Stock E55 vs MHP C63 (mthis)
I bumped into this guy with the MHP tuned c63 and I have a stock E55 and just installed my Cm30 pump yesterday. We did 2 runs from 0 and with my shi**y tires I couldn't get the car to launch but anyway both times lost by about 1 car and half. We also did 2 rolling starts and both times I got in front and he wasn't able to pass me both rolling races, about 1 car. We definetly hit speeds above 100mph but not on the runs from the dig. Fun runs, I really expected for it to pull really hard on the roll with the tune but not what I expected. You can see every time the gear changes on the C63 the front end of the car was bouncing hard in a downward direction I don't know why that was. This is my second night racing this car and this first time he had bad tires and this time I had the bad tires.

BTW... to be fair, mthis does own two ECU's one stock and one MHP
v3 tune but I'd be kinda curious to know why he would have his stock ECU installed??? and Not his New v3?
I can actaully verify and confirm from a friend if need be...

I raced Mthis C63 a couple of months ago also and I did not see the car bouncing so hard after every shift. Last night I noticed every time it changed gears it was bouncing really hard so I figured he definetly had the tune.

Trust me and no offense, I love 55Ks 
, but if it was that close with his stock ECU/TCU it would've been ugly had he been tuned. edit: Would you be down for a friendly rematch when he gets it back?

AHAHAH No offense taken and I WAS RUNNING ON BALD tires and having big time traction issues and still was getting out in front on the rolls. The races from 0 were definetly shot for me. I had the problem of this same guy calling me out every week and every day after we raced the first time and I knew it was a matter of time before we run into each other. You said it woul've been ugly, depending on how UGLY you think its gonna be is going to make my decision on just driving up to see him and run again? What is your definition of UGLY? 1 car length 2.3..4...5?

Just to be clear since there's been so much controversy on the site lately, that was not meant as a jab, instigating comment, or anything else bad. I'm sure mthis would be game, the kid's an animal lol. Just a friendly rematch, hopefully you'll both be on new rubber by then.

From a roll, it would depend on the speed I guess.
Sounds like you're having fun, it's been months since I've had a decent race.

Umm, what exactly is this "tune" gaining WHP wise on average for the C63? 3-4 car lengths would need a good amount of WHP to gain 3-4 cars by 120mph over a E55 who is leading a car length up to these speeds.

You think from a DIG he'll be 3-4 car lengths on me to 120-130? LOL Just to inform you a couple of months ago he had the shot tires and I jumped out in front about 2 car lengths on him. Now this time I had the bad tires and he got about 1 car or 1 car and half in front. I think there is NO WAY that his car will be in front of me by that much with just YOUR TUNE. I will run him againnnnnnnn. Any1 int he staten island area up to watch a fun run to vouch? I don't mind to lose win or or tie but I doubt that your tune will get it out that far ahead. No Offense

Any C63 with the the full MHP ECU/TCU tune, im pretty sure would walk 3-4 cars in front of a E55.
