@@themetamind9305 yep that transforms the whole car in how its supposed to drive. It literally turns into a monster. Took me months till i found out. Had no idea about it also haha
@@themetamind9305 hold button down for few seconds and it shud say 'sport handling' or sport mode, or race handling or something like that, then switch the knob to Manual.
Not only that, it short shifted for some reason. Can definitely get that 0-60 in 4.10 or less. My RS doesn’t short shift and goes all through the gear it starts on, wicked fast
I was only brave enough to do launch starts with traction control off and sport plus mode when I took it on a wide track. I'm not surprised you got really nervous on what is a narrow road. Too risky especially if the ground is greasy and you've got wheels spinning. Still. 4.2 seconds is fantastic.
Just the edit software, frame by frame! They do one called dragy, but the video was spontaneous because of the weather. I now drag race in the car so have some good data on how it runs, 60ft, 1/4 mile etc if you want to know more.
@@CarThought I'm in the same boat, with the same car. How accurate do you consider that your frame-by-frame method was, when compared to measured data that you have now?
11.7mpg not bad for how fast it is, but today petrol prices where $2AUD/L (was $1.50AUD/L only 2 months ago) damn. And apparently its going to get worse before it gets better
Pretty cool 🤘🤘 haven't experienced race mode, yet 😉 in mine. But now no snow on the ground so definitely gonna try it. I like to drive mine in sports + mode with traction control turned all the way off. If you haven't done it yet, hold the traction button down til the light on the dash says OFF. A lot of fun even just toolin around town. But a lot of fun on the highway. I highly recommend it
I get scared about turning the traction off! I span my Mazda a couple of times and couldn’t believe how fast it happens. I think with the C class being a longer wheel base it should be more controllable on the limit?!
@@CarThought don't be scared. I drive it all the time in good weather without it on and I hardly ever break the rear wheels free. All in throttle control 😉
Lol just a couple hours ago i was doing 0-100kmph runs. Sames road goibg both ways and get the average to eliminates gradient variable. I got a n/a fiesta 1.6l 2009 year manual lol, got 10.3 seconds haha
The ‘sport traction’ mode is actually brilliant, I used to drive mine in that mode at all times. It’s idiot proof, trust the car and the AMG programming. Invest in some PS4S tyres and you will get good grip, in the summer you can bury the throttle and it will hook up. Use S+ mode with sport traction mode together for the best performance.
Would you like to see a video of the race start from the outside?
Yes!
Yep for sure.
Yes please
Traction race mode + Manual mode = No wheel spin, instant gear changes with no lag, & insane grip and control
Will give this a try, do you just hold down the traction button to sport mode and place the car into manual mode?

Lmao I like how you were genuinely scared. Could see it on your face before you said it lol. The authenticity is actually refreshing for YT.
It wasn’t deliberate 😂

Probably because he hesitated and let off the gas.

Haha yes, balls of steel! However I do have some experience in drag racing and it’s a fairly predictable car! I agree 4.2 is good 👍
I have a 2012 CLS 63 AMG and race start never gets boring 😎🥵
4:54 did you shart??
That was fast. Awesome. You needed that after scraping those walls for three days.
Next time take a trip and place a mic near the exhaust.
Another nice vid.
Was thinking of doing a nighttime drive like this with external mic ✌️
@@CarThought Be really careful. Animals and idiots like the roads in the dark.
Just bought one and I am fascinated to see you coping with these crazy settings. I have yet to pluck up the courage myself!
A year on do you have any tales to tell
Dude literally shat himself when doing the RS launch 😂😂😂 had some pressure behind it too 💀
Amaaaaazing video
We needed to hear that from the outside.
Amazing car, had w204 c350cdi w brabus package, 0-60 in 5.0s. But AMG is fantastic
Looking at the fuel needle is all part of C63 ownership! 😅
I get 160 miles to a tank round town, and about 280 on a run. Seems to go best on Tesco 99.
The POV driving at the end, more of that!
✌️ full video Is here: th-cam.com/video/xQoOo-VNi-8/w-d-xo.html
But I want to film another one at night!
Dream car. Hopefully I own one of my dream cars before 26
Bruh you got it at 24 my nigga you did it dawg ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😤
My car doesn’t show shift indicator in manual mode ??
4:54 did your bowel get a little too excited there? Jokes aside, nice video.
I made this into a TikTok clip saying the exact same thing. Tbh it was all a blur, so could have been!
Does this model have the p31 performance package or no ?
what did you use to evaluate the 0-60 through the video? Is there an ap that does this?

@@vladsmachina3285 the speedo is out by quite a way, especially at higher speeds. It’s just an indicative figure.

Electric car drivers aren’t much better off right now though let’s be honest 😂
I like to think that half of the fuel is going to make the glorious noises.
Only 11 mpg? Thought it was 23
4.2..... I'm impressed.
Throw some Pilot Sport 4S’ on and you won’t have to worry about losing grip anymore 😁
Rears are PS4S’s!

Only Dyno mode is fully off. But it doesn't take much to get it moving around. I haven't had the guts to try race start yet either.
Think you need a beer never mind tea
Love this test I have a 2017 BMW X3 35D With 700 nm stage 1 and it can do 0-60 in 5 sec. but it make me feel sick. LOL
Lol just a couple hours ago i was doing 0-100kmph runs.

My first 1.2L 3 cylinder Polo would genuinely struggle up hills if you put a full tank of fuel in it 😂
Such a nice car
my 02 clk55 does 0-60 in 5 sec flat, and my 04 cl55 did it in 4.8

Sport Handling Mode makes you feel like a hero. Just don't tell anyone that you're using it.
haha same i have that on all time + manual mode, transforms the car into a monster
Rai its actually better with manual mode, the manual changes are instant and no LAG! TRY IT!
@@jamiefreedom8320 sold my C63 🥲 family man now, now have an M340i but miss the V8 noise and drama
@@rainoor947 haha same! I am in process of selling now looking for larger car 😅
P31?
No performance packs on this one. Stock edition 125, 458 bhp I think.
@@CarThought That would mean no limited slip, right?
What a bloody yuppie 🥺
Did you just fart💨 on the race start mode🤣🤣🤣
Hahaha just re-listened to that! It sounded like something clenching 😂
🤣🤣 even your face reaction, i once experience it with my brother C63. This car is something else
May be the man voted least likely to own a C63
No draggy . Joker!
Send me £150 to buy one and I’ll do it again for you? 🤙🤣.
The question that comes to my mind is if this car is so frightening to you, why did you buy one?
Yes
