After launching with the MTs there's no way in hell I'm going back to the Nittos, except as pure street tires. 
We have a few track rentals (local guys) coming up in the next few weeks. Although the track sucks (Trails) I should be able to do some back to back comparos.
Remember too that v2 ECU tuning makes more power than v1 (added timing, leaner A/F) and the shifts are quicker/firmer as well (most notably in the 3-4). Hell, I could always swap back to the stock Pirelli's and spin my way to a 120+.
Damn you guys just have to drive my car. Are you coming to MIR?

Pull up the covers.....I think this puts this issue to bed.
TCU/ECU tune makes this stock C63 as fast as stg3 E55(pulley/tune/headers). MIR will just further reinforce this point I think. Obviously we need a greater sample size and durability time....but so far---mission accomplished.

many of us speculated over a year ago the c63 was going to be the fastes 63 platform (because of weight) with a simple tune and that hasn't even been proven yet...but it's getting close.

Sorry Andy about the HiJack. Do you have any E55's in the shop that want the ECU/TCU tune?

Absolutely no disrespect to Enzom/Lorenzo his car is unquestionably quick/fast. I just can't wait to run my car at MIR. As we'll see on 11/15, Norwalk in October is not the same as a sea level track in November.
As of last night we've decided to forgo doing headers/exhaust/CAIs until after MIR just to show what our tuning alone can do in a favorable environment.
Thanks

I'm just confused as to the constant reference to 117-118 traps for a STOCK 55, when it's only been done by a few 55's but everytime somebody asks what's the highest trap speed a stock 55 can do, people here always seem to quote 118, when in reality the conditions ie DA were FAR from average.
Isn't this true? & the average STOCK 55 trapping more like 113-116 mph

I'm NOT nut riding or trying to take credit away from either Enzom/Lorenzo but what DA was present when these record runs were recorded in stock 55's , wasn't it somewhat negative DA ie -1500 or more

Good point Sean, though I can't answer those questions I'm sure someone on here can.
Rob/Gixer with the quickest/fastest stock E63 emailed me congrats few weeks back after v1 testing. Nice guy, wish he was still around. Anyway, I believe his best came at -1500'DA (maybe lower?).

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the DA was not that much into the negatives during Enzom's record-breaking run (11.77). I'd guess that it was maybe half of that.

Jacks 55 torched the other stock 55's at this event by 2-4 mph all day. I trapped 115.7 which was higher than all the OTHER stock 55's BUT my car had an ECU tune so not really fair.
stock 55's range from 108-113 same for 63's .. Very few cars hit 114+ unless the DA is below 1000 ft.
Jack's 55 is the fastest stock 55 West of the Mason/Dixon
To be fair, I was also torched by a stock 55, a tragic loss, but hey stuff happens. Traction SUCKED which actually aided trap speeds
