How to launch the C55?
I'm taking my car to the Drag Strip tonight to see what kind of numbers I'll pull pre-Kleemann. I'd greatly appreciate if you guys could share various launching/shifting techniques for our c32/c55 car. I'm very familiar with shifting and launching a manual tranny car, but obviously that doesn't apply with our cars.
Thanking you in advance.

LOL Actually even a spider can do it! 
lol I would just leave it on autoshift mode. When are you getting you S7 done? Maybe we can compare notes later S7 vs S8/N? 
:p

Nitrous is cheat gas
dragonAMG, try a buncha ways of launching your car.
I'm not sure if the C55 suffers from heat soak, but the W211 AMG's do, so take that into consideration if it applies.
