So I was looking for a new daily to replace my GS300.

I test drove the new GS-F. Interior was amazing, power was good. Exterior, I liked the front, but the side and back was just to bland for me.



Anyways I was also looking at used M3s and C63 for the same price since my evo is down for a turbo swap. I been missing the power.
Long story short, test drove the C63. Bought it on the spot. lol



Next to my coworker, Wish the C63 had a fatter rear end. Looks the same from the back.



Cons: only getting 15MPG currently. Not the ideal car for a daily but whatever. I'm thinking once I finish the evo build, I will daily that since E85 is cheaper.

Anyone know of a reliable C63 tuner to tune my ECU?

NICE! Such low miles! What year is it? These things, and CTS-V's are very tempting as DD trade ups from the Evo.

Not sure who tunes those, but I know AMS is working on the new 5.5 TT Benz's, did you look at Brabus they make Benz stuff
Actually mine is pretty high mileage. That pic was just a distance traveled guage.

Mine has 58k mileage, but I bought the 3 yr extended warranty.

I don't plan to keep this car past 100k miles. Even at close to 60k it's risky, but whatever. Only live once.

Thinking about getting some 19" rims and a drop first.

Its not the low power of the c63 vs a cts-v, nor the awful gas mileage, nor the relatively crap interior for the price.
It's the noise of the amg v8s.

You just don't care about any of the bad things, because holy shit it sounds so good.

It doesn't feel as fast but it is. The power delivery is more linear and before I know it I'm already at 100mph+. The car drives so smooth though and the stock exhaust is too die for.

My stock exhaust revving.

I don't remember how a stock evo drive since I been on a big turbo setup for awhile now. turbo lag makes the evo seem faster though. then again my evo is 400+whp.

The c63 is a low 12 second car stock, quite quick. But a 400+whp evo is faster through the 1/4. It's the 60mph passing and 100mph+ where the big v8 pulls best.

Also, who gives a shit listen to that exhaust note!

I was not impressed with the C63 I was in. Nice car, luxury etc., but the actually driving experience was very bland. It is fast, but is heavy and the one I was in did not sound like that video. Much more mellow and subdued. You sure you are stock? Still, very nice car and looks badass.
