leave sport but on auto not wher you can shift your self.
and esp leave on sport not off it will make your car bog. i dont no y but it happed to me a couple times.


sport/sport 2000rpm power brake and depending on weather you should do very good on track. on street it a diff ball game, i take off esp and role into the gas. and that the best. when i ran a 12.722 on track i ran 12.825 on my g-times and my 0-60mph was 4.27 on street i got 0-60mph in 4.05
i dint run g-times on the other runs

Very nice run mthis, thanks for posting up your results.

MHP, what mods do you think the C63 will need to have done to trap in the 120+ range? Thanks!

I'll answer that question next Wednesday evening (my track test day as it's already started raining here and won't stop until Sunday) after I get back from the track. I'll be dynoing ECU/TCU on Monday.
If it can't be done with just ECU/TCU tuning, filters, and DRs I'll be fairly surprised.

The ***-o-meter agrees.

FWIW so far with the Nitto's I've found (like mthis) a 2000rpm brake stalled launch to be optimal, though on a prepped surface I may have to go higher.

Sucks to hear the weather isn't going to turn out for you, but Wednsday will be here soon enough. I have to say that is one thing I'm liking about you so far MHP, you don't beat around the bush and your not afraid to make predictions Your right, ECU/TCU tuning might just satisfy most people

Thanks for the kind words nrgy. We aim to please, and I have to admit, I love beating the **** out of this car purely for the benefit of you and others.

Not to hijack mthis's thread but now that I think about it, my best prior ET (removed charcoal filters) was:

The closest weather results for 08/13/2008 at 08:04 pm

Time recorded 7:54 PM
Temperature °F 72.0
Dew Point °F 57.0
Altimeter Setting 29.76 Inches Mercury
Absolute Pressure: 28.81 Inches
Density Altitude: 2345.4 feet
Track Elelvation: 900 feet

UnCorrected ET:
12.89 (sec) @ 111.44 (MPH)


Corrected ET to Sea Level:
12.536 (sec) @ 114.665 (MPH)


Best Trap (same night):

The closest weather results for 08/13/2008 at 07:21 pm

Time recorded 6:54 PM
Temperature °F 77.0
Dew Point °F 57.9
Altimeter Setting 29.76 Inches Mercury
Absolute Pressure: 28.81 Inches
Density Altitude: 2666.5 feet
Track Elelvation: 900 feet

UnCorrected ET:
13.00 (sec) @ 111.7 (MPH)


Corrected ET to Sea Level:
12.588 (sec) @ 115.434 (MPH)

With 60's in the 2.04-2.15 range.

Fearless prediction: If I don't hit 120+ on Wed I'll be shocked.


Now watch a deer run across the track at 1000' on my first pass LOL.

Nice runs, good on you to get this on paper, on the street you will be faster as from my expience I always have hooked up better on the street with other cars in my past, the asphalt is never as slick and much grippier. I also have the problem sometimes that the car will bog for a fraction of a second with ESP Sport on, with it off you feather it through and I get better launch.

Spinning the tires has nothing to do with reaction time, just to let you know.

It's really hard to get a good reaction time with a street car because of situations just like this. The only way to begin to get really great reaction times is to really set the car up for drag racing. You are so limited with what you can do with the factory components on your car but the best way to try and improve your 60' times is to work with your tire pressures. Don't even worry about your reaction times for now, it's all about having a good time and going a little faster. Good luck and have fun.

Where are you from that you went to Atco? Philly or Jersey?

put the car in dyno mode and do not power brake, lightly step on the brake and step on the gas on the second yellow, let the car roll slightly then hit it.

you bog cause esp, car needs to be in dyno mode.

Right now you have fastest recorded stock pass in a C63.

Fax me your slip

Nice time! My friend with the bolton 300c Srt-8 ran a 12.5@114 with a 2.0 60ft in E-town which is a slower track. When I ran him from a roll I kept up like 2 cars to 120. My Clk55 is stock.
