C63s. Quarter mile

Heat soak might not be the correct word to describe it. To me it's the normal affects on a turbocharged engine in high ambient temperatures.
Hot air is less dense, meaning there aren't as many oxygen molecules per unit volume entering/exiting the turbo. The turbo then must run harder to keep up with the desired power output; it can't keep up, so ECU alters timing to prevent engine knock.
End results is the engine is down on power full throttle, high-end power.

20 min track session.... you are ON boost and OFF boost so the i/c system has time to recover.
1/4 mile Wide Open Throttle for 12 seconds you are WIDE OPEN THROTTLE FULL BOOST for the entire run.
A difference.

I would be very disappointed if MB could not engineer a 12 sec run and on most road courses the straights are longer than 12 sec runs.

I haven't heard of anyone testing these cars talking about power loss yet (like they did on the new Vette Zo6) and quite a few magazines have tested them and with pros driving both straight line and track.

Just speculation. We'll see when we get some data-logging on some runs.... and after we run these cars in 40 deg weather...... good DA...... if MPH picks up DRAMATICALLY.... I suspect this is the issue.

I really hope AMG designed the charge cooler to be sufficient for a full 1/4 mile run.
As others have said, we shall see when the when fall and winter come.

I believe the C63S stock boost is 16 or 17psi....... which is a pretty healthy boost level..... and would require considerable water cooling system.
The E55 guys required i/c system upgrades when upgrading to less boost than this......
Not totally apples to apples.... but from a cyl pressure side this is important.

On the track, you're constantly getting cooler, fresher air because you're traveling at speed. The W204 definitely had cooling issues at the track that caused limp mode, but the W205 has a twin liquid-air intercooler which in theory should perform very well on a road course.
Of course, none of this is an issue when temps are 75F and below. I've been racing turbocharged cars for over a decade and heatsoak at the track during summer months is always a battle - even with modern turbocharged engines.

Hey guys, i'm doing my 1st ever roll race tomorrow "1/4 mile" c63s on Dunlop 265/35zr19. Any advice on when to drop the hammer. Rules are I can't go past 30mph before the Christmas tree, but I want to know if I step on it will I get enough for the 30 mph limit or should I wait. No practice run here.

12 years ago? Come on...
How many factory stock cars under 100k were running 11's? Let alone sedans. The way you word it sounds as accords and camrys were even squeaking 12's from the factory in 2003.
the 2003 Cobra - was capable of 12's from the factory with a good driver.
The C5 Z06 - 11's were only possible in the hands of the few, i.e. ranger and J-rod.
The Viper - Not as familiar with as the C5Z, but I am sure 11's were possible.
M5 - low 13's, maybe high 12's with an great driver and conditions.
E55 - 11's was surely not the norm for a stock E55.
RS6 - High 12s
Jag S-type R - 13's
2004 CTS-V - 13's (maybe 12's if the factory rear didn't blow)
We have now been spoiled with this new hyper performance generation of cars, but lets not have reality escape us.

Still been done sorry say.
