Ordered c63 coupe-pickup on friday-few questions.

Went to my local mb dealer and test drove a c63 coupe. Was sold before I even sat in the car.

Long story short, dealer had one in stock at their holding compound in diamond white, black 19s and all the bits i wanted ready to pick up this friday.

So what thats a 6 day wait? I am so happy right now.

I haven't been able to get any new car this quickly before let alone an amg in my choice of color and spec.

I had a few questions in the run up to collection on friday:

On the test drive the car felt pretty quiet and muted, the test car had only 400 miles on it. Does the sound open up a bit after break in?

The whole test drive I did with traction on, I was overwhelmed by the level of grip, far more than my personal limit. Does anyone here never turn traction off and feels the cars performance sufficient enough with it always on?

You were probably driving it in Comfort. Put in on S mode, and she'll sound maaaaaaaaaad

Thanks guys. That little knob that turns to M for manual mode is that what you mean by S mode? on the same dial? or to make it louder there is another dial somewhere?

Yes
Mine has absolutely gotten noisier/poppier than when it was new. One of my initial thoughts on the 2012 is that it didnt have the same growl as the 2009....after break in it comes alive.

The engine noise really kicks in above 3k rpms. And if you have headers and an exhaust kit...look out!

On the test drive I did have the windows up as it was freezing outside. I think the car is just very well sound insulated, hence i felt it was a little muted.
