*****New C63 Record: Dodger is at it again***** 10.81@132

For those of us who also follow the C63, Dodger (Mike) ran a 10.81 at 132 at MIR yesterday. Wow, brutal, just brutal!! Makes me realize just what a beast that car is!!! And this is a NA car with tune and some weight reduction. Congrats Mike, you runs are becoming legendary for the C Class and any class!!

That actually wasn't his quickest time... he broke into the 10.7s. So there's a new record even quicker than the time you posted. He's not just "tune and weight reduction" though, at the very least he's got full LT headers and perhaps other exhaust mods as well... although you're correct that it's all motor.

Pretty amazing stuff.

It sure is!!! I hear he ran a 10.78 at 131, so that was quicker time, slower top end.

+1, I'd love to find me a C63 with a P30 or P31, do a tune, some headers and airbox and you're looking a low 11s car in the mid-high 120s.

Plus, the sound of C63 with headers is just like a roaring growl from cerberus itself.

Go for it, Newz! I on the other hand have recently liquidated my X5 and gave my 202 to the ex's parents

Time to go hunting for a weekend car

Atco is a fast track, and luckily about 20 mins from home for me. Ive been racing on and off there for about 17 years. Great times dodger....very impressive!
