Once again, my 16 year old son has thrown a wrench into the works.

Tonight he forwarded me this link:

YouTube - Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG

Chaulk it up to Wishes: View All Demotivators®

I'm with you there. But if I were considering a Mercedes, I really would have to throw in an "L", a "K", oh yeah, and a "Black"

Can you explain the L and K and model numbers etc. I dont get it - never did.

He meant CLK AMG63 Black Line.

Yeah, Black, nice car, are you paying from $135K for your Cayman?

Only benz I like is the GL Diesel...Well maybe the new sl65 black series. Just something unnatural about an auto in a sports car.

My wife drives an E Class with the 5.5 engine. Try it.

You selling your baby?

Yeah, probably. I had an order for a 997.2 but I think I'm going to defect to a GTR. I'm not in any great rush because I don't expect the GTR for about 4 or 5 months.

It's an impressive car for sure. I liked the previous version, and I really like this one. If it had a manual tranny, it would have been on my short shopping list before I bought the CS.

One thing I don't like,.....the engine note. It just doesn't sound like a V8, almost sounds like a big motorcycle to me,.....anyone else?

Which engine note are you speaking of which doesn't sound like a V-8?

Which one did she get, the AWD or RWD?

The C63 in the video you posted.....just doesn't sound like a V8 to me. Now the "Black" cars sound like a V8

Same engine tuned up a little more......6.2L. You're talking an additonal 50 hp but more than twice the price for those hp in the Black Series.

Drove the V-8 C63 AMG today. Sounds like a V8 from inside, but more importantly, scoots like a V8. I have enjoyed visiting this forum while having the Cayman fever, however, the Merc stole my heart as soon as I punched it today. My hat is off to all the members here. See you out on the road!

plz specify ur modal number and it as amw or fmw.

lomita · #17 05-19-2009, 07:52 PM

Bought the C63AMG last month, have less than 400 miles on 'er now, glad to have my first sports car. Has the performance suspension and drives like it has tiger paws. Remember the old Uniroyal commercial......!

thanks everyone

I traded in a CLK 500 for my Cayman S... No regrets at all. I just can't get used to people taking pictures of me driving my CS when I cruise down at South Beach...
