2017 C43 AMG Cabriolet Black/Cranberry Red
12.1 @ 113.8MPH in my Eurocharged C43 Cabriolet

I'm having trouble getting my 60' down to 1.7 but I believe I can get this car down to 12.0 flat if I can. 460lbs heavier than all you sedans - especially the sedans with no pano on 18" rims posting their times.

Please do not compare these times to stage 2 AMR cars. I believe this is the fastest off-the-shelf Stage 1 ET time in the world right now - open to anyone proving otherwise with slips.

Yep. Modding is a risk no matter how you slice it.

For the safest bet, get Dinan. It's factory matching but the power gains are conservative.

If you want a full tune, Eurocharged is by far the biggest company, with the most resources and history. They have the money and proper insurance to help when **** hits the fan and it's within their warranty terms.

Nice and consistent numbers, congrats. I like when people show multiple slips, not just their best number

Thanks. We're doing our best north of the border trying to show what these tunes can do.

We actually had a eurocharged sedan and AMR sedan there that night, running against eachother.

Identical. Honestly, identical. Neither tune could pull an inch on each other. We switched drivers as well just to eliminate that factor. There will be a thread posted shortly by one of the cars

Nice times!

Hats off to ALL vendors in the tuning community for putting out a nice tune for Stage 1 Upgrades (AMR, EC, OE)!

The same night, they couldn't break 12.2-12.3. It's very strange. 60' the same as me.

In stock baseline dyno, I made 14whp more than threefirs. He made 8wtrq more than me.

so what wheels are stock on your car vs his? tires may be the difference. other wise it has to be weight or something.

This just proves a point. People in here talking about how good their tunes are need to get a dyno and do before and after plots. Monday engines vs. Wednedsay or Friday engines which also proves no two cars are a like.

One car may have super duper tune based off of company posted numbers and then find out that their car really isn't making said numbers or can't prove it on the track.

Every little thing counts, including wind, humidity, track prep, the ECU's mood, etc...
