So you won one and lost one so I'd say that the cars are about even. Do the ecu reset then go back out and make two more runs.

Also what gear were you in?

Well, apparently on the second run he let go of the throttle to even out the cars, I'd say the C63 is definitely faster, but mine is probably faster low end. We'll run again soon enough.

Also, I was in 2nd.

Based on the way our cars are geared I'd say 40mph is a bit much for 2nd gear. You will be better off making 3rd gear runs a 45mph. Make sure that you do the sneaky ecu. Go out and make some solo 3rd gear @ 45 runs and you will see what I mean.

Very nice! There's no sleeping on either car, really. Though with FI, you've displacement on demand, so the ceiling goes a bit higher.

Congrats to both of you.

A stock Mustang GT would have ate both of ya'll!

Fixed!

Race was great fun, was definitely closer than most races against bmws which all got destroyed...

I was really thinking the race would be closer and we would have to watch videos to see who the winner was. Did both races in M with traction off.

I felt the first race was perfect, shifted at all the right times, left right at the horn, Watching the video we both took off at the same time and didn't seem to be any jumps or stuff like that.

I ruined the second race, as you can see in the vid before the third honk I was at 42 and was in front by what felt like a foot, so for what ever reason I took my foot off the gas and thats when he hit the 3rd horn either way was nice to see my car kept up and I felt like i was closing the gap!

incase anyone is looking for the videos;

C63s with headers and a tune run low 11s @ 125ish or so. I think I've seen some higher traps with more exhaust work and higher octane tune (127+).

E55s with headers, pulley, tune run about the same range (low 11s @ 120s range) . The trap might be slightly lower, hence why I think the C63s have better top end.



I would like for you two to go at it again after you both get some more mods.

FI and then the 63 with the dual clutch both cars have tricks against each other and it was a fun race!

I have my headers sitting in the garage while I try to locate a trustworthy speed shop who 1. knows european cars and 2. isn't deliberately trying to rip me off (Titan motorsports in Orlando). Might get a LSD down the road but well see!

Nice race! Congrats! Never race in M mode.. M mode is for carving canyons when you need to paddle shift…. Our cars are substantially slower in a timed race in M mode. There is lag when you shift manually because you hit rev limiter or you need to short shift. So its's a waste….

Leave it in automatic mode, start from 2nd gear 50-60 mph and you will crush him like that probably a little worse. Starting at 40 mph is the basement of when you want to start a race in 2nd gear. I don't advise starting at that speed. But, still very well done congrats to both you! You have quick cars.

Hey buddy, Sorry I don't agree at all. 2nd gear is actually a bit low for a 40mph rolling start. It's seems to be right at the bare minimum speed for 2nd gear… If you start at any lower of an rpm, The engine has to work its way into the upper range of power band and you are losing time during a emergency race situation.

Talking stock E55 or lightly modded of course.... Maybe your super beast just spins all over the place so you need to start at higher gear. But stock this method I can assure is just right. Rolling start 2nd gear 50mph - 60mph is absolutely crushing to your opponents in a highway roll. Your rpm will be higher but the car responds absolutely immediately. and when the tranny shifts to 3rd its bye bye time for whoever your racing all the way up to 130mph where the trans goes into 4th. But by then the race is usually done.

Awesome pulls fellas!

I agree with this for a stockish E55. My car is a dog at 40mph. 55-60 it's a whole nother car. When it hits 3rd, it's like the owner took the leash off - throws you back in the seat at the 85mph gear change

Ouch ! Way not to represent the e55. U have to get headers and a pulley and even if he has headers u will beat him. I have raced 4 c63 that all had ARH headers tune x pioe ect... And beat them every time from 40-130. As far has the guy saying a c63 will trap 125 with just headers that's false.

c63s with tune and headers (no other perfomance mods) DO trap 125+... there are 2 guys on the forum (dodger and Mthis) that have trapped 130.7 and 128mph and they both run in the 10's... dodger is at 10.66... i doubt youre beating them.

and a bunch more trapping 125+ in the 11s

I've had both cars and standard e55 with headers and 180mm pulley feels about the same in speed to me as c63 with tune and LTH ... remember the c63 is about 400-600 lbs lighter stock (depending on which weight source you look at)

Well I stand corrected. A lot of those cars are gutted DRs and spraying. Your e55 was probably heat soak as soon as u press the pedal with 180mm pulley lol maybe one day when u r in Miami with your c63 we can line them up then I can show u what I Mean. No need to lie lol only car that has ever beat me in a roll race was urbamworms cts V making 700 whp. Maybe I have a factory freak who knows.

why are you making stuff up? not one of those cars was "spraying" if you are meaning nitrous. if you want to see a c63 that is spraying then looks at "dads c63"... he runs 10.13 @139.77

http://www.dragtimes.com/Mercedes-Be...lip-21855.html

and nope i wasnt heat soaking in my e55, had decent cooling as was making 9 whp more than you at 515 whp

not saying you havent ever beaten a c63 but your acting like a c63 cant beat an e55.... its been done many times... when modded they are very evenly matched cars

Yes they are close. I would have not even posted if I didn't beat more than one. Maybe my power is more consistent being I have a 5 gallon trunk tank with two pumps running. I know most here don't do that mod. Anyway let's just leave it at they are both closely matched. Good day mate, let me know if u r near tampa ever seriously.'

will do bro, but then i might be having a 75 shot on my car as seriously considering it as this is soon to be my fun car, with e63 4matic getting daily duties

we can always do some fun runs with the nitrous on and off though, then if i blow my motor you can give me a ride to the nearest shop lol

Lol sweet I want no part of you if u bring e63s Amg. If u tune that I have a snowballs chance in hell lmao

You guys may be right it's been awhile since I've driven a stock E55. I just remember making 45-50mph solo runs in 3rd and letting it kick down gave me the most seat of the pants acceleration sensation vs 2nd gear @ 45mph

Maybe not a roll race but you will give a tuned E63/S AWD a run for its money in a 1/4 mile race
