I want to get mine tuned as well. Out of the three big tuners, I am leaning towards AMR the most, because I have heard the most good things about it.

But at the same time, I have only heard good things about it, never saw it. Really hard to justify a 2000 dollar purchase on just forum reviews and not having any video reference. If someone just uploaded a 0 to 100 run, where we can see the acceleration, that atleast would have given me some reference points to decide. Or even some legit time slips were uploaded, that would have greatly helped.

What do you mean? They have track videos, dyno sheets, etc. Their customers post these as well and everyone that has it loves the tune (myself included). They even warranty the software and the warranty lol it is actually pretty hard to find a downside to the upgrade to be honest.

I am yet to find a single video of an AMR tuned C43 which was not posted by AMR. Even then they have only 2 videos uploaded on their channel.

There is a guy named Scott Abrino, in the facebook group, whose car is kinda slower than my stock C43, which is really weird. Now he is the only one I have heard of fwho has a problem with the AMR tune. Otherwise I heard a lot of good things about them. So I am bit confused right now. A few customer videos of some pulls will really help me to make the move.

Id consider the upcoming Dinan tune on that brand new sexy car of yours!. They will offer their famous factory matching warranty on the Elite tuner that should be out in the next month or so!

C43_amg_nj on instagram is always posting his track videos and pulls and what not. Also, I saw that post and if you read further he was claiming to have a boost leak and exhaust malfunction causing vibration. If his car was up to par it would perform like every other AMR tuned C43. Common sense tell you that if there are tons of people that love their tune and one guy has an issue, it is most likely the guy or his car and not the tune/tuner. I am telling you as an AMR customer that you will more than enjoy the tune

I just got back from NJ and NYC for work and after driving there I would never own a luxury car with those roads. By far the worst I have ever driven with the potholes. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you don’t have the opportunity to get to know your suspension and rims guy go much, although it may be inevitable.

That being said, beautiful car! Enjoy and welcome.

Damn that Viper is sexy! Love that color!

Also, I know it's been a while, but how much of a difference is the 450 to the 400 stock vs stock? I mean I know the interior/exterior is pretty much the same but is the 450 an amazing upgrade or is it just like 'yeah, it's a bit better I guess' kind of an upgrade?
