C63 made a tremendous effort, just not enough to hold off that GTR

11.04 to 11.94
125 118


The C63 had the superior reaction time starting off with a .3 lead, however the GTR wound up passed and was pulling away at the end , looked closer than it was. GTR MOV was .6.

Great video demonstrating how big a difference there can be in the race by getting the jump. Had the GTR driver popped out like the C63 driver the cars would be 1 second apart, a large gap, about 10 cars ahead

Great looking C63!!

That was likely at least a slightly modified GTR.......may have even been Fiske's?

Josh, you are right about getting a slight "jump". Just a fraction of a second is often enough to make a less powerful car a giant killer.

Hi Mr. Rock,

Pretty amazing car your wife has.

Who owns this C63?? It should be on the 63 list with that 11.94.

Wow, that C63 sounds amazing! Well, the GTR is maybe faster than a C63, but the Merc is more practical for daily use. So I will choose the AMG.

Those are 20". Made by BBS specifically for the GTR. The tires are taller on the GTR 255/40f and 285/35r (I have 295/35) and in pictures they make the wheels appear smaller than they actually are.
