I think with less wheel spin an 11.9 is doable.

You can also play around with short shifting at about 6200 after 2nd gear as others have recommended.

You're a champ. Thanks!!!
Don't think there is anything to gain by shifting at 6200rpm. It still develops more torque at the wheels than it will in the higher gear at that rpm. I believe that for the S55 it's just over/around 7000rpm in most gears that will give the best Acceleration in most gears.

191,5km/h is 119MPH BTW
