Track times isnt that good.
This was my first time at the dragstrip, completely stock only removed charcoal filter, temp outside was around 88 degress, and it was only a 1/8 mile track.
1st run slamed the throttle
reaction 0.372
60ft 2.117
660ft 5.734
mph 85.39
1/8 8.653
2nd run didnt slamed it but hit throttle kinda fast
reaction 0.492
60ft 2.469
660ft 6.101
mph 85.23
1/8 9.023
3rd run slamed the throttle
reaction 0.454
60ft 2.137
660ft 5.765
mph 85.07
1/8 8.689
4th run slamed throttle
reaction 0.414
60ft 2.110
660ft 5.743
mph 84.75
1/8 8.680
5th run put on dyno mode
reaction 0.369
60ft 2.178
660ft 5.830
mph 84.91
1/8 8.767
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!!!

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!

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!!

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.

Be patient and practice. My first drag was a 12.9 @ 112mph. After a few practices , I have her down to 12.6 @ 114

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.

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.
