I just picked up my c63 this morning and drove it all day long.
I almost died twice. Couldnt get used to the power....
Jumping from a 300bhp 350z to 450bhp.....c63 i need some time for adjustment...
Thanks to AMG for the brakes and power.... or i would've crashed.
Performance almost killed me, but it also saved me.
Just wanted to share.
900km to go... god damn break in period.

Congrats Leon! Welcome to the Dark side! lol
Post some pics. Yes with the Singh tune you can smoke the tires
from a stop in 3rd gear.
I would never drive this car w/o traction control.
