hey Richi,
i am dropping the car off tonight and picking up at some point tomorrow. so our cars may meet but i may not be there at the same time as you. funny i got a ton Of Pms telling me that my prices on items were too high due to your “firesale” but it all worked out.
we picked a good day to get our snowshoes haha
I was not a fan of MB for quite a while - really hated the front ends, but I have to admit I’m a fan of this body styling. That is really beautiful. Grats on a very nice car.
had a lot of parts to move. had to break everyone elses legs to make sure i got rid of it all haha. i was there all day and because of you i had to get my car tinted too lol. i went in for snow tires and left with a tune, tint, lowered and snow tired up haha
Hey guys! We got a few weeks of early spring out here in the East coast. Last minute decided to head out and try the new car and see what it could do. long story short i miss Quattro and the instant launch
hope its cool i post this link but here is my thread over on MB world. its kind of dead over there so miss the discussion over here. still keeping an eye out on here for sure. http://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-c63s-amg-w205/616023-hello-intro.html
anyway here is my best time which was equal to my average in the S4.
60’ 330’ 1/8th MPH 1000’ quarter MPH
2.126 5.478 8.088 96.58 10.325 12.203 121.960
I did 3 runs and this was the best. this was using the PT mash and go method all the others were race start AKA burn out mode lol
I did have another run that trapped 123.32. i am going to post more in my MB world thread soon. hopefully going to Etown in the next few weeks with fireball(s5 mentioned above) and my buddy in his S3 so i need to learn RWD techniques asap.
Nice! Yeah, RWD is much different launch wise and takes some time to get good at… I used to cut 1.6-1.7’s in my 540RWHP mustang gt on drag radials… I assume your car has some helpers to ensure better launches are you leaving them on or turning them off? Car may launch better with them on? MPH is very nice… All I can say is practice practice practice… Love the car by the way…
I’m guessing the MPH could be reflective of the poor 60’ and a lot of wheel spin I researched and priced one in December and found they’re typically underrated by about 20-40 hp, probably pushing something close to 530-540 bhp. Wicked fast nonetheless!
so i watched the video of dyno mode and tried to see if i can access it this morning. it works with pulling both paddles back. I didn’t turn it on but cool to know its there(maybe some fun in my work lot). love that there was no mention of this in the MB forums and found out in 4 hours over here lol. Thanks JSPAZZ
This car really shines roll racing. I was leaving cars and coffee and had a run in with a buddy in aventador and the results were not disappointing for me.
with a tune and some decent tires looks like people are getting into the low 11s. Actually some guy ran 11.01 at atco with a $900 piggyback,filters, and race fuel(not sure on tires). There is certainly some potential without bigger turbos.
I work at an MB Dealer now and these cars are completely nuts. Basically an AMG-GT with 5 seats.
It is alabama production for North America destined vehicles. There is also a German C Class production. Also the coupe will be German built for North America.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see an AWD option fitted to these cars in the near future as there are hints being dropped constantly about a GLC 63.
I had a customer trade in their RS5 for the new C63S and he loves it.
