Quarter mile

I did the quarter mile in my E420 '93 (cat removed) in 15,068 sec's and 98 miles end speed.

That's a great trap speed that shows you are making good power. However, that much trap speed should be translating itself into a mid 14 second quarter mile. Are you having a bit of wheelspin at the stating line?

Yes much wheelspin this run was against a 500E and we were neck and neck. Next time will be with better tires.

That's me on the left. On the right is a 500SE owned by my employer.
