And besides the S63 is faster.

My sales rep said C43s will be treated as full AMG and come with ADA credit and PL access.

If that's the case then, the ADA will need to increase the amount of dates they operate. It's hard enough trying to get in since slots fill up for Basic in like 2-3 days. If you miss it then you're SOL.

I've attended two events and didn't have a problem to "get in". This is all good news for me. Looking to buy a C204 C63 coupe, a C205 C63 S Coupe and a W205 C43 Sedan or possibly GLC43...

I've had quite a bit of trouble getting in for the Basic at CoTA but I did manage to snag a spot for the Thursday date in April. But either way I do think they need to increase the amount of Basic dates if they plan on giving the 43's the ADA credit.

I'm sure they will, especially now that the GLC43 joined the family.

From the PL, it's official that 43's WON'T get the ADA voucher as of right now.
