Thanks for all the compliments guys.

Lots of time and effort to get the car into the low 10s. Was running mid 10s a year ago.

There is another thread in the C63 section on the topic that should answer most your questions:

To answer a few here:

The 17 inch Volk wheels fit over the stock CL65 calipers and rotors, but the car no longer has stock rotors. It has Renntech prototype carbon ceramic rotors.

The car still retains its 2.65 gear but has an OS Giken LSD. At 137 mph it is going through the traps at a little under 5000 rpm in 4th gear. That just about where you want to be. A gear change would not be too helpful as this motor flattens out shortly above 5000 rpm and you don't want another transmission shift in the quarter. The car has never had nitrous on it.

Thanks again.

What can you tell us about the torque converter?

After looking at the video, I'd swear that thing has a trans brake on it.
