GLC63 AMG S Coupe
Best setup for drag racing
Now that my GLC63 AMG S coupe is fully run-in I'm-planning visit to our local drag strip to establish its baseline.
I have the following questions:
1- What is the best drive program to use? S+, race or Individual?
2- Should the ESP be on or off
3- Should I let the car shift automatically or use the paddle shifters?
4- Should I use Race Start?
Thank you in advance for sharing the info.

GLC63 AMG S Coupe
Last Friday I tried my stock GLC63 at 1/4 mile with the following results:
ET - 11.757 sec MPH - 117.43 60 fy - 1.75
That was using launch control (race start).
Without it, the best ET was 12.2 12.3 sec.
I found this in our manual:
ET - 11.757 sec MPH - 117.43 60 fy - 1.75
That was using launch control (race start).
Without it, the best ET was 12.2 12.3 sec.
I found this in our manual:
"You can adjust RACE START to suit the road conditions: the engine speed can be adjusted by pulling one of the steering wheel gearshift paddles."

Does anybody know if that means that you can raise the RPM of the engine at the Race Start?
Mine went up to 3500 RPM before releasing the break.
art?

The E63 I drove at ADA adjusted this way. I cant remember the increments or if it stores it in memory but it was easy to change the launch RPMs with the paddles. The C43 guys like to keep RPMs below 3000k but they are brake boosting. '63 4 matics may respond a little differently.
