Congrats buddy! Enjoy it! :)

Congrats!

looks ballin! congrats!!!

[dj_rice]

Congratulations!! Love that Designo matte color. What made you decide on Sottozeros?

[ExtraSlow]

Awesome car. It's so good I have zero negative to say!

[killramos]

Congrats

[D'z Nutz]

I'm not usually a fan of silver/grey cars, but that's a hot colour.


Although partial throttle is pretty rewarding, I can’t wait until the break in period is done, I want to mash it!

You're doing it wrong already. Hard break-in all the way.

Beat. The. Shit. Out. Of. It.

[Buster]

Amazing.

I'm one of the guys that prefers the factory recommended break in.

[J-hop]

Very nice, love the colour.

I think you are required to post a rev video once you’ve got her broken in. Love the way those sound

My all-time favorite color from MB is the Designo White Matte finish. I don't believe they offer this color anymore

[JordanLotoski]

Congrats

You should look into the Renn-tech lowering modular, Rob at Tunerworks did mine. Makes a world of difference

[rage2]

This is the lowering module that everyone uses.

You can get it down to $500 if you ask, although not sure now with how bad the exchange rate is lately. They all do the same thing, adjust the factory height settings. If you can convince the dealer to use their STAR diagnostics, you can adjust the height values for free from their interface.

[BavarianBeast]

Sick! Congrats man. I can definitely recommend the tune, went for a ride in my friends tuned e63s down in Colorado a little while back and that thing feels like it would outrun just about anything.

[BokCh0y]

Absolutely beautiful :drool::drool::drool:

[max_boost]

Gorgeous car. Enjoy!

Great car, this was one of the 3 cars we considered before we bought our LC500, we didn't want to wait, and an LC500 deal fell into our laps easily. Silver/Grey is my favorite color for cars, that's the exact color I'd want for mine.

Nice winter tires, you're braver than I am, driving that in the winter (due to other drivers, not you).

Beautiful.

[bourge73]

Wow congrats !!! OMG I am drooling #futuregoals ;)

[msommers]

That thing is gorgeous. Congrats!

[BavarianBeast]

He was running the renntech tune, we figured it would be faster than a 650s in a straight line.

I love the e63s, it's on my list...but I don't think it would be close to the Mclaren.

[BavarianBeast]

They're totally different animals. I was comparing to the 650s because we had just driven around in his dads earlier in the day and the E63S felt faster on the butt dyno. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it is actually faster in a 1/4 or 1/2 mile.

[infamous]

here is a video showing both cars accelerating, the e63s seems to have the advantage to about 140km/hr and then the mclaren slowly edges away......

ya, I'm just going off claimed stats. A stock 650s is a low/mid- 10s care in the quarter mile. Which is faster than renntech's claim. The 60-130 claimed times are like 2 seconds off.

[Rocket1k78]

Sick color! Congrats

[Tej.S]

Congrats on the new car man! Love the magno selenite.

[Mitsu3000gt]

Aren't you supposed to hard break-in these things? I remember reading that other AMGs burnt less oil and made more HP when they hard a hard break-in, but maybe it's different with the TT engines vs the old 6.2L.

Car looks awesome, congrats.

It's a can of worms on the breakin stuff. My view is that the engineers designed the thing and probably know what's what. All evidence I've seen to the contrary is anecdotal.

If I remember correctly, rage2 said the guys who actually dyno'd their cars and did a heard break-in were making more HP than the guys who did a soft-break-in. I am not sure how big the sample size was, but I found that interesting. Again I think this was with the older 6.2L though so it might be different for the TT.

There might be reasons why the AMG engineers would recommend a worse break-in than other options. I just can't think of what those reasons might be.

[BavarianBeast]

I just don't know how anybody has the patience for a recommended break-in.

When I drop a ton of cash on a fast car, I'm definitely getting that bitch up to redline several times before 1000km lol.

[D'z Nutz]

My view is the company that has to pay for anything during the warranty period wants you to baby your car as much as possible so they're not on the hook for it if anything breaks. If they could somehow come up with a clever marketing strategy to convince people to just drive their cars around the block or let it sit in the garage for the entire duration of the warranty period, I bet they would.

This is exactly what I have always assumed, and it makes sense at least in my mind haha. They only care what happens in the first 4 years, and if they can get you to baby it for a portion of that time, they improve their odds of not having to fix something major.

Also I have been on dozens of test drives in brand new vehicles where I am told to drive it like I stole it, and then they turn around and sell that car to someone who is then instructed to baby it for however many km lol.

[killramos]

I have always followed the break in on my cars, I agree with Buster that the engineers know what they are talking about, none of them have ever burnt oil or had issues.

I think more important than avoiding kickdown and 4000+rpm is making sure to vary driving parameters during the break in period. Meaning run the engine all the way through all of those 4000rpms every time you drive it, engine brake back down through the range. And always let the oil warm up. Plenty of fun to be had for the first couple weeks within the parameters.

Probably the worst break in you can do is just get in and drive the thing to Edmonton and back a couple times on cruise control at 1400 rpm.

[rage2]

I was doing 0-60 launches and measurements with 20km on the clock lol.

[shakalaka]

Congrats!

Would love to hear your experience living with Magno paint in Calgary, especially thru winter.

Congrat on the ride.

[Aleks]

There might be reasons why the AMG engineers would recommend a worse break-in than other options. I just can't think of what those reasons might be.

I think that even if all manufacturers know that hard break-in is better than a soft one, they legally couldn't put that in the owner's manual.

Imagine what would happen if the manual said something like: as soon as you leave the lot you should do 10-15 redline pulls once oil is warm. Huge liability once the general public started crashing all over the place.

The GT350 has the best break in procedure I’ve seen yet:


BREAKING-IN

Your vehicle requires a break-in period. Drive your new vehicle at least 100 mi (160 km) before performing extended wide open throttle maneuvers and at least 1,000 mi (1,600 km) before performance or competition conditions.

Note: Vary your speed frequently in order to give the moving parts a chance to break in.

I’ve spoken to Ford Performance too, and they said just don’t hold WOT too long prior to 100 miles. Didn’t specify, and neither does the manual. All I know is - according to the manual - it’s fair game high rpm and WOT after only 160kms.

At 1600, it’s balls out track use. Nice.

The 100 miles is likely to break in the other components like the tranny, diff, etc and not the engine itself.

Lease vehicle? What's this break-in you speak of?

The site is misleading. It says E63 once, but all the data is for the C63. Doesn't look like the beta includes the E63.
