Not for nothing Mike, but I would definitely look into getting into the 63 game, because if you can make a product like the one you made for the 55, and undercut guys like MHP price wise, you will sell a lot of units.

As for Andy, why anyone does business with that idiot I'll never know. Even if he had unquestionably the best product on the market, I would never buy anything from someone who behaves like he does. I don't think he even knows the meaning of the word professionalism.

i had a max bid of 32k on it, you woulda got it after that

Now I am waiting for a package to come out for the C63s that make it worthwhile ... I see lots of stuff showing 123-124mph traps with C63 yet I have never seen a video. I wanna see it with my own eyes, then i will be turned on to them

Currently they seemingly are very close to the C55K if not a little faster, but not stupid fast. The ETs im not to worried about as I have yet to put DR's on mine, but figure with pulliing 12.1-12.3 consistantly on street tires, 11's are in the bag. Anyone wanna let me rent a few runs on their DR's i will drop you a 100 spot if your in the stl area

I really dont want to buy them as I will make 1-3 passes on them, bust into the 11's and then never run again knowning its an 11sec car, so makes it a expensive venture for a few passes.

To bad the C63 compression so damn high, a boosted one would be the next goal.

Evil. I totally would have, had I remembered just for the parts and sold dumped it stock. Rediculous deal for sure. I even contacted him after and offered him more but he wouldn't do it. Nice/honorable guy I guess.

Well... 12.1 @ 117 on streets might translate to 11.9 @ 116 on DR's, or something like that. Which means, the fastest C63's (with just bolt ons, tuning, and similar tire) are, ballpark, a half-second quicker and trapping 5 mph higher - IMHO that's a pretty meaningful difference, but certainly not as drastic as what they'd do to a C32.
