I want to, but it will be in October before I get a chance to go...you might remember me, I was the one with the white c55 w/BBS wheels, saw your first ever runs in that c63 a few months ago. I'm getting a few things added/corrected in the car before I can hit e-town again.

There are some boys on M3post that are hankering to run a C63 with their M-DCT M3's. You should post on the M3post.com "VS" section, you could catch a lot of flies

So apparently, M3post didn't like this proposal too much. I don't see why it would be a problem, and why do they always have to diss the IS-F everytime someone mentions it.

Belive it or not the is-f on street it takes of with 0 wheel spin when smashing the gas to the floor. I no in my car if I do that I'll spin 1st 2 nd and 3 rd. It's very hard to take off in the c63 with no wheel spin almost imposible

I still think the C63 should win this race if launched properly. Although the M3 does have the weight advantage and if equipped with the DCT, it might be just as quick. Hopefully we can see a video of this race eventually.

12.4 stock? lolol. I'll believe thats stock when I see other C63's post those #'s also. Your car is all of a sudden half a second quicker because of tire's and this tranny problem you had lol. I dunno something is fishy here. Any other C63's run there car on the 1/4 mile? My STOCK 55 should do around 12.5 from what I hear from other members. I have to get rid of my all season tire's before I take it to the track as well.

I thought i've read on several major mags have done 12.4 to 12.5 in the 1/4 mile. I'm almost sure of this.

Just record a vid and get on with the modding.
Can't argue with video proof.
No need to wait because 1 guy doesn't believe you.

12.4 sounds reasonable especially with 275's on the rear. Car & Driver and Road & Track both recorded 12.5's for 2008's which were stock and without the ls diff from the performance package.
