MY17 C63s Sedan
I saw a video on Youtube ( forgot the link ) that shows how to basically get closest to the claimed 3.8 for the C63S.
In the video, they put it in race mode with traction control turned off and then do the race start. Only then did they get 3.9 ( hence closest ). This was on normal street and normal OEM summer tires.
All the other tries ( namely S+ and Race with sport handling ) have failed to even get close to the claimed 3.8-3.9 seconds.
I have not tried this myself. Can anyone confirm this?
EDIT: they were using auto shift.

2015 C63S
Ambient temperature would play into this a bit as well as fuel type.
You Cali folks and your 91 Octane Vs the EU Spec testing done with 98 RON (for example) would make for a good difference aside from IAT and Tire Temperature as even the PSS hates being cold or cold surfaces.
The C63 WAS NOT one of these cars but a lot of modern models are using a "Roll out" which is typically hidden in the fine print to get their Sub 4.0 0-60 times.
Looks from the pole that most people are getting in the correct range given they're likely in different parts of the country (possibly World) and are not all likely running 93 Octane or 98 RON fuels (or anything inbetween).
Just food for thought when comparing Red Apples to Green Apples.

had the C63S sedan at 3.7 with PSS and they had the Alfa at 3.6 but on much sticker tires.

'15 C63S
t0-60 times vary greatly depending on the air temperature, road temperature, road type/condition, tire type/condition, tire pressure, and so on.
That being said, the most important factor to a quick 0-60 time in a car with as much power as the C63S has is the driver. Getting off the line takes skill, even with launch control.
