C63 on track? Holding up fine?
Hi for those of you who actually take C63 out on the track, how does the car hold up?
Any problem with the brakes overheating and the stock pad being too soft?
Engine over heating?
Traction control ?

I tiook mine to a track day at at 10 turn road course and the brakes held up very well. I would prefer a little more aggressive pad to get a stronger initial bite but the pedal stayed pretty firm for all of the runs. The car really needs more negative camber in the front because the left front (lots of right hand turns) takes a huge beating!

I experienced no mechanical issues, no brake fade. You will destroy tires. I have a Schedule A coming soon and I will have the car looked over for any problems that aren't apparent.
I did try the automatic S shifting on a run and did care for it. It didn't seem to shift (or not shift) at the right times on the track for me. Paddle M shifting was the way to go. (Wish we had a clutch......)
