No car forums are for sharing experiences and giving each other constructive feedback. Not a single thing you wrote is constructive. Car forums are ideally not the place to demean another person's car, but of-course with guys like you, that is difficult.
And it is a free country, you can form an opinion. Just form it elsewhere.

Polar White C43 Sedan
Show me where I demean your car, belittle it or call it inferior in any way. Just because I argue that it isn't an Amg, to you that is demeaning? I find it funny that you read it that way. Essentially you are saying that by me arguing that it isn't an amg, it is inferior. That would be a belief YOU believe. That amgs are superior
Why does MB slap AMG logos all over the C43?

So since this thread is heavily derailed, is nobody gonna talk about how MB apparently underrated the c43's performance figures? According to Renntech's testing, the figures stand at 375hp and 398lb-ft torque.

Not sure where they get the 17% figure from.
But the only true way to tell what the engine is making is to put it on an engine dyno.

I wouldn't read too much into that. They are using a random 17% calculation for drivetrain loss. 22-25% is the industry standard for AWD loss.

Given all the numbers everyone claims, yeah it's close. But everyone is leaving power on the table compared to OE and AMR. Might equate to a half second slower in the 1/4 mile.
Are you really going to notice? Probably not.
The thing that gets me is the price. My OE tune was $800. RennTechs is like $2,000+? Yikes. I'd rather go with the BMS tune. Similar numbers, trusted company, and only $300! <--No brainer there.
I personally went OE because of price and they are tied with AMR for the highest [claimed] numbers. I didn't want to leave power on the table. I would have loved to spend only $300 but I would have been thinking about that extra power I left on the table every time I stepped on the gas.

Typically it is the same losers who drove crappy cars all their life and finally work overtime for years to buy a C63 who get butthurt with the C43. It's like that commercial of that shipwreck-looking guy who finally arrived at an island after many hardships goes on to tell his story to someone who simply clicked on Expedia lol. They feel undercut and their peckers only swelled an inch instead of two.
Saw a C63 in my showroom for 97K. Not only is it too understated but overpriced. My 507 is twice the experience than these turbo V8s. Sure it's fast but doesn't sound like the M156, Fabrizio Di Giuseppe built that one ! No V8 turbo can ever, ever match the NA V8. M156 guys know it, and 458 Italia owners know it.
