Hello all,

I wanted to share this remarkable feat with fellow performance enthusiasts. This is very unique and somewhat historical in the sense that very few other sedans (and coupes) can run high 10's with no power adders like F/I or NOS.

A few other drivers are running low 11's at nearly the same trap 122-125 mph, with the same mods.

The previous N/A record holder just added more aggressive cams to his engine, so he will likely break into the 10's on motor as well.

Here's the link to the thread on MBWorld.org where this is being discussed:

I know some will doubt that a 4000 lbs car (with driver and gas), maybe 100-150 lbs less with the few weight reduction mods these cars are employing, can run in the 10's on just motor with bolt ons. It's even more amazing because these cars are putting down between 450-475 rwhp, tops!

Anyway, I'm just a proud C63 owner who still loves the 5th gen Camaro and wanted to show you guys what's going down in another platform.

For point of reference, bone stock C63 AMG's will run mid-high 12's if the weather is not very good, and if the car is using street tires. In good weather, some stock C63's have run 12.1-12.2 ETs. No stock C63 has broke into 11's, even with the help of drag radials.

A C63 is running very strong and the weather needs to be pretty good, with good track prep for a C63 to run high 11's with just a tune and DR's.

C63's with just a tune and street tires can trap 120 mph in the 1/4.

The reason C63's gain so much from just a tune is because C63's come from the factory (AMG) DETUNED. The throttle blades only open 62%. This engine, the M156 makes over 500 bhp when the throttle blades open up to 87%. The E, S, CL, CLS, SL, and ML 63's all come with a M156 engine that has throttle blades that open up to 87%. The C63 is the only de-tuned M156 car.

So, it's very common for the C63 to make 50-60 rwhp with just a tune.

Anway, just providing some facts to add some background for the C63.

Edit: I just noticed in the vid of the record-holding car that the passenger seat was removed. It weights 62 lbs. So that is some further weight reduction for this car. Just wanted to put everything on the table. Still extremely impressive.
