Could it be the 88 degree temp what making my car slow?

it could be the temps but many others are having a difficult time getting decent track numbers out of the 63.

i sure wish some of the dyno queen 63's would get out to the track soon!!!

Really sucky 1/8 mile imes???

maybe e63's are really slow? just kidding I am a jerk

60ft times are bad.What track was this?

Yeah we are PATHETIC, comon sixty three guys get out and run some 1/4 mile's . I think your reaction times are where the prob is , should be .30 or less?

Any stock 55’s have times at California Speedway? My best time there was 13.12 at 109 on contie's. My 60 was 2.12, 1/8 was at 8.58 at 85.43. I think it's a slow track or perhaps the e63 is slow. Please post your stock 55 times at Cal speedway.

Reaction times have nothing to do with it.The 60ft's and low MPH numbers are whats bad.60ft's are killing his et's,the low mph could be from a few different things.Weather,altitude or low hp from car.Any or all of those can be a huge factor.

Your car is fine.Fontana is slow,very slow.Your car runs the same as the other 63 that was there and also our 55's that have been there.

so the clock has not started when the light turns green? Sorry I guess I figured the driver is simply sitting there then a half seconds ticks off. I hvae never run a drag so please forgive my ignorant post. Thanks

Correct.The timer doesnt start until you break the light beams.You can sit there as long as you want or even leave before the light turns green and red light,it wont change the et or mph readings of your run.

No need for apologies here either.

Drag racing can be addicting so beware!

damn......... I should have gotten the sl550, hope the e63 trade in value aint that bad. Rather have an old man car than a slow *** race car.

Screw the SL550. For the same money you can pick up a low miles '06 SL65.

Well I got beat by 2 old muscle mustang 5.0 with like 5 feet wide tires with loud *** exhaust..... BUT i beated a modified 2005 mustang cobra and a lancer evo, wich makes me feel a little bit better.

WOW! Those are some undesirable times . I would contemplete shootin' myself in the mouth with those times . ..

Better luck next time.

Be patient and practice. My first drag was a 12.9 @ 112mph. After a few practices , I have her down to 12.6 @ 114
I didn't even remove my filters yet and just broke 2,500 miles so there is still some break-in time room. The 63 is plenty fast for a 4,600lb car..just keep at it!!

What track was this at?

Englishtown, NJ

What kind of practice do u need? I thought all it was for a E63 was to slamed the throttle down on the last yellow till green.

Another thing is it could be only the new model e63 that are slow, Mines was manufatured 08/06 and dereks was also a new model. So everyone should post there dyno times, track times, AND manufactures date.

WoW this is the fastest E63 I've heard of? got the slip? & the trap of 114 hmmm gotta see this.

4600 lbs ??? I thought these things weighed in at a svelt 4300 ???

12.6 is slow at E-Town. There are stock 55's running at 11.9X there. This implies that the 55 is much faster than the 63. Of course this issue is still open, as I have not seen a 55 run faster than my slow times at Cal Speedway of 13.1 @ 109 (mind you I’m inexperienced and this was my first time at the track for some 20 odd years). If you have better stock 55 times at Cal Speedway please post. The general statements relative to times at different tracks is meaningless. As far as this run at e-town is concerned its proof that the 55 is faster (should be qualified with 55 times on the same day). However, I want some evidence at my local track, which I have not seen.

JohnnyE63 ......1. You could practice getting your 60'better
which will result in better trap times and slightly better
mph
2. My manufactures date is 8/06 so I guess I got any early production also.

Vader....When I weighed her it was 4,335(which included full tank of gas and baseball equipment in trunk)plus my body weight of 250 so total weight down the 1/4 was 4585...I rounded up to 4,600

If anybody has seen my previous attempts to scan my slips it borders on pathetic but here goes again.

Few weeks back I posted a 12.7....Don't know why you would be skeptical about a .1 sec improvement. the mph is a 1.5 sec increase..also not out of the ordinary. You have to remember many of the E63 are not even properly broken in yet. My old '02 Z06 ran much better after about
5,000 miles. and yes I also agree talk is cheap. That is why I visit E-town. I try to get there at least once a month. I am just providing honest feedback with MY car.
