As the title says anyone going fast at the track?? I check back in time to time and see zero talks about it??

jrcart

You ever see an M156 smoke the tires an entire 1/8th mile?

I will have the CLK out at MIR next month

I am Jeff

Is that a promise? I'l make the drive from NYC to see that if that's the case.

jrcart

I just got a full cage and chute installed just for the occasion.

Was that your clk? That thing was spinning all over jesus.

dodger very few racers left. Just a bunch of carbon fiber guys rollin on 20s now.

Sincity

Whoa!

Dads C63

Is this the Nov. 16th event?
I will bring the R8 up and run with you if thats the event?
Its a mid 11 second car but still fun.

Very few actual racers that I see. Not sure if people are moving on to other platforms or what?
I only moved to the R8 because I spent four years building my last C63 and I wasn't going through that again. Otherwise, these are very fun cars to race so I'm not sure why things are quiet.

I'm still at the track every few weekends, won't be setting records in 3500 DA though..

There is a track that's at sea level 12 hrs away in Mission BC, I may hit it up next season.

dodger63

Cool shoot me a text if your making it I'll drive down to see that..

The legend you could walk down the track and be fast

604 C63

Let me know if you are going. Thats local for several of us as its only an hour from Vancouver. Vancouver has one C63 for every 6.3 people here.
Ill bring a bbq and a cooler so you can travel light and have some hometown support. I really wanted to run this summer but the car was in the shop for 7 weeks. If you can give me some pointers Id run with ya, and guarantee you'll look fast in comparison!

blackbenzz

You're still alive!!! Nothing has really changed. Not many racers left. I guess I'm finally back in the game. I have a new setup that I will be testing soon and then redoing some stuff before November rental
Nice mph but the et isn't very impressive. Hopefully see you at MIR next month
Can't wait to see your R8!!!

dodger63

I am still amongst the living

Mph and et both sucked, vid was just to show wheelspin, car has trapped at 118 in 1/8 and that was not even a clean pass. Watch the rear left tire when the light turns green throug the smoke lol. Got kicked out of every track on west coast and midwest with the car for no cage and right on the cusp of needed a chute so I invested in one of those as well. Probably switching over to a full drag slick. Looking forward to MIR next month. Can't wait to see you car run, yours is gonna be a runner too.

Merc63

Ill head out next season, probably spring or fall when it's cool. We can do a mbworld meet and some racing.

tgibrit

took the car to pocono earlier in the summer, i was too late signing up to get to the Glenn last month but i am signed for NJMP end of oct. i have a 2009 so have to suffer the crappy gearbox at the track, but still a blast to drive.

dodger63

Mine was an 09 worked fine

Spent Saturday at a curvy track. Motorsports Ranch in Cresson TX. I was passing Ferrari's and Audi's and Jaguar's all day long. I never caught up to any of the other C63's out there - and they never caught up to me either. It was a good day.

In my honest opinion, I feel a mid 11 to low 12 secnod car is the sweet spot for a fun street car. Plenty of power to play, without being downright scary.

I just came out of a 10 second 700rwhp Supercharged SRT8 and honestly, just my personal opinion here, but it's all overated. Yup, just said that.

Sure I could take 99.99% of anything on the road in a street race, most of which start around 50mph here in the Tri-State area and end (if your not a nut job and want your license taken away) at 110mph. But after a while, that short burst of power on the highway gets old real quick. You get used to it. And for me, after all my hard earned cash was poured into that thing, I felt a bit of 'buyers remorse'.

I've grown to appreciate that the most fun car for me has to strike a great BALANCE between power, handing and weight.

I've never been to the twisty tracks before but I can image some sticky tires and a day at the track is the ultimate expression of fun for a driving enthusiast.

fly2nite

Same here! Red Start/Stop button, right? I was the white C Coupe in the beginner group, followed by JumpinJim in his Silver SL63. I think you and I chatted for 10 minutes and I never even asked if you were an active member here. LOL

There was plenty of passin going on that day, though I doubt we'll ever see the Ferrari guys publish theirs, because it would be unheard of for two Ferrari's to get passed at the same time by a lowly C63. Guess I'll have to take care of that

So many new people here. Not many racers though. Good to see the old crew is still at it.

Nice SLS Cart. That video is crazy too... Is Earl still running?

jrcart

Earl still has his CLK but has been working too much to run it much. He just picked up a new E63 S 4-matic that he has big plans for. I think Earl might be trying to make MIR as well with his CLK but not positive. he and I were supposed to meet up last week in vegas for dinner but he had a last minute change of plans and didn't make it.

propain

Nice. Turbo setup has huge potential to make a monster.


No plans for the SLS right? Please don't. The tune is enough.

jrcart

too late, car is shipping to Weistec this week for 3.0L blower. I need more power, it feels slow and boring compared to my two other AMG's.
