^+1 curious on this as well.

Overall, this car is awe inspiring, love this thread and awesome tune numbers. Even if people think they are reading "high" the purpose is to see the before and after on the same car, same day, same conditions, and same fuel - and I think you achieved pretty impressive gains. What a monster, I'll tell everyone I know in Texas not to mess with the RAC3ME CLS63!

Please do, I've gone back and forth between tons of cars and I think I'm going with a 2012 CLS550 4-Matic for my next car, the M278 is a monster for what it is and is a sort of mini-M157 - especially here at elevation it's incredible. Curious if there are any similar M278 build or race threads, I'll have to use that search button

Raced a 2014 Viper GTS tonight, it was a surprisingly good matchup.

Here is the other vid of the other two runs we had, the first run Viper missed 3rd and 2nd run was without a passenger in Viper. When he taps brakes the second time up top I let off.

I don't have any mods he doesn't already have and he's on 18" HRE's with DR's, he'd win every time. Our cars are both the same year, same mods, both have PP. Not worth the time to run each other, but to take down some other cars, for sure.
