2012 CLS63 - Best settings for 0 - 60 times???

Seems like there are so many combinations that I am curious which combo works best when I line up against someone who wants to dance.

Fast cars in general....
For me, it looks like the following combo works the best only when the tires are warm.

S+
Sport handling
Comfort suspension

light turns green, stomp the gas pedal.

No brake and gas to get the RPMs up a little?

I bet with the performance package + launch control you'd be in the low 4s

The ESP pushed once allows for the full compliment of torque. Since 2010 when I got my first W212 AMG I have driven with in sport mode or completely off. Only keep it on if you are new to this type of power or its raining. The car is clearly more powerful with it off or in sport mode. You can literaly feel the tq change.

Comfort suspension huh? That would be no lights on the shock button correct?

a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
I set up the same way, except I'll hold down ESP until it's completely 'Off'.
I've tried Sport+ but still get the electrical nanny intervening too much.

It may have been the road condition at the time but can't be sure.

Oh, and regarding launch control, or as MB calls it, Race Start, just forget about that feature. I think AMG needs to research this further.

Most of the E55 guys who are running 11's and 10's run the comfort mode too. It allows for more wheel squat and force to the ground which leads to less wheel spin.

ok. which is the esp button? the one with the car and the 2 tire tracks/off?

i dont really know what all the buttons do yet. my car wont be built for another 2 months so ive never even driven one.

After seeing a few vids of the launch control, it does seem that Benz needs to work on it a bit. Maybe it's the lack of LSD so the massive wheel spin makes it bog real bad.

Was kinda hoping the launch would look something like this vid. STAY WITH ME...I know it's the mighty 4 wheel drive Aventador. Just notice that she bogs just ever so slightly then kicks hard.

Then listen to the super bog on the newTT. Needs some work

Still love it and yes it will be mine soon!!

yeah thats disappointing. especially seeing how crazy the acceleration is from like 50 mph-110.

and their second video theres even more bog.

What is the race start doing for you that you don`t like? You try dyno mode?

RS just doesn't seem like the most efficient way to launch the car - the wheelspin as you launch seems to jump & then disappear.
