C63 vs E55 Video

I just found a nice video of our E55 vs the new C63. I raced one 3 times. C63 was a little closer to me then in this video but i still beat it. I should be doing a rematch with that c63 soon.

Looks to be a pretty close race. The sound of the C63 is pure sex though. They could record that to CD and probably sell more copies than most of the new music being released today

Yeah. No way a BMW would ever beat an AMG.

I have raced with my friends c63 too...

1.two race start form stop: in 1th,2th gear we are head by head, in 3th gear i started to pass him a little, after that i stop beacuse the trafic

2. from rolling: start about 90-100km/h, c63 is a 1/3 car ahead unitl 160/km and then we stop. i think we are equal , the resaon why c63 1/3 ahead beacuse we accelerate at the same time, i hit the throttle, but the reaction of my car was slower that c63..

hey bro, i want to know what's the setting of your E55 when you rolling with c63, such as airmatic, sport mode or manual mode ? which rpm to change gear?

cheers!

When I first got my E55 I did the same thing you did, just punch it all the way. What you should've done is leave the car in S(sport) mode and with your paddle shifter, downshift to the lowest gear. After you do that you should have instant acceleration instead of that hesitation you feel just from hitting the gas. The car will shift on it's own after you do this. Give it a try, you will definetly like the result's better then what you were doing before. As far as the airmatic goes, maybe someone else can help out on this one because I usually never touch the airmatic buttons.

Any modded 55 should easily beat a modded 63 because of the 55's supercharger.
