Okay... so I go to the Mercedes Dealership and all the salesman are standing outside to give us
the usual greeting... LOL! First thing I said to them... "I'll race any car you have on this lot over in Gopher Canyon!"
Man did that spark off the male testosterone among everyone. The older guys didn't really know much about the CTR, but the young guy knew and said, "that's a race car man...".YEP . E30 Tuned ~ 3150 lbs and very experienced driver. Before all this happened though, I was on the twists when a C63 S passed me up ... then we came to the curve area and I was on him the whole way through. I couldn't pass because traffic in the other lane was too dense. As we get out of the curves he stops to turn left and flips me off as I pass by... LOL! I mean I was like nearly bumper to bumper on his ass... So all N all... which car wins at the track... and lets say both very good drivers....? I know the 63 S will eat me up in the straights but the game changes in the twists. Sad how some people underestimate a CTR because it's a Honda :/. I'm being very general when I say 'track'.

Real World 0 - 60 numbers (like i care about 0 - 60) but anyway >
Show you how flowered up the numbers are for these cars... never seen a sTOCK C63 S hit under 4 sec 0 - 60... not in California anyway with 91 Octane A tuned one yes... so it amazes me how e.g., Car&Driver gets these numbers via racing the car in the both directions and taking an average. I had a Mustang GT 10A, and the best I got on 91 Octane here in SoCal was 4.5 sec. I haven't really seen any better than that except some PPKG1 10A at the track with the pressures lowered hit 3.99... well according to what he said... no proof though.
