Very silly test since any legal competitive use of launch control would be in a situation where you had plenty of time to prepare and get it set up.
Regardless, it was good to see the C63S beat the M by a full second in the 1/4 even if their respective times were terrible. I suspect the surface was crap. On the other hand, it probably took the M's potentially better off the line traction out of the equation and made for a better comparison of the cars' respective engine power.
