C63 Project "DAILY DRIVER"

Well alot of people have asked to see my C63. Not going crazy on it. It is fairly quick and will run mid 11's@119 on a DR. Most know I love my weight reduction so thats where I have been spending my time. The tune put down an extra 50whp and the car has been lightened about 150#.

Mods:
Eurocharged tune
Carbon fiber hood
Carbon fiber trunk(at paint booth)
LED eyebrow lights
LED license plate lights
H&R lowering springs(not installed yet)
Braille 15# mini battery
battery bracket made by me
evosport painted reflectors










And my son trying to steal it

Thanks guys. Im loving it. It will see the road course regularly and the 1/4 on occasion. I just want to get the CF trunk and lowering springs in first. I'm fading the cf trunk with paint like the hood. Didnt want to just drop a cf hood and trunk on I'll post up vids when I get some. Been busy with vacation and family visiting. Things are starting to settle down.

what car are you waiting on again? I remember you said it in your Evo IX build thread but I'm to lazy to go through it.

C63 has always been my dream car ....If I ever get rich I'll treat myself to one.

I can see myself with a white one with the engine upgrade package

Thanks guys. The fade came out great. The trunk should be done end of the week, so pics probably early next week.

As for the question on which car Im waiting on, its the new 2012 C63 Black Series. Im waiting for MB to finalize what they are going to offer though. I am hoping for a 4 door C63 BS but they havent offered a BS in a four door ever but there is talk of it for the C63. They are offering a 2 door coupe C63 now though and pics of a 2 door c63 Black Series have also surfaced. The new 2012 C63 is going to a DCT trans and a whole bunch of other awesome changes. Here are some pics of it. Its the test mule in camo. I am in no rush. I will wait until I can get my usual deal

Oh yeah, thats what I want. A new white BS. The new white is beautiful. Almost looks like Lamborghini Baloon White. And no need to be rich. You can buy a nice used c63 in the 40's. Not that that isnt chump change but a new MR Touring is up there. I bought this one which is a 2010 brand new for 15K off at $57K. Sticker was $72K. Mercedes is very consistent about offering 10k trunk money back so with the invoice to msrp profit a solid 15k off is manageable. Just have to find a dealer willing to work with you and give you the discount. Not all MB dealers even get the trunk money so you need to search around. Ive learned to be patient.

Here is the white I was talking about...

Wow ....thats exactly the color combo i want, with the cool red brakes =P

The interior has to be all black leather, AMG seats, with the CF trim all around

I also didnt know that the car could be discounted that heavily...but you're right, if I shop around I should be able to finda dealership willing to give it away
