Hey guys, I just purchased 2009 C300 past Saturday, love the car, but hate the little lug in the acceleration when I push the gas pedal and when the car actually start accelerating. I did research in these few days and it seems that Powerchip is the best bang for the back to eliminate this acceleration lug and to raise HP numbers.
Anyone want to do another group purchase on Powerchip? Can the tunning be done in Nor California - San Francisco area? I see lots of C300s around here.

the car is fast enough, you didn't miss much on that powerchip. Learn how to downshift and your lag problem is cured

I have automatic and it kind of downshifts for me :-), I am used to the stick shift cars and not sure how to change shifting behavior for the auto tranny.

The Powerchip groupbuy was c350 not c300 . The increase in overall performance is pretty big . It's not just eliminating lag but the car pulls way harder and longer . Downshifting will reduce lag but won't give the same enjoyment of the ecu tune .

I get plenty of pull from downshifting. If you know how to shift right, the car is a lot of fun

Maybe so but more power is more power .

They did C300's too.

thats true but a tune wont do our car much. I have a stage 2 on my R32 and not until that could you feel a difference. I changed air filters, I got a tune, I chipped it and it barely felt anything. Then I started doing heavy mods and now you can feel a huge difference.
