Isn't that the same engine as Rage's winter beater? Jesus, if it sounds like that in his car, I'm turning gay and marrying him.

I think it's based on that engine except it makes an additional 120HP :eek:

The C63's engine is detuned from all the regular 63 motors by ~45hp, which is why it makes "less" hp. It's done by the stock ECU limiting throttle body position to 50% after 1 second of full throttle. A simple ECU flash brings hp to around 520 on the C63, with most of the gains from allowing the throttle body to open all the way.

The SLS engine differs in several ways. It has forged pistons, lightweight rods, and lightweight crank (which is now available on the C63 P31 performance package) to reduce rotating mass by around 15lbs. Doesn't give more power, but it does make it rev better in the lower gears. It also has dry sump lubrication to lower the center of gravity.

The sound and power of the SLS differs a lot from the standard 63 cars due to the reworked intake and exhaust systems. The longtube headers on the C63 makes it sound a lot like the SLS, and brings power up (along with ECU) to 570hp.

Well Rage, I'd say it's pretty obvious. If you get those headers, I'm coming after you. if you don't, you are slightly safer. :poosie:

My god, the sound of that SLS on throttle lift... i want that as my ringtone, I don't care if people think I'm farting.
