Grats on your car. It isn't worth it to tune only a P31 car. Remember a member got his car tuned from Brabus I think, and gained an average of 4 hp? Good luck on your venture nonetheless. Enjoy your car! I've had my car for 3 weeks and only put almost 300 miles on it. Work is a *****. Can't wait to see you clean that baby up and post pics!

Congrats, you did well! It would be great to get some more data on what a P31 puts down stock. Be sure to do a before dyno! Also, would the tuner be able to tell us what goes on with the P31 factory tune vs the regular factory tune?

Congrats, welcome to the fold!
You've got great taste, we have pretty much identical cars.
It was optioned properly
Enjoy her and keep a look out for the coppers

Just went for a little spin. I was very worried I wasnt going to be happy with the car coming from the GT3. But I realized I do need something that is a better daily driver. Something I can take dates in, be able to get up the driveway to restaurant's parking lots etc. But to the drive, the car has so so much torque it just puts a smile on my face, the fact that you can enjoy it at low rpm makes it a ton of fun, coming around turns it is very easy to get the tail out, again tons of fun. The car is fun! Love the audio system as well. I actually was pleasantly surprised with the autobox, not as bad as I though on the test drive. Worked pretty well thru the canyons, only didnt down shift when I was going into first a couple times. Obviously there is no comparison to my GT3, it cant provide the same feedback, the agility is nowhere near, not nearly as planted, and instead of the *** planting, it swings sideways:eusa-clap: which is a whole different kind of fun. It does remind me of the M3, but you can feel the heavier front end, but I kind of like it. You know this big engine is upfront and you got to aim it in the right direction. It has put a smile on my face and after the drive I can say I am happy with my purchase. I can tell it will keep me happy. Did I say the sound is part of the fun! That sound is awesome, never heard a stock exhaust sound so good. Good Job AMG! Never thought Id like a mercedes, this is my first! Can I say I prefer it as an all around car over my B7 RS4 and the M3 (stock vs stock).
