If there is a wall for the 302 it is beyond 150 mph. The one that was at our last track weekend was able to hit straight away speeds within 5 mph of my car with tune and headers. And that was with me in his passenger seat while my car had no passenger seat and a 15 pound Sparko driver seat.
Hats off to the OP for winning the day during his encounter.
However a few seconds of accelerating on a public street doesn't tell the whole story. One thing for sure about these forums is the home team always wins. Any realistic conversation where another car performs well is not wanted here. You saw how the crowd reacted to the times you posted.
I personally want the truth and not just what we can all read (and quote) from magazines. Spend enough days at road courses and you will get a pretty good idea of what other cars are and aren't capable of. Most of the other drivers I meet are stunned by how well the Merc performs which initiates some great conversation amongst guys who love cars period. Try and imagine the forum conversation going like that? It just doesn't happen which is a shame because we all miss out when dissenting opinion is squashed.

The November issue of Evo magazine has a comparison test with the C63 Coupe, Boss 302, M3 and RS5. Tested on the same day under the same conditions with the same drivers, the C63 beat the Boss:
1/4 mile - C63 12.9 @ 113.1, Boss 13.0 @ 112.5
0-120 - C63 14.5, Boss 15.8
1/4 mile - C63 12.9 @ 113.1, Boss 13.0 @ 112.5
0-120 - C63 14.5, Boss 15.8

...... besides, it was a drag race, which only requires upshifting. But I'm open minded, so if you'd like to expand on how to heel and toe on upshifts, I'm all ears.

Talking about Buffoons ..... The C63 is an automatic with throttle blip, so no heel and toe under any circumstance, ever ...... besides, it was a drag race, which only requires upshifting. But I'm open minded, so if you'd like to expand on how to heel and toe on upshifts, I'm all ears.

hopefully he was referring to the simulated "heel toe" throttle blips that the Merc does for us when DOWN shifting, but just sorta wandered and strayed while typing...there are a lot of keys on the key board after all....all those buttonswe all make mistakes
