I was laughing my ars off watching this drag race this morning. It made me so proud to see the W204 c63 kick butt! Many viewers think the w204 C63 had a flash. But regardless it still rocked. My C63 is the same exact color lunar blue metallic.

If it was flashed it would have walked out on the M4 as well.

He was probably flashed. On the rolling run he went past 155, which is where the standard C63 is limited. Still impressive though.

Nice to see the brand new best effort from Lexus RCF can mostly keep up to a 12 year old E90 M3.

I think that presents the 205s biggest issue TRACTION. I bet with some feathering and esp off It could've easily won in every competition. The 204 in stock or even tuned form is way more consistent and predictable. old bmw and lexus were never going to be competitive with a 204. I remember driving the old v8 bmw and thinking the only thing it had over the 204 was it's transmission shift speed in manual mode. In the case of the M4 the torque spikes of an inline 6 aren't nearly as nasty as the 4.0 v8. The brake test was pretty shocking to see almost all the cars are in the same league. Need some lap time comparisons, maybe with a car that doesn't have air ride. ugh....

if it wasn't flashed that was FAST.

also, not sure about the W204, but for the W211 the 155mph speed governor seems to cut power rather than a full speed limit. when stock i was able to reach 162-165mph very easily. after that the car accelerates very slowly

Maybe because of wind resistance?

The W204 is a special car. Plus the exhaust is still the best ive heard in a Sub 100K Car when new. Good showing for the W204

This car was not tuned. I ran my tune only car against stock M4 from a roll and had 2 lengths on him from a roll 65-125 on a closed track. Higher speed I was gaining distance.

As per video, they ran to 155 it wouldn’t be that close to this speed tuned.

Either way the C63 is a beast. I recently had my car to 175 mph on a closed track and had plenty left but ran out of room.

Haha, the W205 should beat a W204 but that is optimal conditions it will do a few tenths better, no many place are optimal and all that torque with the turbo engines is hard on traction!
