Short run with C63
...ran into one tonight on I-90 near Belvidere illinois...He was behind me for a while...then a lane opened up and I hammered it....I got a jump on him and then he hammered it as well....I expected him to gain on me fairly easily as we approached triple digits but he did not....not even a little...I hit the brakes at 110 and that was it...
...I had an 06' E55 before my Jag and the Merc felt quite a bit stronger on the top end than the Jag, which makes me think that stock for stock, a C63 should not pose a real challenge to the e55....

C63 should not pose a real challenge to a E55??????? I've raced a few stock C63's with my stock E55 and not only do I pose a challenge but I beat it more then a few times. As for the XJR lol, I could say with confidence that the C63 was not giving it's all otherwise you could have had a 2 car head start and it should have easily have caught up to you and eventually pass you.

if both are stock , there close to each other, but if E55 is driven on M and shifting the gear at the right time, it will pass it, however if C63 is tuned to the power of the E63 or more, as some have reached 550hp in the 63, it will be sure to smoke the E55 even if it is tuned to the same HP, some claimed to reach 0-100 in 4.0 seconds after tuning the C63 to 550hp @@ sure it is nice

if you hit the brakes at 110.. there was simply not enought time and room to pass you.
even if a car has a defecit of of 50 to 100hp, if it gets the jump it will simply take time and room to pass.
Your Jag is probably a mid 13's car and traps around 106 ish and the C63 is high 12's 111ish car. The difference in real world is not that great.
You give the jag 2 seconds head start from a 60mph roll and it will take more than 110 to show which car is faster.
I think the C63 driver should at least tried to get even with you if he wanted to run. I always let people line up and give them the benefit of the doubt.

2009 C63 Black on Black
I love my 55 but!
The C63 is a beast unleashed after the ECU tune which supposedly makes the same HP & Torque as the E63, S63, and SL63.
So far I really love my C63 too (Cannot forget and old love like the E55 though!)
