To find out, just run him. Personally, I believe it would be close from 60 to 120. But even if you do lose, his car costs significantly more. There's no shame in that.

Be safe, and let us know the outcome.

I have an ecu tune on my car and smoked an M5 pretty easily the other night from about 30mph.

Stock North American M5's without LC are around
12.30 @ 116 mph if he gets a good launch
but
12.50 @ 115 mph seems to be the average.

M5's trap a bit higher then C63's but there 60 foot is usually over 2 seconds.

You should be able to take him till about 185 KM/H then his gearing and HP advantage will let him start to walk on you.

Keep us posted and run him somewhere safe.

I lost to one but mine was stock his was modded. But indeed stock vs stock I think it should be very close...but I think the M5 will win in the long run

mthis

throw drag radials on both cars the m5 would beat the c63 by 2-3 cars..



STOCK -STOCK

from stand still the c63 would win up to 120mhp after you will see the m5 pull and pass.

What about Stock M5 vs C63+ECU ?

I don't even look at the ECU as a mod it's like a $1,500 Option. Horse Power Package

Ran my buddies m5 0-70mph 3 times I had 1 car length

60-100+ we were about even but I could tell over 100mph m5s get stronger

Wow. Unbiased, mature conversation here (this is my serious face).

I'm seriously, really proud of you guys.

Mercedes owners can act like grownups sometimes. :o

if i were to run a stock m5 i would walk alllllllll over it. i dont know about other tunes but my MHP ecu/tcu tune is no joke,

I think its a know fact that the M5 is the 4 door king of the autobahn. It's gearing allows for crazy pickup past 100MPH. I dont think there's any car under 100K that has the acceleration capabilities of an M5 past 100MPH. Now getting to 100 MPH is another thing my butt dyno still thinks that my Evo is faster to sprint to 100 than my C63. Or should I say my wife's C63. Damn automatic, since she can drive it she decided it's her car now

Yeah, I think that the C63 would also lose to the Bugatti. Oops, why am I comparing the C63 to a way more expensive car? Guess I just read the last few posts and realized everyone else is doing it why not me.

Guys, at least compare the car to the same direct competition cars - not cars costing 30%-50% more. I'd be really pissed if my 100k car got beat by a 65k car - although it comes pretty f!@##n close. That's good enough for me.

acuteperformance

Stock for Stock the M5 would definitely win IMHO. But like everyone else is saying, you're comparing a car that is 30% more than yours.

DaGS1800

It is a very close race... I beat the M5 when I raced one up to 100mph, at speeds past 100mph the V10 has an advantage as it began pulling on me...

I think the C63 is faster at lower speeds and acceleration. But the M5 might be faster off a roll...

DAGREEKNYC

honestly would u rather win the race from a dead stop ???? Or lose the top end . When you take him out of the hole after a 100 let off the gas !!!!!! dont give them the satisfaction !!!!!!! Yes im a sore loser !!!!!!!!!!!

DaGS1800

I am assuming you're greek...

Ti Kanis re?

LOL I like that....

Merc63

Raced an 08 M5 about 3-4 times from a dead stop. We were neck and neck till around 185-200km/h and he started to walk on me every time.

How so? You trap 115 tuned, M5s trap 118 stock...

Other than this, I agree with all that have posted. Good level-headed thread...

I traped 115 STOCK. Not tuned

Rodz

Nice! May I ask which tire did you have? Pzeros? How were the 60s?

mthis

I had drag radials m/t et street 2
60 foot was 1.8 something

shchow

As everyone said, I think stock for stock would be pretty even up to 100mph. Then the C63 gets walked after that.

FYI...Mike@AWDmotorsports on the M5board ran 10.57 with his modded M5...
