The best recorded time I have in mine tune only is 0-60 in 3.58. That was with DR's though.
The track prep for that test must have been really good to get 3.7 0-60 on street tires.

Oh yeah the only magazines that have accurate 0-60 time published are the ones that have the C63 over 4.5 right?

You are starting to sound like a crazy fanboy rather than a race enthusiast. The C63 is a great car but im sorry to dissapoint you it is not the fastest car in the universe. Maybe the Race Start MCT helps though. Id like to see more data first though.
(For all those curious this has to do with me stating that the Boss 302 is quicker in the 1/4 than a C63 stock for stock... I know I know.. Blasphemy
)

I will give you my VBOX. I will give you 20 tries to get a 3.7 in your stock C63 on street tires. You will never see 3.7 0-60. I will give you my VBOX if you do, if you cant you give me back my VBOX plus the $500 I paid for it.

)I tried using the silly iphone dyno app for kicks and recorded a 4.23 0-60 on the street (haven't used at the track)...not sure how accurate that is though it seems in line with published 0-60 times. (my car is tuned)

@propain. Not a "fanboy" at all. Quoted the 3.9 time that Car and Driver posted in 09 with a stock C63 and your response is that "sometimes they are really high and sometimes they are really low" I guess it matters which side of the fence your on when that theory applies. Nope no "fanboy" here just someone who knows when he here's a whole bunch of BS.

I'd really like to try a vbox out at my next track day to see how it works. Is it simple to use (plug and play?)

Yes, just plug it in. 4.2 is pretty close for stock 0-60 on streets. Probably 4.0-3.9 on streets with the tune. Its hard to launch without spin, even harder with the tune.

I really do take all the articles with a grain of salt. I dont know.. there was a lot of eye rolling, and big caps and head thumping in your post. You seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder about it. My bad if im reading it wrong.

I'm pretty sure the 3.7 sec is with a 1 foot rollout wich usually takes off 0.3 sec to the 0-60 time. very likely also that the test was done on a drag strip with super stick black top. that's the only way to get a 480 hp, 3800+ pound rear wheel drive car with 255s in the rear to grip enough to do a 3.7 s 0-60.
on normal pavement I doubt that you could replicate those numbers.
oh yeah I want a c63 coupe really bad for christmas. white w balck wheels if youre listening santa

No not at all brother. You're reading it wrong. Just a little ribbing... I happen to really like AMGs. The history, technology, performance and the brand all are reason I have owned two. Hey and the "M" in AMG is my first name. You can't beat that. We all react differently to different things. My family and myself have own Porsches to (about 8 all together)... all 911s. If you think I sound like a "fanboy" about AMGs...don't get me started on 911s. My feeling is this. I joined this forum because I’m interested in AMGs and I own one. Hey that's MY reason. I am a car enthusiast just like everyone else. But if hell freezes over and I decide to buy a POS Mustang and live in a trailer then I’ll go and join a Mustang forum. It would be interesting to learn the benefits of inbreeding. At least that's the way I look at it.... Talking about other cars on this forum is ok to a point.... but some threads go on and on about how the CTSV, 302 or whatever is this or that.... I mean who cares. I didn't join MBforums to learn about Mustangs. But hey that's just me. Everyones different.
I remember back about a year ago on this forum when people were coming on here saying that the C63 was beating the GTR stock for stock. Big debates then. There are people who just think the car they drive is the fastest or the quickest and ignore the facts and only read the articles that serve their opinion. I tend to chime in on threads like those. This really isnt one of them though because as I said, a kill is a kill, even if it was a driver error.
I love my Porshe as well.. Hell I love all cars. I was a big American Muscle racer about 10 years ago so I tend to lean a little more than others to the domestics but I truely love my AMG. Im on #2 and I think I might even get another one I have my eye on.
Either way, im here for the same reason most are. I love my AMG.

'11 C63 w/ P31
I'm with Propain on this one. Wherever they tested must of been at see level in cool temps on a grippy surface.
I don't see that 3.7 being repeated unless in the specific conditions. Even before the update C63 there was 1 magazine that ran 3.9 and I haven't seen that time posted ever again. Most run 4.1-4.4
I am sure the new tranny shaves a tenth or 2 due to the big increase in shift speed.

nice to hear from you Nick. The reallity is that my 09 c63 sedan is just so much more practical than a coupe that I don't see myself buying a new 2012 coupe paying big $$$ to end up with a slightly faster car with a better interior but that is much less practical than a sedan.
I personnaly like the front bumper from the 09 better than the 12. I think it looks more aggressive w the double side vents and the angular / pointy lower part of the front bumper.
If you're in Montreal give me a call and we'll grap a bite to eat.
I'm sure the 3.7 time is with a 1 foot rollout so .3sec more for real time to 60.
