I knew that wasn't you. I recognize your kid brother Earl even though I have never met him.

Would this allow us to test our top speed? May be?

Anyone have any idea of how fast a stock C63 would go if the track were 1.5 miles? From what I've read, the 1 mile track would be insufficient to allow me to get to my limited top speed of 174 but venture to guess that 1.5 miles would be enough.

Stock? Maybe... but only 'cause of the stock speed limiter. Delimited C63's will need more than 1 mile to reach top speed, AFAIK.

On a stock unit, 1 mile isn't enough room to hit the speed limiter. But remember @ 170ish the extra 1/2 mile goes by REALLY fast. I say that from personal experience.

And yes, I recieved an email from the event promoter with the info on the longer track.

Follow-up question... I thought only P31 cars had the limiter raised to 175ish - was that an option on earlier C63's as well?

Just curiousity - TIA.

That's wrong!

Keith-I guess you won't be bringing the whole crew with you anymore? That would definitely be an uncomfortable trip in that back seat.

Nope, it's actually pretty un-intrusive. Once you are in the back seat. it's not bad. Just don't bang your head on the rear bars...OUCH.

I would like more detail of the supposedly "stock" M3 doing 181mph in a mile. That does not sound right. I do not even think modded C63 will reach that trap speed.
See you Sunday guys

The M3 in question is FAAAARRRRRR from stock. His car has been stroked, super charged, lighten, etc...... the list goes on and on. Not that some of the c's on here don't have alot of the same mods (well except for the supercharged part), but either way not even close to stock. The door handles might just be the only stock part left on the car. So with all that being said, and the (adverstied) 600 RWHP, not really all that impressive. When we get near that HP,,,,,,,, mid 190's.......DONE.

wow, after further review, the M3 (pencilgeek) in question is nothing more than a shell. No interior= full race car. Now I'm even less impressed.

2 more days. And i hear we might just have 1 more C going with us. Should be a great showing of C's this time around. Does anyone know if the RennTech guys are bringing their C???? I know Steve is registered in his CL, but don't see the C63 anywhere on the list.....

That thing is hardly an M3 anymore. Not sure what the point of it all was when the engine was replaced and then supercharged. Might as well have started with a 997 TT.

I'm thinking about heading out to the event tomorrow as well; will decide today.

I looked at the website but did not see the times for the event. Anyone know what time it starts & ends?

Also, how many runs is each car allowed/expected to make?

I'm checking the weather forecast....

Rantar: if you click on registration, then on event timeline, you will see that the track opens at 8:45. I hope to see you there.

Correct, track opens @ 8:45, and if it's anything like the event, you simply run and line back up. As many runs as you want. There's only 60ish cars registered, so you should be able to get a bunch of runs if you want.

On a side note, with all the C's coming to this one. I'd like to get some pics with all the cars together if we can.
