First time "Living life a 1/4 at a time"
A bunch of friends floated the idea of having a night at our local test and tune. I thought that it would be fun to take the wagon since we had never run the quarter mile before. I have to say, after getting over the intimidation it was a total blast. Seeing a brand new z06 in front of me go into the wall certainly gave me second thoughts as that would ruin your day for sure. These are bone stock, mostly full fuel tank 93 octane gas. I did not fiddle with tire pressure at a all, I literally showed up went through tech and went down the track.

Run#1 - Sport + / Traction Control Sport / 2500 RPM launch
Run#2 - Race Start / Traction Control Sport
Run#3 - Sport + / Traction Control Sport / 3000 RPM launch






NB....and yes reaction times were horrid but have nothing to do with the times.

Being new to both running at the track as well as the e63. What is a good 60' time and how do you improve that time?

I'd expect the awd versions to run 1.7s without even flinching which is why I asked about the wagons...

4674 for wagon
4431 for sedan

You would think Benz would tune the wagon a bit more to compensate for those extra 230lbs
