I haven't given that much thought yet but what an outstanding little bonus!

12.11 stock is quick. Nicely done.

And that's good advice. I think I will try to knock out the baseline dyno and the baseline quarter mile run before I install the tune.

Dynos are only good for showing off numbers to your mates. Consistent improvements in 1/4mile times is what will give a better indication as to how the tune works - ie top end power/low end torque etc.. in the real world environment rather than just with 'ideal' dyno conditions.

I think it is awesome. its $1800 credit plus you get to drive and SLS AMG! When you go I would love to hear about it as it is one of my future events.

Nice. C63 is such a head turner, not to mention just down right badass.

As an update, I am done with break-in and instead of going with the OE Tuning software, I am going with Eurocharged V4 instead.

Should have the MyGenius and software by tomorrow afternoon, hopefully.

Haha! Thanks for the recommendation.

It does sound pretty nice. I've looked at the Akrapovic exhaust as well.

The problem is that the stock AMG Sport Exhaust sounds pretty aggressive.

Look who's here

How are you? How's the car running? If you come down here, we'll do a few friendly runs against both my GT-R and the C

I apologize immensely but who is this again?

Feel free to shoot me a PM.

I am doing well, thank you! And so is the car.

Nice choice and I perfectly understand why you did it
Oh, and don't worry about "real camera" - you can take perfectly acceptable photos even with good modern smartphones:







Oh, and b.t.w, who assembled teh engine in yours? Mine was assembled by Uwe Gruber dude:

Outstanding color choice my friend!

I'll have to go out and check here sometime today. I can't remember off of the top of my head and I don't have a real clear photo of the plaque.

Fun car, isn't it?

Yes, yes it is, even in a stock form - I have no plans in modding it anytime soon.

I was actually thinking about E90 M3 (I really like the BMW's interior on that generation of 3-series, same goes for other important stuff like excellent steering/braking response and overall handling) but by the time I needed a new car the E90 was already unavailable and I didn't want to settle with E92 (I dislike any kind of coupes). I also looked at Audi's offerings - the new S4 and while I liked both of its interior and exterior design as well as the quality of materials and the way the car handled I still wanted a more "traditional" naturally aspirated engine, plus I've read about various issues some S4 owners were experiencing with Audi's new electrical steering system, so that was also out. So basically the only choice I was left with is the current C63, and I am glad I went for it before Mercedes starts to experiment with new turbo engines, new exterior/interior and new steering system for the next generation of C63.
