Yeah, C32's with those mods can really pull and they will surprise a lot of cars on the road.

Here's a quote from the throttle body thread that I posted the link to; it explains a little more about your question:

You can achieve the very same affect by making the throttle pedal (Driver Torque Demand Input) more sensitive so I am more interested in peak airflow for a certain RPM at maximum throttle opening (in the low 90% region as any more is useless because of the throttle shaft diameter).

I know exactly what you're saying.

But, there are a number of people who enjoy knowing what the competition is up to. I thought this was pretty exciting stuff.

Yeah, the drivers with these times really have their cars dialed in. Thanks for noticing.

My car's stock, except for air filtres. But, I have some ideas in mind. I haven't had the car very long. Still learning how to drive it.

Took it to the 1/8 mile strip once so far. 8.18/88 mph/1.90 60' with street tires. Not great, but it is what it is.

I love the C63 and it is a really amazing feat to get a car like that into the 10's with so few power adders. Plus the fact that your doing it in style and comfort with all the goodies you could ever want in a car.

Looks good. The C63 is on my short list of cars to try. Some peeps just have the 'brand whore' gene and can be easily brushed off as such...
