What you need to do is lube your muffler bearings and change your haligen fluid once you do that you'll break the 4 sec barrier for sure

The problem is marketing and badges, you have been sold something with copious amounts of AMG badges applied to it, but yet it isn't an AMG. Demand your money back for false advertising and purchase a real AMG will help.

Isn't that a pretend AMG? Maybe that's why...

The problem is you have one too many W's and 20 too few C's. Subtract 1 W to get W204 and add 20 C's to get C63. Problem solved.

I know everyone has their own preferences and makes their own choices, but as a previous owner of the W202 C43, I am flabbergasted that AMG would use the C43 name on the new W205.

I am just playing especially since it was posted in this forum. I have a 335i M-sport and BMW has been using M badges a bit too much for years, but it doesn't have an badging on the outside, just a couple on the inside (which is way more than my c63 has on the inside!).

I am not a fan of the making of a light AMG model that has all the badging and generally the looks without the motor, think they should differentiate more, but still a nice car by all means!

Launch: S+ , TC on sport, hold brake while flooring accelerator past kickdown, release brake.

Elevation: all below 200ft (sea level)

Measurement: I take a video then play it back on a video player that measures time down to .00 second accuracy (best I got was 5.28s)

Extra Info: tried with 91octane and 94 octane gas with min changes.

Take traction totally off

brake stall to 3000rpms

release brake and floor accelerator at same time

race on 1/4 tank or less

you need a vbox

When your brake stalling, do you press accelerator in all the way or just till car reaches 3k rpm, and then press in all the way when you release brakes?

keep rpms at 3000k, and as soon as your foot pulls away from brake, mash the accel to the floor

traction totally off

Ive been pressing the pedal in past kickpoint then releasing the brake. I will try your method and report back, thank you for the tip.
