Hey,

potentially stupid question, but I won’t let that stop me - I bought a C63 about a week ago now, so I’m still learning how to get the most out of it. Assuming for now we ignore the M mode, if I’m in S and want to accelerate as fast as the car will allow, is it a case of plant the pedal and the car takes care of the rest? I only ask as I’ve had cars before which went faster feeding the pedal in. But they were neither autos or high capacity.

cheers in advance!

Thanks for such a detailed reply, it’s always good to know what the cars thinking so I can work with it. The esp seems to be great for tighter back roads where you really don’t want to be kicking out even a foot or two, but on wider roads coming away from roundabouts it did seem to kick in a little too often for my liking. Early days though! Generally I’m really impressed

I have noticed with this car especially from a roll or at highway speed it is better to roll into the throttle than just mashing it. When mashing it I get a slight delay with throttle then it will drop two gears and go assuming I am not in manual mode. I have a 2010 car. My car is tuned as well.

From a dig you can pretty mash it assuming you are in Sport mode (with track control off then more of a roll)

Is this your experience as well?

One of the top guys at AMR told me that on my tune, the TB goes to 100% when the foot is to the floor. Ill assume that would be the same for everyone who has their tune...so for me, As soon as oil temp is white (176*) I roll S+ with Sport traction, and by Thors hammer I floor that *****. Its kinda odd though, once you get used to the brutal acceleration, its like even though ive got the hammer down, the computer is rolling in for you so you dont induce wheel slip in a 500hp car without a differential and then die. Its not a criticism, my Self Preservation Module (SPM) data logs show the computer is doing an adequate job. The LSD mod did wonders for the cars launch and hard cornering. Its got to be helping WOT performance.Be careful finding the cars limits if it is not LSD equipped. Every time i think about the damn LSD i get infuriated that beancounters decided it was not a neccesary component. If your buying this kind of car it shouldnt even be a question IMO....and in my case, it was a question answered wrong by my salesman. I coulve done KWs or have a healthy chunk for those HREs that are going to miracle themselves onto my car sooner than later...if every c63 had an LSD i bet that feeling would not have to be as intense which would definitely result in a performance increase. Maybe in a BS its mitigated due to the widebody tires, but im at least about $60K or so short on picking up a surely haggered BS to find that out for myself....
