- Today we found out what the 0-60mph is on the CLK 500 with my Dragy I was really impressed with the results even tho we couldn't get full traction. I gotta say RaceIQ Performance ECU and TCU tunes are no joke!!

Bro, your issue isn’t your tire size. There’s a few things wrong with your setup for 0-60 runs. First off don’t cheap out on tires, get a good sticky tire. No matter how wide the tire may be if the compound isn’t sticky you’re gonna spin regardless. I recommend ps4s or conti extremecontactsport 02 or something similar. Second your sidewall is a 40 series, you’re losing speed and torque with a taller sidewall. You need to run a similar height to the original sizes. You can run a 255/35 or a 285/30 if you really want to go up in width that keeps it within the same tire height. Idk where people get the idea that a taller sidewall will mean better traction. Just trying to help man.
I know right… It’s now fast enough for ps4s or continental extreme contact sport 02. Lol But I love my setup with the 40 profiles with the idea to protect my wheels. Idk either why people think taller sidewall mean better reaction. I did that again to protect my wheels. 255/35 is better from what you said but wrong on 285/30 on a 500. Makes sense on a E55.
Nice vid bro! Been following for a while and love your content. My 209 clk55 stock does 4.6 still, holding up well at 159k miles. I took good care of it as a Mercedes-Benz tech, still have plans on modding it, just slowly.
Your clk55 runs a 4.6 stock???
@@HeyboysGarage yeah, does 303whp. It does have a res delete and a magna flow muffler, but I’m looking to go quad with the original mufflers and long tubes, no second cats only primary.
@@alanmotran426 keep in mind there is no point to go Longtube headers and still keep the primary cats
@@HeyboysGarage yeah i meant to say i only have primary cats, but planning to go long tubes down the road.
@@alanmotran426 long tubes makes a big difference with power! It will be a good investment
Next time doing draggy, hit the gas pedal and brake pedal at the same time, just little before it breaks traction. This happens about 2000-3000rpm. Realese the brake pedal and you'll get minimum slippage! ESP off via dyno mode. ;-) It's gonna work like it's launch control. Best luck! Hope I see the results on your next one!
I’m gonna have to try that and see the results
Well impressive, you probably do not know me but ive been watching I think for over a year (giving those memories back)
You are an OG! Thanks for sticking with the channel, it should does bring memories
Bro you look like you can be Carlton son off fresh prince of Bel-Air 😂😆😂
😂😂🤘🏾
I use to own a clk500 back in the late 2000s and I loved that car. I was like 22 years old and loved looking rich lol However, my wrangler 4xe is faster to 60 than it was. Cars have came a long way.
That’s pretty awesome owning this around that time at your age, that’s petty cool. I assume you have a hemi in that Jeep?
Yeah spinning will get you, my stock CL 500 actually ran a 4.9 0-60. Gotta repair some stuff before I will be able to get that low again but as of now I’m running pretty often 5.4’s or less. Power steering is going out and oil leak and I believe I might have a vacuum leak to
We’re you using the draggy device to track that 4.9 0-60?? 😮. Vacuum leak can slow it down and cause problems. Do you know we’re the leak is?
@@HeyboysGarage currently I havnt diagnosed the vacuum leak as I’m busy with school and work but when I have the time I’m gonna test it for sure and see, and I used my OBDll scanner which is pretty accurate and I didn’t spin it hooked and booked so I’m hoping to do it again and make sure I record it/ document it (also I’ve been keeping up with your build for a min and love the build so far, I think that CLK should definitely hit mid 4’s with a really thick and grippy tire set up because your pretty lighter than me and you have bolt ones/ tuned
Keep doing what your doing bro! enjoying the content! just got a 2004 CLK convertible as well, in a super bad shape, I'm in Canada, the car originally came from Florida and whoever owned it before didn't know much about anything and kinda neglected the car, roof isn't working and motor mounts need changing , 2 bolts in the rear tires broke off inside the socket , needs to be extracted... haha took the car for 2k Canadian, which is like 1500 usd lol .. but in general the car drives amazing.. aside from the vibration from motor mounts.. I luckily found a CLK 2005 in a scrap yard next to me, with mint interior and all other things ... stripped it out, and now im giving this car a new life hahah... gonna be my project car for the winter. so anyways saw your vids and a lot of good info! thanks !! keep it up!
Dude comments like these are the best! Love that you found the channel and enjoy the content! Once you get yours all situated you will love the car a lot! But that’s a great price! Always the best when you find cars like that with that price range and not too much to do to get it looking good again
@@HeyboysGarage haha ya man honestly growing up this car and the SL, both I used to drool over.... Like I wanted to own one so baaad, I think both those cars are 2 of the best cars mercedes ever built, and i love what you did to yours, it looks and sounds amazing! I cannot believe I was able to get it for that price, I think those cars with this amazing V8 should be minimum 20 or 30 grand 10 or 15 in bad shape... But O well i Wont complain, im so happy I was able to find one! Anyways cheers bro and will be waiting for new vids!!
haha this is almost the same situation as me. Is your car still alive?
Sweet! Ever thought of adding a bodykit to it?
Also can I get a link to your rear spoiler and grille if you still have it
Yeah I still have it. Body kit for probably $10k? Not worth it
@@HeyboysGarage lol i meant can get a link so I can buy the same spoiler and grille.
I recommend lowering tire pressure, putting it into manual mode and shifting yourself but also at the launch load your tq converter while on the brakes and then release aka, on the brakes and on the gas the same time, but not enough to do a burn out. You can also try not to go full throttle with the launch.
I’m gonna try the manual launch in dyno mode and see if we make any progress
@@HeyboysGarage I wouldn't go into dyno mode to do this since it turns off power steering for some reason, aka you can ruin your pump if you drive in dyno mode. Speaking from experience. Put it in M mode, you shoukd have that since you have raciq tune and just load up the verter from a stop
I would be pleased with a 5.2 !!! Thank You for sharing.
A 5.2 for a convertible that’s pretty good! I can get it down to a 4.9 with a few more mods
if you want it to launch harder get pedal commander its 5x faster take off its gonna take some getting used to thats how crazy it takes off
Pedal commander is that the same as Sprint booster? I haven’t heard of Pedal commander
Once it's tuned, doesn't matter
Basically same as a stock clk500 with dyno mode on well done lmao
Really?? I didn’t know that, that’s crazy 😱
Hey, I mention doing a program upgrade on this trans before, but the upgrade was mechanical. Did you mechanically upgrade the trans program also?
No just a software tune
Haye bud, can you share with me the ride height of your CLK please. If you could kindly measure from the center of the wheel to the bottom of the fender for front and back. Really appreciate it.
Yeah I can do that once I’m home
@@HeyboysGarage appreciate that buddy, will make my life easier.
@@HeyboysGarage please let me know when you get a chance to measure 🙏🏾
@@Abdursheikhdxb front: 13inches Back: 12.5 inches
@@HeyboysGarage perfect, much appreciated buddy. means a lot to me.
You need to get yourself new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires and that should get you there to 5.0 seconds
Some expensive Michelin Pilot super sports!
Thats really good for a 5spd.. i wondering what i can do to my 05 sl500 7spd auto but same motor and it weighs like 4000lbs what can realistically get out of it for stock 0-60 what did you do to your m113 v8 5.0 that i have and i wonder if anything can be done to the 7spd or it doesn't need any? Idk but i do inow the 7spd shift way faster also i have a throttle commander on it
The 7 speed does shift fast, but the tune on the 5speed is as fast as the stock 7 speed. I heard there are tunes out there for the 7 speed just don't know who has them!
Question, my clk 500 2002 has slipping gearbox and definetly need to be changed but I cannot find gearboxes for this model.. would the cl500 ones be a straight swap, no coding?
Have you put it on re-learn mode before hand? Or use any additive to stop the slipping? If you are for sure it needs a new transmission The cl500 will be a straight swap as long as it’s a 5 speed. You most likely will just need to reprogram the TCU module
@@HeyboysGarage I have tried it all at this point, reset many times. Checked solenoids, they work. Speed sensors work and show differences in rpms between sensor 1 and 2 on 2nd gear. Slips out of gear.. harsh neutral to drive (like you dropping clutch in manual on high rpms)
@@thepio14343SWEG Gotcha! yeah then the clutch is done, thats what the problem is. which gear does it slip in? or is it all the gears?
@@HeyboysGarage Thanks for confirming.. 3rd & 2nd
@@thepio14343SWEG 2nd to 3rd. Clutch is worn out. I’m assuming it slips when driving more spirited and doesn’t really when normal city driving?
did they make a clk500 amg in 2005?
Nahhh just the CLK55 or CLK63 were the only AMG’s
How does one change the mirror blinker passenger side for a clk500 2004 I’ve looked everywhere for a video but there’s none
What's wrong with yours?
@@HeyboysGarage so the blinker works and everything but now I’m getting a malfunction notice on the cluster for the blinker, I’ve bought a new one and tried to replace it but I can’t seem to figure it out Smhhh I need help also my passenger seat control module needs to get replaced but since Mercedes doesn’t make anything simple I can’t figure it out too
We need kaffie lsd’s for the rear diff for our clk500’s
Why is that?
@@HeyboysGarage our cars are not lsd it’s only the right rear well that drives mostly
Hey got myself a chance to pick one of these up with a hardtop and sunroof rather than convertible. How reliable are these at about 120k miles? Is there anything specific I should look for and avoid on the car?
Nice on the hard tops! They are faster. Reliability that are a tank!! 120k hasn't been broken in yet. To be honest there is nothing really to look out for on these because they are so reliable and build to take a beating both engine and transmission. Just keep up on maintenance and you wont have to worry about anything. Good find! You will love the car
@@HeyboysGarage Nice I appreciate the advice and reassurance. I'm a mechanic and will be buying it from my bosses wife so It thankfully has been well maintained except for sitting for the last year having only been driven around the parkinglot.
Run 265s on the rear
Yeah that’s what I’m thinking about doing in next tire maintenance
@@HeyboysGarage I recommend some firehawk daytona 500s in 265s 👁👁
Whoa ! Man if you could hook her you'd be rolling. Love it !!! She's fast 👍😊
Yeah if I could hook it will be quick! Not sure what’s considered fast vs quick tho!
@@HeyboysGarage you've got the best of both cause she's definitely quick but also fast. Trying real hard to leave mine alone but when I watch your videos I get the itch !
@@Hemi_all_day I can’t disagree with that 🤘🏾
Have you ever thought of getting a quad exhuast system?
I have and it won’t work for the convertibles only in the coupes. Because of the extra underlaying
@@HeyboysGarage if I wanted to do a quad conversion, would I need an x pipe and additional piping, or would an autoshop provide it?
@@marcxx8697 an exhaust shop will be able to provide but probably cheaper to buy yours and bring it in
& always drive it in S not C button next to shifter
It hooked better in C, but I always drive in S. Next time I do this video again. Will try in S
Bro i run 275/30/19 on the Rear
I plan on running 265/40/18 next to have full grip. Or maybe 275/40/18
@@HeyboysGarage 275 for grip and comfort is Perfect but depends on the offset to make it fit. 45 + 5 Spacer for close to rub fit
@@Mevax currently have a 35+ offset and a 20mm spacer no rubbing. I would need to reduce the spacers on the rear to run a 275/40/18 on the back
@@Mevax Amg monoblocks can run 285's ask me how I know😊
Bro put her in sport when your doing that it’ll prolli hook better and keep traction see what time difference you get
I tried that and it’s span more because in sport mode in first has a lot of torque and power from the TCU tune. I believe I just need wider tires for grip
@@HeyboysGarage true shit I spin out everyday leaving my driveway & I have a 320 so Back tires prolli would be better
Is this a 5.5L with 7G trans?
5.0L with 5G transmission
4.8 sec
most likely on a drag strip but do able on the street also
