so i was heading over to my buddies house to hang out with him on his birthday and im minding my own business driving down the highway and out of nowhere a c63 amg gets next to me and starts gunning it and slowing down. it took me a while to register what he intended but once i knew, it was on.
so i down shift into 3 going about 60 and he just guns it. i start reeling him in but it was going to take some time to get him in after he got the HUGE jump that he got.
so we run them again a little more even and i far pretty well. we take off going about 60 again and i start to walk a little bit!!! im thinking "OMG THIS IS AWESOME!!!!" i shift into fourth and of course i lose a little but as soon as she gets back goin im back on track.
we race a few more times with about the same outcomes. man that was some fun racing. we took them to about 130.

I agree, There is no way a close to stock LS1 is going to beat a C63 AMG even if it has a fat driver. The driver just didnt know what he was doing. Car and Driver Ran a 12.3@116 in a bone stock C63. Thats far from Bolt on LS1 Territory
You sure it wasnt a C350
Instead of a C63 they look similar

I ran a c63 amg in my z and it took till the top of third gear to actually start pulling good on it. I think you would need a cam to pull one like you said you did. Or maybe he wasn't on it all the way, haha.

That car did move out. Still don't care for that color too much but it was quick as f$%* for the mods it had.
