Based on multiple personal experiences with the MCT that is found in 2009-2010 SL63s and 2010-2012 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.

This was my fear and why I am waiting. Ive pretty much decided for multiple reasons my 2010 C63 will be my last for the foreseeable future unless the 55TT comes to the C class or the MCT makes a HUGE difference in the 1/4.

Supercharged E92 M3
if the car is making 7.5 psi with stock headers it should lose some boost but gain a power so if a stage 1 has full on LT headers and 3inch exhaust like the one i raced and still hit 7.5 psi he should be well into the 600whp+power range.
also if you do take closer into the video we both gunned it from 40km/h which means the C63 popped 3rd earlier then my car.
so I would guess when I popped into 3rd in my M3 the c63 should be in the sweet spot of the power range!
I don't know if weistec adjusted the boost for this guy but he says he was over heating a bit that way why we did do another run from 100km/h.
