Stock E55 vs MHP C63 (mthis)
I bumped into this guy with the MHP tuned c63 and I have a stock E55 and just installed my Cm30 pump yesterday. We did 2 runs from 0 and with my shi**y tires I couldn't get the car to launch but anyway both times lost by about 1 car and half. We also did 2 rolling starts and both times I got in front and he wasn't able to pass me both rolling races, about 1 car. We definetly hit speeds above 100mph but not on the runs from the dig. Fun runs, I really expected for it to pull really hard on the roll with the tune but not what I expected. You can see every time the gear changes on the C63 the front end of the car was bouncing hard in a downward direction I don't know why that was. This is my second night racing this car and this first time he had bad tires and this time I had the bad tires.

Man these benzes are sure fast! i wonder how my stage 3 335i would match up. Im not much of a racer though 
haha Good job non the less.
Sounds like the car is running great Meto, that pump really is amazing how consistent it keeps the power and that SC cool.

Is your car stock? Last time I raced the same car stock I took him off the line but his tires were shot. Either way the rolling didnt give me any problems.

also take not of this TIRES are on if not best mods you can do to the beast, because even in stock format you will lose traction, the more power you add the more you lose, only way to put it to use is to get some good rubber on
Peace out

mthis hasnt had a chance to chime in here I guess but on another forum he posted he was NOT running his MHP tune. He had sent it back for some reason. I beleive he was running on stock ecu during this.
Either way sounded like some fun runs

So your stock E55 lost to a stock C63 from a dig?
My tires are pretty much bold. I raced the same kid a few months back when my tires were new and his was messed up and I easily beat him from a dig, I actually have a thread on that somewhere also.

mthis sent his ECU back to upgrade from 9/10 to 10/10 shifting before MIR.
Are you coming to MIR?
Thank You

Your race sounds like what I would expect stock vs stock. Mthis is pretty good at launching the C63 as well judging from his 1/4 mi times, one of the fastest I've seen for a stock C63, and with your bad tires I'd say you kept up pretty good. From a roll, I've always believed from my butt dyno that an E55 was faster than the C63. It must be the extra torque from the E55 that allows it to lunge forward, giving you that instant 1 car lead that you continued to hold onto. At least that's what it feels like to me when I drive them back to back.
But yeah, kinda funny how you guys ran into each other like that, and how Mthis snuck up on you like a ninja haha!

man....that tuner was all over it, too funny :-)
in regards to the cm30 IC pump. I too recently installed one to replace the factory bosch pump that was failing (shutting off SC) and the car pulls much stronger all around...what a great purchase that was.
BTW...doesn't the C63 get to 60 in 3.9?

and the stock E55 in 4.2?
