Race start is simple to engage on the newer Vehicles versus w212. Also race start launches harder on the newer vehicles. On the track I've seen them get low 1.7 consistently versus our mid-to-high 1.8 with RS.

With tires I was consistent low 1.7s with Race Start in my RWD W212.

It may be awd vs rwd thing as counterintuitive as that sounds. I've done over 50 race starts always high or mid 1.8 with 4matic. My friend in his unmodified 2018 E63 got 1.71 using michelin alpin winter tires in October 6, ~40F. No burnout no drama no tire spin. 11.19 at 124. The new 4matic is better, new rs is better at least for the all-wheel drive and new transmission probably better.

I think with rare exception, it’s an entire W212 thing because you’re right about these cars (including RWD) typically running mid-hi 1.8s. The W213 does launch better for the average driver but it still hasn’t proven to launch any quicker when comparing top times.

camaro ZL1 against my W213. He could hang but ended up overtaking him.

got real salty when he was behind me and we caught up to traffic...if only I was in a wagon

I've toasted Mustangs......only to have them catch me several lights down. Kid rolls down the window and ask, "what kinda car is that?" A fast one is always my response!!! A large majority of people have no clue what an E63S is or can do.

Never will understand the insecurities that causes people to behave that way.
Had this with some guy in a new Honda Civic on Monday morning. Tool...
