I am primarily concerned about the launch.

For example, I don't drag race my GT2 (which is making close to 800 rwhp) or my M3 (585 rwhp) because both platforms are notorious for breaking axles if you launch them hard.

I have not heard the same about the C63. Are they safe to launch hard, and please advice me as to the fastest way to run.

Do I just put her in sport mode, hold the brake will building revs and go?

Thanks.

I did 8 runs over 4 hours last week, no issues. Dad's C63 is probably running the most whp and I think he is doing fine. In fact, I haven't heard of anyone having issues to date.

1. Get some drag radials, at the track run about 25 psi. 1/4 tank or less on gas.
2. ESP off, A/C off, do a good burnout.
3. Use sport auto, stage around 1200 rpm.
4. On the next to last amber light, floor it, then release the brake a hair later.

The last step is really the key, provided you're all set up correctly. Get a good launch, good 60 time, and hold on!

Here is a video of how to do a burnout with dragradials.

Sean, won't buying your Gt2 a tough axle is cheaper route? To do high 10 in C63 would cost a lot, 15-20K maybe? Someone, please correct if I am wrong.

aroon,

There is much more to it than axles...at my power level I will likely break the tranny (7-8K) and other stuff as well.

The GT2 is purely a roll on highway king car.

I will be happy w/ 12 second 110 plus traps to have my fun from the C 63.

you will be fine drag racing the C3 from a dig. From what i have seen on the E55 platform the read diff is a weak link in the drive train, so more than axels i think the read diff is prone to breaking. but then i have never hear of a stock car break a rear diff.
so enjoy the car!

As far as I know, there have been no issues with carnage.

With that being said, if you can't afford to fix it, don't race it. "Stuff" will inevitably happen.

Good burnouts on drag radials is a must
