First time taking the beast to the track!

If anyone from New England area wants to meet up that would be nice to get a wolf pack to hit up import wars at New England dragway.

I usually run ms109 in my old e55 but was catless.Do you guys think it's ok to run that on the c63 with stock exhaust?

That's about right for a stock car. How do you have "major heat soak" on the first run?

For what it's worth, my car always puts up its fastest times when I'm lucky enough to be running hot laps at the dragstrip. Usually takes until the 3rd or 4th run in a row without cooling down before it puts up good numbers.

I was literally jammed in traffic for an hour with car running trying to get into the place.there was a huge car show and had 5 lanes trying to get through the gate.

I was there for 2 hours and got 2 passes.both crazy the excat same time 12.20 on both runs.

I'm Happy I have a solid baseline of 12.20 with 2.0 60fts to work with for when I go back.

I can tell u on the way home the car feels peppy and super sharp on the throttle response​.
