September 7, 201412 yr #1 Just curious guys, as I was behind a C63 while driving the BF, and this guy was hammering it hard, and I have to admit the thing was moving.I was sort of trying to plant it in the BF after him, but you could tell during the short squirts that the C63 had my measure quite easily.Though I was thinking if I was in my FG, I feel like I could have possibly kept up with the C63, or at least kept up enough to be a nuisance...lolAnyone had a traffic light stoush with a C63 in a stock FG??I am sure even if the C63 got you etc...it wouldn't have been a humiliating loss...(well I hope not...lol)
September 7, 201412 yr #2 The 6.2l 358kw? I had a run with 1 on my 415rwkw tune and was still very suprised how it kept with me till I hit my stride and started slowly pulling away once I clicked from 3rd to 4th.
September 8, 201412 yr #3 Mm the c63 would have ya in a stock fg.. They go. And when you reach a corner forget about it!! Edited September 8, 201412 yr by Lennox
September 8, 201412 yr #4 I have, was fairly even off the line with the little huffer but it was all over once the big v8 begun to stretch its legs. Its alot more powerful smaller car. Makes you appreciate the bullsh*t low down torque our cars make though. I was expecting to get munched tbh.Also they have an extra cog as well dont they? Edited September 8, 201412 yr by barnz
September 8, 201412 yr #5 Stock c63 does 11.9 I belive the fastest a stock fg t has gone is 12.6 so that sorta puts it in perspective.
September 8, 201412 yr #6 Author I have always liked the C63, compact car with allot of power, and apparently the next generation will run the twin turbo V8, and I can only imagine what sort of power levels you would be able to get out something like that tuned etc...I'm definitely a fan...
September 8, 201412 yr #7 Yeah but what's a C63 worth?And then you gotta be able to afford to run one.I think we do OK with our turbo taxi's!
September 8, 201412 yr #9 Author Actually, I think the drive away price might be around the 180K mark...lol...You are right though, for the price you pay for our cars, you really can't beat the bang for buck ratio.
September 8, 201412 yr #10 Bang for boost is pretty great but remember it's not all about performance
