out so i'll let you know if i get better, maybe he's jsut a nasty driver i dunno

The guy was also smart enough to run the CLS with the tank on fumes (with the exception of the 100-octane)...
IMO, it sure can help having someone who can drive, is light, and goes for every trick.
Next time someone hits the drags, grab some 100-octane and put it in a car running near dead empty... (Also, helps to become the “thinnest person on earth”)
(And so much for the 5K break-in he he he he 
)

the next time you pulled a .300 and everything else was identicle that does not mean you'll run a 13.8...it means you'll run a 14.1 and you'll have lost to whom ever you were racing because you red lighted....

I think that the 2 most important things that made this possible are:
1. The tire pressure he chose. Very smart. low for the fronts and super high for the rears so he gains as much of the rears' drag as he can.
2. The fact that he stayed on the clutch till the end of 1st gear. I think, that saved him 2-3 tents folks.

I don't think that guy DROPPED the clutch, I'm pretty sure he SLIPPED the clutch. I believe the only car he dropped the clutch on was the S2000. If I'm mistaken then I apologize in advance.
That is where most of the people here get messed up... by SLIPPING the clutch you can can control the amount of wheel spin WITHOUT bogging the engine! Which is cheaper to replace... a clutch ever 10-15k miles or your entire transmission?
TypeR:
There are SOME tracks that do use a messed up tree where a .000 is perfect reaction time. Louisiana Raceway in Eunice, LA is a perfect example of this. While I realize you are going under the assumption that all tracks either use a PRO tree or a Sportmans tree there are exceptions.
I can show you DOZENS of time slips with .2, .3 and .4 reaction times that do not have a redlight. I can also show you a few time slips that have a - time on them that ARE redlighted.

a 96 mph trap speed is very low to ET at 14.1 on street tires. Did this CL have regular street radials at the time?

Anything under .400 is a red light on a pro tree.

to put that in prospective rob.... a .000 means you could launch your car at the exact 10/1000 th of a second the first yellow came on and not red light....thats why there's no real .000 tree ...
So if someone's bragging about a .346 they really got a .846 which is nothing special.

By the way, that's an asshole comment that insinuates no one else on this board knows anything correct about drag racing.

As for my asshole comment.... yes, most people on this board don't know shit about drag racing street cars. It's just nice to see that SOMEBODY does.......

my trap speed for a 14.68 run was 97.88 mph. et was a little high because of my slow 60'. 
we'll see what happens on saturday w/ new tires and pulleys.

A slow 60' time that had lots of wheelspin will typically have a HIGHER trap speed.
A quick 60' time that had little to no wheelspin will typically have a LOWER trap speed.
Unless this guy was lieing about his Z3 run, his GS430 run AND the S2000 run, why would he bother ONLY lieing about the CL-S run?
I have VIDEO proof of a 4th Gen DX Accord running a 16.1 with footage of the engine and people STILL doubted me. I saw it 3 times with my own eyes and didn't believe either but that doesn't change that fact that it DID happen despite it defying the very laws of physics and reasoning.

BTW, his only "mod" is a cracked open air box which can see in the footage and obviously hear during his burnout. He's also on his 3rd transmission.
I swear, people see conspiracies everywhere.
