Auto X'd the C today.
anyone else do it?
This is my first time doing it in such a high powered RWD performance car. I've only driven hondas and my friends audi tts on a track/ at auto x before...so this is slightly new to me. Otherwise I've done some auto x for the last 2 years.
Anyways, the car. it is awesome! steering is perfect. very direct and quick. (although it could have more feed back), and the low end power is very good! no matter how tight the turn, there is always a great amount of power to pull you out of it.
I left the traction control in sport mode. It did very well to keep me in between the cones rather than killing them all with the rear end haha. made me look like i was a very good driver lol.
it is a very fun car to auto x. if you guys havent tried it I recommend you do!
here are some pictures.
also have one video of a not so good run from my go pro. forgot to film the others because i was getting so excited to run LOL

I cant wait to take my C out to thunder hill here in norcal this yr...want to compare it to my E46 M3. For some reason I think I will pull better times in my E46 just becuae I am more comfortable in i an d I feel more connected to the road..I like the more responsive feel but the added power of the C will be fun

I think the only challenging part with auto xing the c63 is that its quite large (or feels like it anyways) and sometimes I feel like i wont make it through the gates lol

I've AutoX'd my C63 and found the car was a little too long for the tighter courses that gets laid out, so you need to swing the tail out a little to clear the inside cones.
It's a ton of fun. I wish I had more time and dedication to run competitively again. I used to compete in a SLK32 AMG and the short wheelbase was awesome for AutoX.

So how did you fair? I get stuck in the Touring Sedan group with the CTS-V, Subaru's and EVO's. The EVO is 4 seconds clear of me but I am beating the STI's.
I got Koni's coming and going to switch to Nitto NT01's this year to be more competitive.

my region isnt huge so there arent that many crazy cars that come out. I definitely think there is a lot more to come from the car though, although it could get harder if the track had more tight turns. I think I struggled the most in the chicago box because i was afraid to hit the cones since the car is relatively big (for auto x anyways). but slaloms and figure 8s were a piece of cake
