I wish you the best of luck on reaching your goal. It is definitely within reach. Even if you match your time and barely beat it, that would be huge.

This is what I do;
M mode 1 stomp pedel shift to second hold the tires smoking for about 10 seconds
Pull up stage put in sport mode 1st power brake to 1600 or so mash the gas to the floor at same time release break.. Then let it do everything on it's own

Im sure the space shuttle could beat his 1200HP Supra too. Were talking cars here bro.
The point was there isn't a car on the road that can touch his Supra. At least not yet. For the record there hasn't been a bike that could either. I'm not much of a bike fan so I don't know all bikes out there but he has handled anything that has come next to him with ease.

Dude there are many 1300hp + Porches out there would be able to play in that sandpit. Same goes for some of the 1500hp+ ford GT's.
Never say there is nothing out there that... you are just opening yourself to get call on. and yes you guys did say no bike can touch it. and the dude pointed out some bikes that could. does not matter if it;s a 600hp bike.
2 cents..

I guess on drag radials you can switch it off right?
Without drags sport seems way easier to manage the slip than i can with my right foot

We did not say anything about bikes in the thread. Go read it again... He started putting a bike against the supra first before any mention of one. THEN someone chimed in and said an 800HP Supra made work of a bike and that a 1200HP supra could beat any bike.
1500HP Ford GT's and 1300HP porches?? Im sure they could play but damn dude.. in my life I have never seen either in person. How many have you seen that are street legal?
2 cents noted... let it go.

I have a brabus base tune that has been custom tweaked afterwards. So i can be another single tuner representer with you John.
I think all these tuners are fantastic and so far none of them broke any of our cars, it can only lead to healthy competition and i believe all boats float to the top. There is enough money in the game for everyone to be happy.
Is anyone planning on doing a Track day or even a Dyno day in the Bay Area?
I see allot of custom c63's on the roads here and it would be cool to meet up.

I've never done that for fear of extreme heat build up in the tranny
and premature tranny failure.
Didn't C63Guy have a problem with his trans after constantly doing
2 gear burnouts? I could be wrong.

I can imagine even how it feels to hookup from first gear.
I spin from a standstill in 2'nd. It must feel like a train hooking up.
Just ordered 275/35/18 - 245/40/18 Continental ExtremeContact DW.
So i hope it would be 50% better.
Will definitely get drags when the rain stops next year

car rip out like an animal, without any wheel spin.
Those Continentals will help but if you really want to run great
1/4 mile times drag radials are a necessity. Also, weather and
track prep play a role too.

It's a nice feeling smashing the pedal with full force and have the
car rip out like an animal, without any wheel spin.

I was a long time Group M racer but that was in another country.
I would love to meet up and get some tips from fellow c63 owners

If you're interested, they'll be a few C63s at Famoso.... along with a good mix of other cars: Porsche, Ferrari, BMW, Vettes, and other MB models. Famoso is only 3.5 hours away from Bay area I think. Come join the fun

Someone please do a track day
