Possible..

I think the tranny is the problem on the 2012. Probably gonna suck at the track.

mthis

The trans will be good for the track.
Just have to know how to use it safely.

Hey Guys,

Just wanted to chime in and clear up some of the confusion on power levels. A Stage 1 supercharged car (Completely stock with the supercharger system) makes 500 horsepower to the wheels on a dynojet dyno. You can give or take some because of dyno type, temps, octane, etc. Our Stage 1+ system is our supercharger system tailored towards the customer who already installed long tube headers, free flowing exhaust, and air filters. This system is almost identical to the Stage 1 system, but we modify the calibration for the exhaust and also equalize boost because free flowing exhaust is like many know a very big bottle neck and the car typically drops 2-3 psi boost. For further details on this please visit our FAQ section on our website linked below. This system makes around 540 horsepower to the wheels, again give or take a few due to conditions, dyno, etc.

Jim's (Jrcart) car has a completely stock drivetrain. No light wight driveshaft or any special differential parts. It does have light weight rotors, but we have not seen any real gains on the dyno from this. We dyno this car on slicks because it does burn out on the dyno with the dymags, and we notice a small power loss with the sticky tires, but its very negligible.

Hope this helps, and great runs guys. Please be safe out there!

Ohhh I see, thanks for the input Hagi!
Both Jim's are putting down some insane numbers!

Getting a proper burnout is the problem I hear.

Don't tempt me!! I've already decided to take my 2010 off the road!! Lol.

Burnout problem with 500plus HP
use the LC to do the burnout in the water that way deft burn some rubber.

.


sry about that mis info.
i was going by this thats why i thought he had it but then again this is 3years old.

jrcart

Trust me, I wish I had the CF driveshaft, the vendor that evosport hired to complete the driveshaft dropped the ball on that project not once but twice, I finally gave up on it.

mthis

Huh that sucks I thought they also make 1 for the c63.
How's the car running, Sounds like a monster from the videos.

dodger63

Were there's swill there is a way,, But to my understanding our stockers are about as light as there going to get,

propain

Most tracks will flip out doing the burnout in the water. There person behind you is gonna love ya too.

Hopefully there is a way to warm them enough with the LC. That was the only question I had with the new tranny. Meh... Im satisfied with my 2010. It gets to a point where I have to look at it for what it is... a bad *** 4 door but still a 4000lb 4 door.

To bad they couldn't make it awd.

I would really hate it if they made it awd. It would take away most of the excitement I have with the car

propain

Yes, but it would make it GTR quick in the 1/4 stock over night. Probably be in the low 11's with a tune only on street tires. No burnouts. No drag radials. Real world street quick every time you leave your house.

Burnouts and fishtails are fun. But it sucks for performance.

Vegas_AMG

Did you say something about a proper burn-out? Here's 2:

propain

Those are 2 2012 C63's with MCT transmissions with launch control?

ecampbell

I could be wrong but I think those are two black series at las vegas speedway from last night.

propain

Nice! Hope you guys had a good time. How were your times?

It seemed Vegas_AMG jumped into the thread and just responded without reading first. My question about getting a proper burnout was obviously directed at the 2012 MCT's with LC.

We wont know until we see some on the track but from what I hear with other RWD launch controlled cars they dont perform well in the 1/4 due to not being able to heat up the drags.

KEMA

I was test driving the new CLS63 PP yesterday with the MCT. Absolutely no problem doing a burn out in M. I assume this goes for the new C as well.

brad @ evosport

All you need is a line lock kit and you can get any tire up to temp!

propain

Is there a way to shut off the launch control?

I know you can spin the tires on street tires for sure and do a "Burnout" What do you think about doing it and keeping the car in place while your foot is on the break and really smoke them up?

propain

There ya go.. a line lock would do the trick for sure.

I didn't see any BSs last night...........

Based on multiple personal experiences with the MCT that is found in 2009-2010 SL63s and 2010-2011 W212 E63s, the MCT was heating up extremely quickly causing a reduction in power and/or limp mode specifically when attempting to perform a long burnout with drag radials. I think the drag radials were applying too much torque load to the tranny's internals causing it to heat up. In addition, at the AMG Academy, the MCT in the W212 E63s and SL63s was going in limp mode after 2 to 3 laps in Manual mode at Laguna Seca... so not even in a drag race environment.

Please note though that the case maybe different for the MCT that is found in the new twin turbo applications (Mercedes may have beffed up the internals to handle the extra torque) As propain stated, we will only find out after many cars are sold and some owners take them to the track and report back.
