Anyone done a track day in a 17 -18 C43?
Wondering your experience (go, stop and turn).. what you upgraded? tire choice? upgraded the brake fluid and pads? Did you have a flash, power was decent enough? Thanks!
I have a C300 now, planning on a C43 sedan for light track duty and daily.... have a vette also for my main track car.
I was debating this or a CLA45, but even for me the C43 lease is way better and a better Daily

Aftermarket pads are non-existent the last I've seen, but releases could've come around I'm not aware of. Best bet might be a performance fluid.
Factory rubber is garbage Conti run-flats which are universally loathed in here. By and large, most here upgrade to Michelin PS4's or A/S3 and throw a patch & pump in the trunk.
Power is adequate, but there are always options. Flash or piggyback depending on which route you want to go and spend. AMR and Eurocharge tend to get a lot of attention on the Flash side but they're pricey ($2k). Dinan has a damage warrantied piggyback unit. BMS has a piggyback that a user here is creeping close to the 11's with for <$400. Do some searching and you can come to your own conclusion.

Thanks on the flashes and upgraded...$2k for a flash is up there..
The aftermarket pads are odd... was hoping some carbotech xp8's or 10's would be possible..
I built a nice CLA45 thats here at the dealer now, but not sure I will do it based on the C43 and the lease rates...even for me as an employee
