How would my E63 do against an 06 F430 spider? My car has charcoal delete, res delete and EC tune, F430 stock.

F430 will walk you for sure. If you against F360 you should be fine but F430 is much faster.

PACougar

I think it'll be pretty close, run him and video the results!

RaFFi ///AMG

I vouch that it will also be pretty close. (I think he might take you though)

A friend of mine just ran an F430 Spyder last Friday night from a 70mph roll to ~145. He has a '13 GT with just K&N and axle-back mufflers. He claims he pulled on him the first time and hung dead even the second. Sounds kinda odd to me.

I need to get together and run him.

Pretty sure the F430 runs a 12.0 (or very near it) from the factory... Convertible might be slightly slower, so 12.2 assuming he gets a perfect launch. I raced an E63 at Bowling Green last year, and the best he could do was 12.7 (but he had zero traction, 2.2xx 60' times). I won every race, but our trap speeds were identical.

Race the F430 from a dig and see what happens! Your torque should give you an advantage. On paper, I should have lost to the 2009(?) M6 Cabriolet that I raced, but I nailed the launch and beat him at last year's half-mile competition. He was surprised that I won, but a good sport.

Seems that I would probably lose the race but hoping his horrible driving will award me the win as my driving skills are superior. Originally when we discussed the race we were to race for pink slips but I have just one condition, race with 4 adults in the car LOL. Let's see when this race is gonna happen. I will post videos from my iPhone.

RaFFi ///AMG

Race for pink slips? Throw some mods on there quick including a 200 shot of nitrous, race till you win and blow the engine. Scrap the E class, keep the rarri. Profit.

vcci

If I believed there was any chance of him giving up the pink slip I'd be throwing twin turbos on my ride but this is an old friend which I know very well, chances are he'll back out of the race when he realizes it'll cost him an extra gallon of gas.

What's the best way to launch my E63?

I read somewhere here that for best results one should launch in S mode with ESP on and comfort suspension mode. Is that correct?

i would of loved to race one.... i beat a 911 twin turbo porsch the other day by like a car.. and that thing was fast and LOUD

taurran

70mph roll? Damn. Things have changed a bit since I was into roll races.

HeissRod

It wasn't a planned race; just a chance encounter on the freeway.

AMG E Power

Had to be the 996 twin turbo model cuz we would get walked by a 997

PACougar

Speak for yourself

AMG E Power

lol 997 turbo can trap 130 in the 1/4 mile bone stock on street tires.
No one will leave it stock either if they really want to experience the true Potential of the car. Good luck with that

PACougar

Ya ok, I bet there are a lot more stock ones out there then modified. I've walked one on the freeway, but my car is barely modified so it must have been a fluke.

MIKESV8

I think you'd get a Porsche 996 or 997 TT on the freeway (you E55 modded guys) I've done a pull against a stock 997TT in my E63 a few weeks ago and it was pretty close, he didn't pull on me all that hard. They're like the 09'-11' GTR's with their mid-range power stock.

PACougar

They're fast no doubt, but they're not unbeatable.

porches dont want to race me , pussies

If left bone stock, sure. They're fricking insane with a few g's worth of mods thrown in.

PACougar

You know what I mean
