Sorry, reg the diff, yes it will definitely help in any form of racing. The ediffs don't do a bad job but they're not a real LSD either. My 60' on that run was 1.88, it has a low 1.8X or high 1.7X in it for sure. That was the third ever pass I made with that combo (DRs and tuning).

I had to get a 1.6sec 60ft time to get a 12.2 at 115mph. Your car definately pulls alittle harder on top if you got a 12.0 with a 1.8 60ft. I love my E55 but have to admit the 63 motor exhaust note just sounds so much better than the e55 stock or modded. Note sure why?

The AMG engineers knew they had to make up for the lack of blower whine.

Although it sounds great the stock exhaust on a C63 is crap. 2.5" with large dents around the diff, 2 3/8" neckdowns at the manifold collectors, and 4 fairly restrictive cats.

Yes
So is any M3 driver up for a race, or can any C63 drivers here meet up with the 1 M3 driver on this thread in North NJ at Atco Raceway who offered to race?

Add in BlownBenz and we can do a 3way...E55 vs C63 vs M3. End ALL the speculation.

Paul, we all know its true. I love my M, but when I need a torque fix, I get into my ML63. Told you a while back, had the C come in a 6spd manual, it would be sitting in my garage.

This is still the ONLY place I disagree with you on. a RAV4, really? The M brakes are better then my brakes on my ML63.

Can you make MIR this weekend? There will be a stocker there as well as my tuned/airbox C63.

If not I guess we'll have to hope for good weather if the ATCO rental happens.

Thanks

Ok, if any mods is done to the exhaust "to free the ponies" will the sound change? because I really love the way it sounds. I don't want any louder.

Yes you can make more power while keeping the same loudness/volume as stock. We're going to offer 2 types of mufflers (straight through and baffled) and your choice of cell count with regard to cats (as well as off-road mid pipes with no cats) so our customers can custom tailor their exhaust to best suit their needs.

A bolt-on exhaust should not affect your warranty in any way. Every piece of our exhaust (304T Stainless) also comes with a lifetime warranty.

I just hate listening to people bash a great car for no reason.

Now if any of you 63 owners or m3 owners want to run let me know. My E55 is always up for it. Just wait alittle bit until im running about 610hp when i get my headers, pulley, software, and cooling upgrade. Screw it I wil race you stock too. LOL
I know alot about High HP normally aspirated motors. Both my GT3s had real trouble betting more than 20hp out of what Porsche engineered in that motor
SHow me ONE M3 motor that has more than 25 on a DYNO.
BMW did a great job on that NA motor too and they didnt leave much on the table. You telling me some kid in a storage knows more than the engineers in Munich. I dont think so.
That Porsche motorsport flat 6 is better than ANYthing BMW can come up with. Again post some dyno charts on your beloved NA M3 motor.

We werent bashing the M3- it started on the M3 side. I posted a Magazine article. You need to go to automobilemag.com and complain.
I hate when guys come in to a thread that has nothing to do with them. You need to be back on the assisted boost program or Motors that cant do it on their own forum.

I'll also take on any M3 this weekend at MIR, or before/after, just put me in touch with an E92 owner that's willing to do the same.


I don't own a M3 and I will never, I do own a C63, sorry if you missed the sarcasm .

Thanks for offering to be my Huckleberry (just a joke)
