My Eurocharged C63 S 1/4 Mile Time
best one of the night was #2 of 3 runs...
Gorgeous evening = big crowd.
Impressed with the results for first time out and only 500 miles on the tune.
Need to work on my 60'.
There's at least a 1/2 second left here for me to gain with proper launch and stickier tires.
Can't wait to get rid of these 265s.
Super impressed.
Time to put the kids down :-)

Kudos to Eurocharged for the hard work.

Solid!
That is pretty deep in the 11's for stock wgt/tires/etc...... no goofy ice-chest water coolers with water pumps in the trunk
A legit 11 sec street car all day long.
Sticky tires good weather...... low 11's.

That is a really good E.T., particularly given that with practice and better tires, you should be able to trim another .1 to .2 off you 60' time.
However, I am confused about the trap speed. With that E.T. and the limited traction, I would have expected a trap speed in excess of 122. Did you feel any drop off in power at higher RPMs?
Any other thoughts on why the trap speed was not higher?
Thanks for being a pioneer ;-)

It's due to the torque characteristics of the M177 vs M156 if your comparing 204 and 205.
Quick E.T's with a corresponding somewhat or seemingly low terminal speed are common to high torque output powered vehicles.

Thanks for sharing 
It looks like you must have had a lot of wheel spin to get that time with its corresponding speed. You start spinning the tires it will make the track shorter to get the speed up. The 11.7 is impressive though, that thing is a rocket. With a better launch you should be able to get into the 120's with no problem.

Might be heat-soak on the top end, killing HP up top, pulling timing?
The E55 guys in stock form suffer from this on the quarter mile. Aftermarket cooling is their fix, or better bigger water pump........ and better DA/amb temps.
What was the amb air temps on these runs?
would be nice to have some DATA...... AFR's, AIT's, timing, boost........

But in this case it's a Eurocharged tuned C63S, not a stock one. The time is good, the trap is stockish.

-only about 300 miles on new tune...not sure that everything is fully learned and adapted at this point, especially above 70 MPH.
-air temp about 85 degrees
-stock tires, no pressure adjustments...running about 42 PSI
-used launch control, which means ESP was in Sport+ and the car spun once off the line and the torque kicked in....power was pulled, car short shifted to 2nd and on we went.
-3/4 tank of fuel
-track prep was minimal at best
-my first time in this car on the 1/4
Everything considered, I think she ran incredibly well...my first run was done with the car starting in 2nd gear with ESP fully off....that yielded a 12.787 @ approx 118 MPH...if I ran a second faster at the same speed, if I get all of the pieces together, this thing has a lot of time left in it if my logic is correct.
Need to start a tire fund

I would really love to run this thing in a 1/2 or full mile.
The tuned supercharged mustang 5.0 I ran with I destroyed in the last 1/8 mile...AMG did their work here.
Agreed, if not more

Heat soak is not related to engine coolant...... it is related to the intercooler coolant getting HOT under full boost on a full 1/4 mile run..... so much so that on the top end the car senses a HOT air charge and pulls timing.......... I'm just adapting what the E55 boys deal with..... you will have to data-log to see if this is happening........ a simple real time OBDII reader showing timing during the run will tell something.
IN any case I'm not being critical..... quite impressed for a stock trim/tuned cars.

Based on the 1/4 mile results from the GT-S, it appears that the GT-S trap speeds are very consistent with its mid-11 second E.T.s. Let's hope the C63S got an equally good intake design.

The 60' time is perfectly reasonable given a RWD platform with high torque levels. 1.9s is almost as good as us CLA45 guys with AWD.
I'll be honest, with how his original post about how "supra" like the C63 is with this tune, I was expecting a 122-125 trap speed. Especially given the decent 60' time.
Traction isn't a huge issue here with that 60' time, seems like the car is running out breath on the top end. Was it suffering from bad heat soak maybe???

Eurocharged did the tune as the thread title states. It simply takes practice and slight adjustments. Lower your tire pressure, make sure your AMG suspension is in comfort and run with a 1/4 tank of fuel or less. Great job.

AMGTTV8,
Did you happen to inquire with euro-charged as to whether they offer a file for race gas such as MS109?
I'll be honest, I was expecting a higher trap speed as well. Not sure what the DA was for this run but my S4 with a DA around 800 ran 11.53@121 with a 1.667 60' this is on race gas mind you and full bolt ons, etc... Estimated at around 550CHP...
1.9 60' is not bad at all for a 500+ LB/FT Torque car that is RWD. Short shifting hurts.

I'm going to be honest some of you guys are being way too intense here.
This is my pleasure not my job.
I'm not a pro, and didn't represent the performance as the cats' meow...
This was all simply a trial and error run and I thought I would be nice and share those baseline results.

AMGTTV8 - LOL. You mean you don't test drive cars all day long for a living ?)
thx for sharing....... and my time will come when I finally get some runs in mine.
Oh.. can you share the track temperature, and the elevation change of the track from start to finish? (JK).
