HI Going Auto Xing this
weekend and I'm torn on taking the M3 or the C43. Never X the C43 so I was thinking it would be fun.... I only have Koni yellows and stock wheel/tire set up, so I'm thinking I'll get roasted. Then again how many C43's could I be up against? 
This is probably a dumb question since I'm on a Benz forum..

bump ur air pressure up a bit...38-40ish psi..depending on tire (some have max at 44, some at 51). don't want the tire to roll too far off the rim. best to put too much and let out a bit after the first lap.
it's not so much getting creamed...but autox is fun for urself. no need to be ashamed... miata driven by a chic ran faster than a bmw m coupe.. so it's really just a time to have fun and see what ur car can do at low speeds legally. hfgl

Agreed. I had the most fun in an auto-x when I drove a 300CE against a C36, SLK230 (manual) and SL500 and still managed to be quicker

Based on your feedback, I might just need to
take the Beast out for a little AutoX fun. Thanks for the air pressure recomendation I will give it a try and bring my air tank so I can air up when I get there. 
300CE! Love the lines of that car.
