I can ask question if I want. I have a non disclosure to not share the information until its released. If you can't respect that then so be it. I personally would not tell you anything if I could or knew due to your attitude. No one owes you anything

You’re so clueless about the car I’m surprised you can turn it on. You couldn’t even install a JB4 on your own. Getting info from you would be as good as making **** up myself.

I have been looking at the C450. In the spring, their shoul dbe some good values, which will leave some headroom in the budget for some mod's.

A 'canned' tunning, and and new intake system, and see what I gain. I like the trim, and being in Canada, you cann't open these cars up, well not past 150KPH, if you want to keep your car and license.

We can speed up to the speed limit plus 20 extra kms/ph on the highways.

I have been handing down my cars to my daughter. We ahve been going to the local tracks and having fun. Some minor mods... So she's inline for my 2011 C300, she is driving my 09 C300...

She will be droolling for the C450 hand down... :-)

The C450 seem like the best value, for the value oriented consumer.

Just curious has anyone here dragged on a street a C63 ? Was the C43 faster ? What was the conditions like? Although the C63 does a 0-60 in 3.9s its almost impossible to achieve that. Which makes me wonder what times do they get in every day road conditions?

A C63S seems to be able to get about 4.1 reliably on the street, so if you can beat that with your C43, you'd beat a C63S.

'19s have only been getting delivered for a few weeks, and it's winter for the vast majority of markets. I'd guess you'll be waiting a 4-5 months for an answer on this...

C&D put the 2019 at 12.6@111 and 60 in 4.1. Sounds about right for the small change in power from 2018 model.

Just curious. I have a 2018 c43 with 19" summer tires, k&n air filters and JB1. Tried Maps1,2 and 6. Using octane booster and 93 Octane. Been going to PBI since Oct. best time is 12.04 with JB1 Map 2. Has anyone noticed that the additional traction that the spray they apply hurts our et's? 60 ft times with Draggy are in the 1.7 range but at the track hard to get below 1.9.

DougsC43 Draggy ET Times

Hi all. Merry Christmas. I broke into my personal Christmas present early today on Christmas Eve.
Only able to stay in my village. All 25 and some 35 mph roads. So I recorded 2 0-60 and 1/8 mi times:
Run. #1. #2

0-60. 4.23 4.03


1/8 mi. 8.07 7.88

Temp is 45. Dry low humidity. Thrilled with these times. Set in Sport Plus. Second run I power braked it.
Car is stock mechanically with a Stage 1 ECU tune installed. Thank you Matt!

Most of these results are far from "official" and anything posted that isn't an actual drag slip take with a grain of salt. That being said others have achieved mid to low 1.7's at that same track with PS4S's and the like.

Dragy is usually accurate down to .1 sec in the quarter mile and + or - 3 mph on the trap speed.
