Laguna Seca Laps

At AMG Academy pro course I did some open lapping in a P30 2011.

When my team switched to the C63s in the afternoon open lapping, I requested the use of an E63 because I simply do not fit in a C with a helmet. That was a good session, passed an SL, and 2 Cs:
1:50.00
1:50.46
1:50.83
1:51.67
1:55.06 (held up by a C)
Data taken with PBOX.
I own a W211 E63 and have taken that around the track in a 1:50.88 (start the video around 6:00). The W212 suspension makes it a far better handling car.

Any one else taken their E on Laguna?

Wow! I guess the P30 package does make a big difference on the suspension.
