Still surprised no C63's are willing to come, a shame really, I guess you will be the closest thing.

What are your mods again? Chip, lightweight wheels, intake / filter work of some sort?

What time do you recommend getting there?
I am back to a stock configuration on the wheels. I am running the VRP 530 package and an Evotech ecu tune.


I say at least45 minutes prior to gates opening. We can line up and get through tech. We need to reel off a few runs prior to the masses arriving.

Im sure we can get a C63 out . Looks like we have some great guys coming and some fast cars.

Still no damn C63...

Lol. I'm not trying to be a d!ck, but unless you are a ridiculously good driver and the driver of the C63 is sucking a d!ck while racing there is no way that you will win. It just is what it is. Your car will win around a track and the C63 will win in a straight. But then again, fun is fun. We can all race and then drink together afterwards. I look forward to meeting you, you seem like a cool guy that I could have some fun with.

I look forward to meeting you as well and a drink and chat afterwards sounds great. I hope I don't come off like a dick when I say there is virtually no difference in the straightline performance of a Dct m3 and a c63, I think people on mbworld have an exagerated view of the c63's abilities. We will find out on the first eh? .....if a c63 shows up.

Lol. From what I hear the C63's straightline performance is the same as the E55's (though I may have heard wrong), but if its the same I guess I'm subbing. Lol

It is always funny...I used to argue constantly with M5 owners, then they saw first hand how difficult launching the M5 was and why the AMG wins 1/4 mile bouts. The BMW shines back 1/8th just like the 63 it is a great run if you can launch the car.

I would imagine the DCT really helps so perhaps you can bag some AMG cars and earn some respect for the mighty M3. It will be great.

I will have fun spanking the crap oughta the E55, hehehhehehe.

MTHIS will come? Start posting this link in the C63 thread, Im certain we can geta few Soutrhern Cali C63's to come out.

DCT launches at 5500 rpm (adjustable from 4200-6200 rpm) and it doesn't dump the clutch like SMG, it modulates based on traction

Regardless it will be a blast.

Lol. If only for the reason that this will be my first time to the strip.

Juice, from what I've read on the forum you're pretty experienced when it comes to drag racing. This will be my first time out. I've wanted to do it for a while but I just never did and this seemed like a great opportunity. It would be awesome if you could give me a call when you get a chance. I have a few questions and I know that you could answer all of them. I'd do it through PM but I know that it will be done in a 5 minute phone call. 310-428-2077

Thanks

You may want to just PM the number and edit it out... when people get a hold of stuff like that on forums they tend to be malicious.

Heh, how much more can I stir it up?

The C63 guys would rather type that the car is faster than the M3.

True, but even if I.... say beat a stock E55 it won't be the same as beating a stock C63 even though the E55 is quicker than either.

Well, whatever, we will have fun

I'm basically stock. All I have is an OEM SL55 pulley. I think it adds something between 10-15 HP. Dont worry, we'll have a blast even if we get our asses handed to us.

Still waiting for that call from Juicee. Lol

Well I just realized that Juicee isn't stock... So now I'm a little worried.

And does anyone have a link to the site with the info? Do we need to pre-register for this? Or is it first come first served? Sorry to sound like a newb, but there is a good explanation for it. I am one. Lol.
