Modded e55 vs modded c63 opinions!

Hey guys just wondering how my car would stack up against a modded 2012 c63... Here's my mods, stage 2 tune, mid length headers, 83mm pulley, heat exchanger and a new ic pump that c63 has long tube headers, tune and intake.
What do you guys think

Id guess probably dead even. You'll probably pull a little up top.

Do you think that if my car is running healthy which it is always maintained never beaten on... That I could win 40-100 roll?

ya I think you would by alittle bit. leave in "s" mode ...hold left paddle drop to lowest gear... floor it and let car shift itself..


1/4 tank of gas... before you go do a sneaky ecu reset.

Do you think I should drop from 3rd to 2nd? And let the car shift after

Roll Race at 40mph the C63 will take it
Lighter - better transmission

Dig race the E55 will take it
More torque. You can build a big lead fast before the C63 begins to reel.

I had a Stage 3 E55 with 562whp and it was safe to say my C63 with 481whp felt faster from a roll.

My bet would be on the C63 with the headers and tune. Less weight, no heat soak worries and a much better transmission for roll racing.

I've watched 63's with headers and a tune dyno around 480whp

With the current mods I have shouldn't I be around if not more than power and a lot more torque?

You certainly have more power. But don't be surprised if he jumps. Those things are no joke with headers/tune. Down here at PBIR, I've watched them run mid 11's @ 125 with headers and a tune.

I'd run him down low so you can get the most out of your torque advantage.

That works best when you're driving and need to suddenly overtake.

In a actual planned 60-130 roll race. you want to start in 2nd gear, leave in S mode and just mash the gas. The car will do the rest. 40 mph is really low c63 has advantage.

If your car has to drop down gears ,you lose a lot of time. Better to start direct in gear and mash the gas.

I roll raced one when i had a 77mm pulley and a tune and pulled pretty hard on it but I think it was stock. I would think you would win but I could be wrong. I also think he's going to suffer more from the added weight of passengers than you will. And Max. H is right, try and race from 60.

I'm now assuming I'm wrong but I never did the "sneaky ecu reset" ever since I installed my EC tune. Doing this wont override it back to stock?

Nah it doesn't I believe it just resets the shifting points back to aggressive factory form becusse the car adapts to drivin style

Correct. I specifically asked Eurocharged this after getting my tune.

Does it make a noticeable difference from your experience?

Wow for 3 years now I thought I would interfere with my Eurocharged tune. Glad you all were able to clear that up.

As max said put in 2nd and S drive and go, I would be worried of spinning more than anything else.
