Got my new car today..finally

[theken]

It has been a few weeks of waiting but the car is finally ready, Big thanks to icon tint for squeezing me in for 3m and tint today. I only have a pic or 2 but will do a good shoot when I get time to do it
2010 c63 amg palladium silver, white/black interior, performance pack, nav, every option available. pretty excited :D

[Hallowed_point]

Beautiful..that silver is really nice & I'm not usually a silver car guy :thumbsup: My buddy has a c63..love the bark those make at redline!

[dj_rice]

:clap: :clap: :clap: Congratulations. :bigpimp: Wish I could afford one

[Disoblige]

Awesome! Looks great.

[shakalaka]

:hitit:

[eglove]

Nice, wish I could afford one of those!

[Tuner1]

Congrats! You are about to enter a word of tire smokin' fun!

If that car has Pirelli Sottozero tires on it then I think I know the previous owner...

[theken]

[CanmoreOrLess]

If Tuner1 knows the previous owner... the car was not owned by a little old lady from Olds who used it to drive to the local church once a week.

[theken]

good, hope it was broken in proper then haha

[max_boost]

Nice. Congrats buddy.

Not at all. I would say the P.O. was quite mild/conservative as far as C63 owners go.

Enjoy it :)

[Graham_A_M]

Nice! Looks badass in silver. What engine & tranny does it have?

[theken]

6.2, 7 speed auto

[urrforce]

congrats!:thumbsup:

these are such bad as cars and seem to be a beyond fave lol

[852VR6]

love the interior colour

[benyl]

lol indeed. i remember when the most common cars on here were preludes, civics, and integras. now that we're all "grown up" the most common car seems to be the c63 and 335

[Darkane]

Delicious car.

Was one of my contenders, to bad we live so high otherwise I would have nabbed one.

[flipstah]

HOLLA! :clap:

[TL911]

Nice Car!

[03ozwhip]

damien and bryce(at icon)were telling me about this when it came in to the shop, looks bad ass man, i want one.

[Twin_Cam_Turbo]

Great color, love the C63!

[R!zz0]

Pure Class :thumbsup:

[theken]

They did an awesome job on the tint and 3m, very impressed with the service.

[Kardon]

Wow looks great! What's the deal with all of these having such a large panel gap along the fender and hood?

[theken]

I will give my 1 week review..
car is fucking awesome. That is all..

[funkedelic2]

Sweetness. Looking to upgrade to one myself from my c300 in the near future! Didn't want to go with the facelift 2012+ one?

[EK69]

What tint did u get

[theken]

40 front 20 rear.
I would like a 2012 but can't justify the 20k difference

[theken]

so my fuel consumption avg for highway is 10.2L/100 which is awesome compared to almost everything I have owned, city (lethbridge atm) is around 17 L so still pretty good that is my weekly avg I am impressed, thought it would be worse

[94boosted]

Awesome car, the sound those 6.2L's make is :drool:

Is this going to be an all year DD? If so studded winters?

That is awesome mileage, I wish my car got that kind of mileage. The C63 is my favorite car in it's class! Congrats.

[A790]

I am jealous of your car. Nice buy!

[MustangSVT]

That is very beautiful, congratulations.

[Gman.45]

Very nice choice.

This thread could do with more pics considering you've had tint added.

I was looking at 2012 C63's, and they are all pretty much 63 or 65k still throughout the entire country. I've found some really nice 2010's myself for around 45$, so OP is correct, it is about 20$k difference right now. We looked at a 2012 Ford Explorer that was 1$k more than the 2010 C63. I know which one I would rather have.

The wife...not so much.

Wives :thumbsdow

Listen to that sound! How could you force a man to drive a poopy SUV over that?!

This.

Although I do love the c63.

And I needed a hatch.

Next car is the E63 wagon...once my wife lets me.

[shakalaka]

I love this car. Obviously I am biased. I've said it before, I will say it again, my next car is the C63 coupe unless something happend that drastically changes my mind. But I really doubt it.

This is all fixed with a tune.

The C63 with a tune will pull on 600cc bikes in Calgary.

An E63 Wagon with a tune would be heaven.

[Buster]

A tune can't compensate for thin air.

Calgary is a city built for forced induction.

[theken]

It will be a dd for sure. I will get pics up in a day or so. I'm down in lethbridge so when I get home i'll break out the good camera and do some pics.

A tune on the C63 will net anywhere from 40-70 HP depending on the original Tune from the factory. That makes up the majority of the difference that the altitude takes away here in Calgary.

Without a smaller pulley, a Supercharged car has the same issues as an NA car here.

Turbos are the only way to make up the difference without changing anything. A car with a MAP sensor will likely make the same HP here in Calgary as sea level if the turbo is sized right. A car with a MAF sensor on the other hand, won't.

There are a lot of variables to play with here and FI is only part of the answer. But we are derailing the thread (haha).

[Buster]

A tune would also get you more power at sea level.

You can't just magic up higher density air without some kind of compressor.

The S/C does help somewhat...although not as flexible as a turbo at altitude.

One of the reasons I'm happy that AMG went to turbos from the 6.2. Amazing engine, but not the best for here.

The N54/N55 are great Calgary engines.

[E46..sTyLez]

Congrats Ken! You should bring her by for a looksee when you're in town!

[clem24]

Sweet ride!!! Let's see some pics of that rare white interior!!

[theken]

Just uploading my pics, stay tuned.

[clem24]

The white looks fucking awesome!! You gonna wrap the chrome in the window trim too? I saw it done to a red one and it looks really good. Good that you got the later 2010 model so it had the better AMG pack. I think this was the year where they did the switchover (i.e. some early 2010 models didn't get the HP bump, red calipers and CF spoiler).

[KRyn]

That white interior is really nice! :thumbsup:

[Buster]

I luv me some C63

[theken]

I will probably wrap the window trim also. I hate chrome, looking to chip and possibly akropavic exhaust this summer depending on how my spring goes for income. Should be enough for the year

[benyl]

hope you budgetted a lot of money for these.

I thought chipping a P31 optioned C63 is pointless? That 30 extra horses I have is basically what the reprogramming does?

[benyl]

yup. P31 extra "30 hp" is more like 50. No point in chipping.

Haha so true... My brand new pair of $800 Yoko rears lasted 1 summer. That's right. 1 fucking summer. Meanwhile, the fronts are still mint LOL.

[benyl]

That sounds about right.

New tires twice a year. New rear summers right about now and new rear winters in October.

[Mitsu3000gt]

Keep a blanket in the car for anyone who may end up wearing dark or newer blue jeans. You will never get the ink out of your seats completely if you don't watch out for that sort of thing. Gorgeous interior though.

My S4 used to have white alcantera seats and I would make my GF at the time sit on a blanket when she wore super dark jeans :rofl:.

[never]

That's a purty car.

[navdeep]

Great car i love mine other then the fact after one winter i already need new winters next yr

[never]

And don't pick anyone up after they've been spray tanning! :D

[G]

You guys must be smoking tires at every light to burn up the rears in basically 4 (max 5) short Calgary summer months. I have Ice Bears and they still look like they have 50% left on them after my second winter...and yes I do drive like a douchnozzle like the rest of you with all that torque.

I put on 265/35ZR18 XL Continental ExtremeContact DW at the beginning of last summer and they are good for at least this summer.

[Gman.45]

Sick car, sick pics. I like it the more I look at it. For 45$k, I can think of SO many vehicles, trucks etc that cost more than that which seem like so much less vehicle for the money.

Well done.

[merc63]

Exactly what wrap is that??

[theken]

3m vinyl

Id be down for a race to verify that if it is in fact true. Personally I doubt it though. I cant see this thing getting low 10second passes from the dealership. :dunno:

[merc63]

A tuned c63 won't touch a 600cc sport bike lol, not a chance in hell.

A 600 isn't running low 10s either, especially not in calgarys altitude.


Theken, what tint of black, flat, semi or gloss??

[theken]

its 40 front 20 rears, looks like semi, no idea though, front vinyl is flat

[theken]

I had a 08 hayabusa, with an average rider, average weight your probably low to mid 10's in calgary, get a pro rider probably high 9's, 600's here are probably mid 11 area, c63 at sea level is like a 12.3 so high 12's here, theres a few horse needed to get mid 11's. The car is very fast, and extremely powerful, but it is not a bike. I enjoy driving it way more than I did riding my bikes though, nothing like being almost as fast as a bike, while sitting on white leather listening to tunes.
