2008+ mercedes c63 amg

Just watched an AMG C63 special on Speed Channel called "Fire and Ice". The C63 looks like a much bigger sedan. I could not believe it was a C class. It is truly a magnificent car with a very attractive price tag. I am not sure about reliability but this car is awesome for what it is.

So how was the drive? cmon tell us more
or handling so nimble the car feels 1/2 it's size.
I'm considering buying the C63 :biggrin:
ballin, you should let me borrow it
theyre going for 75+ on ebay
yikes

yikesI drove a C55, totally unimpressed.
the new c class is completely new, and amg has had a bigger impact on the c63 than previous amg c classes, new bigger badder motor, 7 speed tranny, better suspension than previous amg models, betterbrakes, better everything,
c55=not that great
c55=not that great
I'd still buy a used one one if I could, but would build up a stocker due to the price of upgrades:

your pics dont work so what style of c class are you talking about? just the previous c55 handed over to kleemann?
renntech ecu and headers will take the c63 to about 555hp 510trq, or in that range because it is the same engine as the other 63's just de-tuned so the smallest cheapest amg wont outrun the more expensive cars, plus the 63's have the bad ass tranny
