Supercharged TL Vids
These are just some initial tests with my new camera when we were developing CAI systems for the supercharged TL (actually...as if you will soon tell...I was holding in with my hand as I had no stickipod yet nor custom mounts for the camera) and I thought people might want to hear a regular everyday takeoff from a superchared TL if they didnt already have one...sounds a bit different. This was taken when we were initially doing some testing on CAI system setups. This was not major competition takeoffs here....just a few different take offs on an undisclosed backstreet that we used for testing. I found these today as I was surfing through my PC at old media I had stored so I edited some of the BS out of it down to just some simple starts.

I can't wait to see the finished product for the s/c intake.
Your car sounds different from mine...could be the exhaust setup.

I remember seeing a thread about that. Do you have any sound clips at all?

Plus...hense the "This was not major competition takeoffs here....just a few different take offs on an undisclosed backstreet that we used ..." statement. This wasnt quarter mile track runs here....nor was it meant to be.

This kinda stuff REALLY makes me want a supercharger for my S. 
I really need to find away to eliminate the top speed limiter though if I take the supercharger dive.
I figure with the introduction of the S the aftermarket will respond with more aftermarket parts since the S is more performance based. Who knows though.

Benz do you have any pictures of your s/c CAI?
Maybe we should have an acurazine Comptech supercharger cold air intake design competition.

No offense Michael, but from the video, your car seemed very.... slow for a supercharged TL...
First clip captured 0-60 in 6.5 secs while the 2nd... over 7 secs......
mine does consistently at 5.0~5.5
in anycase good run

No seriously...those vids are just CAI test vids that much of it has been edited....not track vids. Plus...traction is a bit hard to come by my friend...when its 20 some odd degrees out and you are on snow tires...lol. Thats why they close drag speedways when it gets cold out! Otherwise...they would run all year!

they are just numbers buddy, unless you really know how to launch and drive it the way it should.... most people get well over 6 secs on the new Type S

nice videos man...i can't hear your exhaust but the whine is sweeet.
i didn't realize that there is such a big difference in gear ratio between AT and MT's.
i'm actually going to switch back to my stock tires for a while cuz i miss how fast my car was before i had 20's on.
