So I found the Speed Limiter on the base C63 legally.
I had a 2:06 on this lap but had to slow way down to backmarkers when they were dropping the anchors way before T1. I had 1 clean lap all day. Congo lines everywhere.
Pads (F/R): EBC BlueStuff NDX/Stock, Castrol SRF
Everything else stock.
275/35-18 Falken RT660 on all corners.
Also put the base C63 on the scales, 3996lb on half tank of gas.
(Lighting pack, Nav and Panoramic Roof)
Probably the last track day I'll run in this car... Daytona only worked cause there's a full lap to cool down the brakes.

Living the dream........ you took your c63 on the actual DAYTONA track. Love that photo of ur car up on the bank with the Porsche 🤤🤤🤤
Interest to hear your thoughts on how the RT660’s performed. I’m thinking of trying them out since the RE-71R’s have been discontinued and the RE-71RS hasn’t been released in NA yet.
Based on your OP post is it safe to you wouldn’t recommend the EBC blue stuff pads?

I'm not sure if the RE-71R ever worked that well on track, maybe 1-lap qualifying/TT. And definitely not on a heavier car.
The RT660 is more suited for track stuff IMO.
Even better Goodyear Supercar 3s/3Rs are probably the best non Hoosiers track tires out there right now.
EBC Blue was the only off the shelf stuff for the silver caliper. If you have a C63S, EBC makes an orange. Then there are G-Loc/Pagid/PFC etc where you can send your pad shape in to get track pads.
I'm looking into getting into a 19'+ C63S, the e-diff would probably help putting power down on these chonks of a car. The bigger brakes DEFINITELY help with track stuff.
