The 507 was equipped with 255-section rear tires (Continental ContiSportContact 5P).
I'm a drag strip novice and my personal best time with my '13 C63 is 12.1 (on 255-section Continental ExtremeContact DWs), although I know those that have made it into the 11s bone stock.
The new W205 C63 has been spied with larger 265-section tires in the rear (every mule has had these). The car will weigh 220+ lbs than the previous generation.
Two questions: 1) Given those numbers above, how did the W204 fail to put the power down?
2) What makes you say the W205 will fail to put the power down, given the fact that no one has tested it yet? |
My friend bought a 2014 GT500, and could never get near the times the pros would get. he hated how the car couldn't grip, and it was really a handful. point being if AMG and ford, made wider tries the average person would be able to handle the car easier. Instead of trying harder to get the cars to grip. IMO 255 is stupidly small. I run 285s on my stock M3.
sure the probs can probably use there skills, to get goods times with a "handicap" tire.
