If you remember correctly Howard (HHughes1) took it to a private track rental because I was out of town and set a new record with it back in December. The car is fast and many different drivers have proved that.
The only reason I posted the three different times is because they were on different days at different tracks with different drivers so people know the quick runs were NOT a FLUKE.

I love to drive the car but its my DD so I am in it every day. Its fun to watch it race and just relax and enjoy the moment. I love watching the crowds response every time it runs. Makes me laugh.

I am sure that Ben or myself would be glad to drive your car anytime we are at the same track. Might make a difference and might not. Enjoy and be safe!!

Interesting...thank you for clearing that up.

I think it's safe to say that nobody doubts that your particular C63 with all those mods is quite fast, no matter who is driving it. I do have to say that although it is a bit unusual that you would have so many ppl driving your DD, I can appreciate your enjoyment of watching it run.

FWIW, when I asked a few questions about your car earlier, I was just trying to understand why you guys do what you do with your C63 as some ppl like me only run their cars (whether modded or not) only 1-2 x/year for fun and as a "guys night out" kind of thing.

Also, I probably should've rephrased my reference to "professional" drag race car drivers, since I was merely trying to point out that there are those who are much more experienced at drag racing than other ppl; i.e. ppl who run their cars at the drag strip on average 1-3x/month and have been doing it for a while vs. those that just go 1-2x/year just for a quick night of fun with the guys.

And, yes, if by chance (during one the one of the 2x/year I run my car at PBIR) and you and/or Ben are there as well, then I would consider having one of you drive my car for one run to see what happens...definitely slower than your car with no LT headers, no ported heads, all 4 cats in place, and no DRs (just my street tires), but could be interesting nonetheless. I would still like to see my car run ~ 12.0-12.1 sec. @ 117mph on street tires; with a good launch and a 1.9x sec. 60ft., I'm fairly confident that it could.

Thank you and enjoy! Cheers!!!!
