the 030 stuck to the road
There were three cars on Saturday, E63, CLS63, and SL55. All with 030.
And I'll tell you what the diff was. You could only really spot it on the road course. I drove a CLS63 and a CLS63 030 back to back. The non-030 CLS was all over the place with the same exact track, the 030 stuck to the road like glue and never slipped more than a few inches. Felt very solid. Both cars were very fast and felt like they belonged on the track but the 030 would spank the non-030 around the track. On the oval you probably wouldn't notice much of a diff.
Oh and the limiter is at 155, so you can do 150 no problem in a non-030 car.

Trez63 - 3 out of at least 10 cars with the 030 is not all the cars. If you can tell the difference on an oval verus hard sharp cornering you have great senses. I could not. May need to take a lessson or two from you.
Can't wait to see the new body work on the E63. Don't understand how that person hit the wall if following the instructor's car? Like to hear details from the brused driver. That might be very exciting stuff to read on the board.
