Any C63 AMG owners, current or past

By the way tune alone yields insane gains since basically the same engine exists in the E / CLS / S AMG cars.
Add a pair of headers and you'll be trapping around mid-120s, enough to run with a C6Z with full luxury and the best exhaust note in the world

Also any C63's made before 2011 are all prone to Mercedes headbolt failure on all M156 engines, as you can imagine its a very costly fix.
A mod who dailys a C63 on the Bimmer forums drove the new M4 and said the car had more off the line torque than the M156 in the C63...though the 6.2NA pulls a bit harder up top. That would be a sick replacement for your C63
Anyways went out to have some fun with some friends last night, results:
Tuned C63 (Me) vs stock F10 M5 = Pretty much neck & neck, tied.
Tuned C63 (Me) vs stock C63 = I won by 2 car lengths
Me vs Full Bolt On 6MT E92 M3 = Won again by 2 car lengths
Me vs stock ISF = Won again yet by another 2 car lengths
Me vs Modded B5 S4 = Won by 3-4 cars
Me vs random stock 350z = Couldn't really tell, he was too far back lol
Pretty interesting seeing the E92, ISF & the base C63 all within a fender of each other

Thanks for all the responses guy's. I love these cars but my biggest problem is what fusion said in a previous post. I know it's a Mercedes but for the price of one used, you're looking at a c6z or grand sport. It's hard for me to overlook those two great performers for the price.
I had a run in with a c63 a few weeks ago while tuning the S, put just over a car on him before having to slow down.
