2017 C43 Coupe acceleration 0-60 video

Hello all,

Here is a 0-60 video and my best one so far, Im measuring around 5.0s which is still way slower then what most of you are getting. If you have any suggestions to improve please let me know.

Wow that AMG Performance Exhaust is an entirely different animal vs the stock exhaust 😈. Gives you an extra 0.4 second boost too if you ask me !

Traction control interferes so often I turn it off every time I get in the car.


It's way too intrusive.

Sorry I meant with the tune. I am OE Stage 2, was curious if it makes a difference. On my old S5 you had to turn the traction control off to launch (I know our cars dont have launch, just saying)

Not to mention I destroyed my tires with launch on the audi lol

lol, thanks, but it's far from being a rocket… Don't waste money on piggy, go with normal ECU reflash..IMO

NYCSoil, very impressive. The OE Tuning flash looks impressive. I read that Eurocharged is running a sale for their tune this month ($850). OE Tuning has run Holiday sales in the past for the C43 tune ($800). Maybe we could pull together a group discount...anyone interested in trying?

My dealer told me that they can see any tune including piggybacks, even if I take it off before service, bull**** or not thinks you?

May I ask you spoke with at the dealer? Was it a salesperson or a tech, or service manager? How did you start the conversation?

It was discussed here before and confirmed that there's only one way to detect if the ECU is flashed - send it back to Germany.

Dinan has the sport piggy which is a quick little performance bump. worth the $300 IMO


But, they are also getting ready to release a fully warranted elite tuner for our models as well in the coming months. there are several threads here discussing this. perhaps you might want to consider that route if you are concerned about your warranty

Your car is a beast. Although you have an OE, your video inspired me to book an appointment with EC Toronto (local to me) to get a tune. I hope I'm close to as fast as this!!
