Some guys with heads and big cams couldn't run that fast. His car cut sick 60' times and was setup perfectly. Also, the new LS1 cam only cars are breaking into 10's...mush lighter than a C63 but less HP too.

Crazy thing is these are bolt-ons only
It's interesting that a person with your particular taste in performance mods would notice something like this. Your car is obviously tied together very well and you likely experience so much more out of your car than many people who just add a power adder and call it a day.

Like you said, it's amazing how some cars can just get the power to the ground and do much better than some cars that have more power and are at similar weight.
