If it really matters that much to you I'll be able to get a log of every run on the day, I'm sure Sonny has the slip to back it up anyway. Sonny has worked on my cars for years now, he got a 2.1 tonne AWD HSV Coupe 4 (AWD Monaro) that I owned to run a 10.9 in FULL STREET TRIM (Falken FK-452 tyres at 38psi) ... he is definitely not full of crap.
Sonny ... should have my C63 within the next 2 weeks, I'll come for a run to say hi when I get it.
cheers mate,
Nick

thanks for your input,I guess your entitled to your opinion...though i dont agree with your opinion as we have the evidence to back our claims
Just for those who are genuine here,we ran 11.8@121mph 4 consecutive times in a row in front of a crowd of 40+ onlookers with official timing at WSID ,Its all in the western international raceway logs for those interested in checking.

Do you boys know each other?
Laying in wait for 2 years before posting then let fly with something like that without anything to back up your claim. Where's your credibility?
Why not post the same up on LS1 where there are a lot of fellows who’ve had first hand experience with Sonny’s work and do the decent thing and out yourself while you’re at it. Come on, be a man about it.
Nick, only 2 more weeks, you must be starting to breathe heavy.

We could have done alittle better though the vehicle struck some trouble during the event.The transmission was nuetralising during the drag strip burnout and motorkana event.By turning the igntion of & retstarting the car,you would get drive again.After spending some time on it,we spoke to mercedes to find there was an issue with some c63 accelorator pedal assemblys.Its booked in to have this issue rectified,then we go back to the track again to better the 11.8 run.Your car looked great as usual Ben,thats some fine machine !!!

Sonny is one of the first Tuners in Aus who actually started modifying C63's. I think he deserves a little more respect. With his persistance and the c63 responding so well, it has got the attention of other Tuners who are also now modifying C63s. I believe this is good news, as it will create more tuners to choose from and we will get more locally engineered parts for our cars.
Congrats on the time, nothing like abot of friendly rivalry, hopefully soon i too will be in the 11s

Sounds like apmitchell74 is another tuner who cant match the same results as Sonny. What is it with some tuners bagging out on everyone else, reminds me of school kids.
I dont think you will find a more credible guy than Sonny in the tunning industry. He has produce oustanding results with the LS1 crew and is now proving his talents with the C63.
Hey Nick (C63 V8) you dont know me but I have followed the progress of your coupe 4 from WA over the years, what a beast. With the type of commitment you showed to that car i cant wait to see what you are going to do with the C63! welcome aboard.

Plus I really don't care about LS1 tuning!! This is an AMG forum not a LS1 forum... You really can't compare the two, AMG engines are far better than a LS1!!
