Power & Acceleration - Input Would Be Appreciated

Hey guys,

I've an 08 C63 with just over 60,000kms on it.

Engine / performance wise, other than a resonator delete (straight pipes) and secondary cat delete (x pipe) and an OE Tune running 98 fuel, it's completely stock.

I was wondering what the next mod is for me that will not break the bank? I am not looking to spend $1000s and 1000s of $ but would like to get the car running 0-60mph in 3.8 - 4 seconds.

Thanks in advance.

MHP headers not cats, 3 inch mids and a tune. 560-580hp.

Hey Merc,

What's the approximate cost of that if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks

From what I understand, based on MotorTrend and CarandDriver, our cars 2012+ will run 3.9 sec 0-60 every single time using the Race Start function. Given that, I think a stock car, properly launched should be able to get into your range.

I need to put my car on a dyno. I need to get new rear tires. When up against the likes of SRT8s, Mustangs etc, I don't think I am pulling as fast as I should but really don't know as have never seen other 63's doing the same. Maybe it's all in my head but I just want a little more power.

Our cars are more powerful I believe, but for us it comes down to launching properly and not losing too much off the line smoking our tires. If you don't have an LSD that would definitely help.

i know what you mean. i always seem to have have the same problem going on in my head as well, or at least i hope. the car usually feels like it is starting in second gear or something, even though in S mode. of course, passengers always tell me that the car is pulling strong. maybe it just feels differently behind the wheel? the car definitely feels stronger accelerating from a roll to me as well.
