My God,... a whist of fresh air. Long overdue!

arctichaze

LOL. I myself was a Acura forum dude way back then... a certain handful of people here sure sounds like your typical fan boy with deeper pockets or richer parents (I'm not sure). Even if they claim that they are not, their comments tell otherwise.

Hey 2ton, always loved those svt lightnings. Probally the best looking sports pickup ever made. Wanted to get one as a winter vehicle until i realized they're rwd. Thats a big no can do in the chicago winters.

2tonOfun

Yeah, with 520 ftlbs of torque, dry pavement is slippery. Mine rarely see's the rain and will never see the snow. But yeah they are fun. Easy to make fast and mine being a low 12 second truck it will surprise quite a few "fast" cars on the street (including a C63).
I needed a HotRod that I could keep my surfboard in while I was at work. fits the bill perfectly.

Oh but wait, this is an MB forum. Sorry.

Razorecko

Hey we still all have mb's so theres no reason why we can't talk about something else

ericpd

That's true,... even among those of us who do have MB's in our stable, I would bet most wished those MB's were C63's! At least I do. Think about it,... a raging and angry Raven Black CTS-V nestled alongside a sweet-n-sexy Obsidian Black C63 w/PP with a Black Widow complex in your garage,... well any human being with ********* would die for that. Yeah,... I'd say we have the right to talk about something else.

Quick question for the C63 pilots,... how much is MB charging these days for TeleAid subs? After rollin' with OnStar for nearly two months, I'm seriously thinking about re-activating my TeleAid in the C32. I do understand that I have to get the system converted from analog to digital,... that price is doable. But I can't seem to get a fix on what the sub is, and would like to know that before deciding whether or not spending money on the conversion makes sense. Thanks!

ericpd

Well I told you guys I'd be back here if and when I got a chance to lock horns with a C63 and update you folks on the outcome. Well,... it happened.

bushburninc63

this thread needs to die.

ericpd

It did die,... well not exactly. It excused itself to go hybrinate sometime back in May. I promised to share with a few posters if I should ever come up against a C63. Just keepin' ma promise.

6.3AMG

so what happened?

yooker

Are you planning of tuning the ECU on the CTS-V to get even more power?

sflgator

I'm guessing he walked the C63 in his '09 s/c'd CTS-V, unless the C63 had a tune...then it would be interesting.

ericpd

Well let's just say the ole CTS-V didn't do as well as I thought it should have done. And can we just leave it at that? I don't wanna talk about it anymore!

soldier2304

Ok so you raced a C63 and instead pulling 6 cars like you thought you would pull on it, you managed to only pull 2-3 cars? The new CTS-V stock vs stock will take a **** on a C63. I think and i hope everyone knows that.

sflgator

Really? Do you know if the C63 AMG was tuned? I thought the CTS-V traps ~ 118-119mph in the 1/4mi. any day of the week. I know the V is heavy @ > 4,000lb. but that thing has a detuned s/c'd ZR-1 engine making 556HP...so what's the deal?

E55AMGGG04

You guys just sit back relax and give it a few days.

A forum member here wants to run his 09 CTS-V and I will be running him. We will get a C63 out there also so we will have all 3 cars in 1 night with videos to see what happenes. We just havn't set up a date yet which I'm going to try to push before this monday before I go on vacation for a week.

REDSRT

Dude nobody wants to see your Grandpa E-class raceeeee. J/k bro your benz is wicked! Hope the C beats all of you..................(yeah rite)

E55AMGGG04

AHAHAH thanx. It will be interesting and fun !

Razorecko

heatsoak eric. Our v's do not like any bit of heat. - same thing is needed like upgrading the heat exchanger on the e55's

thwalkerjr

No, we can't.

Aw c'mon EpD... speak up

thwalkerjr

Yes, however, if they were racing side by side - heat the same for both so no excuse here...

Oh yeah, that's right... they had to SUPER CHARGE the V to get that level of performance. Perhaps that has something to do with it?

I naturally aspire.

6.3AMG

^^^^I like NA too but the same could be said for most of AMGs lineup. And trust me, they didnt have to supercharge it.

frankiediesel

i raced a cts-v from 30 up to 140 he beat me by 3 cars but the 2nd race i beat him buy 4 cars easyyy ones the super charger got hot that was it game over we raced 3 times every race we had after the first i kept beating him

Timeless

Sounds like the fate of every F/I car...must upgrade cooling.

2tonOfun

Man this thread has some legs!
All I know is that we live in some pretty cool times when these two mnfgs, Mercedes and Cadarack make these two muscle cars.
