2014 Mercedes C63 AMG 507 Edition
Well today was a fun day racing. Being the end of the year, it was extremely busy, so only managed 4 runs. Our local track, Killarney, is known for having very poor levels of grip.
I tried the TC off, brake boosted to 2500rpm, and when I let go the pedal, it just smoked the tyres.
My best run was using launch control. I managed an 11.9 run with a 60 foot time of 1.95.
Need to get some proper tyres for the new year.

I ran 225/45/17 hoosiers on enkei's and they work well. Using the 16inch clk wheels help the 60ft and they dead hook as well.

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback guys. Our local track is not well prepared, and has low grip, so I need more tyre.
Glad to hear the 275 fits.
Should I be looking at a stock offset for the 17" wheel, or do I require a different offset to my stock 19" wheels.
