thousands or not, i have yet to find a C63 to beat me in a SR let alone a track ... i have seen some dragtime's postings of 119mph but have yet to see it with my own eyes...and thats with all the mods known to man on them...

atm in my world... kleemann's the king, until something knocks it off the top for me...

This is my number one issue with ever trading my C55 K atm...

Even on a freaking 100 degree day ...where everyone was *****ing of heat soak and ****ty track (and my IAT's blazin ) i was able to edge a new modded C6 then go right out and whip up on some M3's around the autocross track (Thanks brabus suspension, quaife lsd, & brembo GT's)

E55's modded are faster, but cant be modded to do **** around a road/autocross track
C63's havent been modded faster than boosted C55's yet

Its easy for the lesser guys taking shots at Kleemann etc, yet nobody yet has recipocated a better product ...yet for our C55's.

As for the C32, i would give it up for the LET guys taking it to the next level, over the bigger names such as Renntech/Kleemann/ASP

OT... C63's are as quick as 11.4, 11.5 with tuning, headers, DR's, some minor misc. stuff and good DA. That's brutally quick for such straightforward/basic mods, IMHO. Money no object, I'd make the jump to the C63 in a heartbeat - but I hear ya, your C55K is a heckuva lot closer performance-wise... probably better than most of 'em at this point.

That guy Andy at MHP is a total tool. He calls me out on another forum and I get PM'd from a friend telling me that idiot is calling me out. Then after we exchange words in the thread at A/D you Pm's me telling me to "quit" IDK am I making him look bad? Maybe he shouldnt have started a thread calling me out.

Yea he is but my suggestion is to be the bigger man and just let it ride. Arguing with people like that suck, it's not constructive whatsoever.

I cant say how fast my C55 K is on DR cause i have not ran on DR's. My fastest times are 12.1 /w 1.8 60' @ 117 and fastest trap ever has been a hair over 118mph on michelin pilot ps2 street tires

I wouldnt mind taking a few passes on them, but nothing i want to invest a grand into considering I would want to make no more than a few passes on them with rear end preservation in mind.

I have no doubt the C63 are pretty quick but the fastest I have seen is mid 12's @ 115. very nice for being all motor. I have yet to see one every break 11's even with drag tires personally.

I have no doubt your C55k's performance must be awesome. However, there's a few C63s that have crossed the 11 sec line completely stock already. There's this dude in the C63 section that ran a 11.9 completely stock and the thread is somewhere there in the forum. Other people have ran a 12.1-12.3 completely stock also with street tires. Of course a regular driver with no experience in the 1/4 would be doing high 12s low 13s all day long ( someone like me for example ).

Thats a challenge, $1000 on a race.

But anyways it seems like he is just mad since you are making the same kind of headers for cheaper. I did get some good laughs out of reading that though. Settle it by sales since exchanging words like that doesnt look good for for any seller. In reality he mad himself look like a A**HOLE!!

both of your represent your shops very poorly. By taking pot shots at each other, you are simply making yourselves look childish and silly. Grow up and just let your products do the talking.

BTW Hooley, I would be more than glad to buy your C63 headers after i'm done with my ECU

EDIT: Also do you have catalogs, website or any source where i can see the current products you offer for the C63?

Thanks

You have to be careful when you bash other peoples business you will always cause an uproar. Just let it go you are making yourself look bad as well arguing with him. You have always had a really good attitude towards everyone and I think that's partially why you are looked up to in the community so with that said I don't think you should bring yourself to that level especially since you are representing your new found company.

wow....that is out of hand.....MHP (andy or whatever his name is) doesnt even make a sound argument. sounds like an angry human being.....and he does take everything so defensively lol.

mike, you probably dont want me to say this, but just ignore him. stop talking or posting in that thread. he is being classless and low. if he cant take constructive criticism from other threads, that just reflects on his personality and inability to make himself a better individual running a better business (or scam lol). don't stoop down to that level.

when business owners make statements, they are heard, whether in a good way or bad. the statement he makes is that of a lack of class; a lack of immaturity. It doesn't even sound like an adult, almost like a little kid. The attitude he shows will make others not want to do business with him. Let his words speak for themselves.

Mike, you are a class act. You are a great guy, running a great business. Not even in it for money.....just for making new and unique parts at superb quality available to everyone without that benz tax. You are a caring individual, always on the lookout to help others. These kinds of qualities are what is important not only for running a business, but also for running your life.

Am i biased regarding what I say? Yes....you're one of my good buddy's and I'm going to stand up for you.

BUT, do I speak the truth? ABSOLUTELY.

Keep up the good work Mike and don't worry about 'em. Your products and feedback will speak for themselves.

That guy was one of the main reasons I became a sponsor. To try and restore some faith in sponsors that this guy ruined.

I just deleted a huge post. You guys are right, Im going to take the high road on this one. I cant let a guy like this get me off my course. I have a transmission problem to try and solve. Result hopefully tomorrow.

MikeAz, I am jealous that you got so much free time to talk to Andy about headers and other crap. Nobody takes him serious and I think that you are wasting your time, just ignore that d-bag.

and btw, respect to you for your avatar!

The baddest man on the planet.

If you want to say something to Andy you can. You know he is reading this. He is one of those guests you see viewing the thread.

So, you’ve been confronted with the naysayers and malcontents that one is invariably destined to encounter when pursuing almost any worthwhile professional endeavor. I’d respectfully suggest that you pay them no mind and continue to maintain the steady course you’ve envisioned for MBH’s goals.

A man’s earned reputation and trustworthiness amongst his colleagues will speak for itself.

You can never be a winner when arguing with losers.

Just let him be Hooley, we all know how good your product is so no point in going down that road. Keep up the good work
