Will compliment my SLK 55 AMG nicely. Porsche and BMW wake up! I have switched to Mercedes and it doesn't look like I'm coming back soon.

I was IN LOVE with the CLK63 AMG Black Series after driving it, but alas $130,000 is a bit hard to swallow. For half the price, you are getting essentially the same package in the C63 AMG. While my friends are running out to get expensive cars like the Porsche GT2 and Ferrari F430, I am plenty happy with this lil gem. Its more than about going fast. The way the seats embrace me like a long lost lover, the way the steering wheel feels perfectly in my hands, the mounds of tire shredding torque shoving me violently back into my seat, the wonderful growl of the AMG V8... its a loud and violent brute that could care less what others think of it. For me, this is the perfect car... especially after I re-tune it up to 500hp or more. Replies to this message: dc8333 (May 05, 2008 3:48 pm) jonty12 (May 09, 2008 2:05 pm)

Replying to: huyracing (Apr 07, 2008 11:01 pm) I have a 2009 C63 AMG on order. Opted not to get the sport pkg. due to the rough ride, but was wondering how you go about re-tuning the engine to put out the 500+ horses. Can you also bypass the 155mph limit to attain 186mph? If you get a chance give me a shout. Replies to this message: jonty12 (May 09, 2008 2:05 pm)

There isn't C63 AMG specific upgrades available, yet. Considering many models with the AMG 6.2L V8 are making over 500hp, a simple tweak of the ECU should be enough to do the trick. I suggest you check out www.evosport.com and contact them. You can check out what they've done to their CLK63 AMG Black Series to make 598hp. It is likely they will have something for the C63 soon enough.

Replying to: dc8333 (May 05, 2008 3:48 pm) When's your projected delivery date? Can't find release dates anywhere on line. I'm likely making a decision next Saturday regarding new vehicle (finalists are GS450h, XF SV8, and C63), but would like a clue as to when I can expect them to arrive thanks
