Track Video from Sunday
Here are the videos I promised. Beware, they are not dial-up friendly but came out pretty well. It took a couple of runs for my wife to get use to the camera. Also, you can hear the announcer...
The in car video which my wife rode with me. I ran a 14.5@97.
In Car
This is the 14.36@98.25 run:
Best Run
On this run with my father-in-law's SC430 I think it would have been the best run but on the 3rd to 4th shift I went into 2nd. Thankfully I never got fully out on the clutch and the revs only (only ) hit about 8k which I am sure this car can handle for a short moment. But this is the second time I have done this. I will be watching myself more closely now.
But anyway, after getting back on the clutch I went to fifth, which this was at about the 1000 foot mark, and coasted the rest of the way and still ended up with a 14.65...
Bad Shift
My first recorded run with Rick in his GS400. This was one of the first runs my wife recorded and she was figuring out the zoom on the camera:
CLS6 vs GS400 Run 1
Second recorded run with Rick, this one turn out better but he sure got the jump on me but I was able to run him down:
CLS6 vs GS400 Run 2
Here I ran against my mother-in-law but this was my last run of the day. I was way low on gas and when i went to the 2 - 3 shift the car surged and died. I assume it was due to air being picked up due to the sloshing of what little fuel was left. So I coasted the rest of the way which she caught me by the end:
Out of Gas Against my Mother-in-Law

My wife is the one you mainly hear with her mother heard in one of the clips.

iS THE 400 MODDED?
is your friend a good driver?
his 14.89 may prove that an auto cl-s stock or litely modded can hang or beat it. what was his other time, could not see it
thanks

He could drive it just fine as witness by getting a better launch than me. On that day I doubt a stock auto CL-S would have been able to break into the 14's.
I beleive the first run he netted a 14.6 to my 14.4.

I love the southern sound and to me, what was on the video is nothing. I was born in St. Charles, IL but lived in Boston and Indianapolis excluding GA. But have been in this area most of my life, since ten.
If you really want a southern accent you should come hang out with a few friends. They will certainly provide an entertaining slow southern drawl…

Raleigh is about six hours from Atlanta and about the same from Baltimore if driving at my rate. I feel it would be interesting to have an East Coast meet in this area as it would accomidate others from various regions within reach.

Nice times. Especially the trap speeds. I'm honestly very surprised you pulled out on the GS4 like that. I've seen GS4s trapping in the same region as you stock, 97-99 mph. Good runs.

But for now I need to track down some intermitant DTCs which are all random and the codes haven't repeated.
