Performance pakage confirmed for CANADIANS.

My dealer just called and confirmed that I can order my car with PP, but I dont know if I should do it or not, Its gonna be my DD and I will drive my Wife and kid too. But I do want LSD in my C63.

What you guys think?

You can also order the LSD on its own (instead of the whole PP). At least over here.

Probably a good move to get the LSD for this beast. Surely, there'll be a Canadian dealer that gets one in with the PP that you can test-drive?

Any word on the pricing for this option?
Also, do you know the pricing of the options?

If you plan to drive the car in any bad weather, you will probably want that LSD. 400+ lbs/ft of torque and no LSD makes for some challenging driving in snow.

He didn't have a price yet, there's another option which is premium package which includes pretty much everything you need, navigation, logic7 ETC my salesman said its gonna be around 3000 or so, he should know by the end of the month.

tell me about it, I drove my 05 E55 in snow, it wasnt as bad as i expected but wasnt fun either


Well i dunno if i can test drive one, the one that coming in MAY do not have pp i believe. PP is available on 09 build cars like mine, which will build in june.

The ride is hard enough as it is, I'd take the LSD for sure, perhaps even the boosted brakes, heck, everything besides the harder springs.

When I spoke to my dealer about the PP for the C63 and it's pricing.. he obviously didn't have any information on it, or the pricing, but he told me the E63 PP costs around $7500CAD.

yes but you see E63 is 2 times more expensive... so i guess C63 PP might cost 4 gs or so?

e63 pp is 11,000 CAD. i hope the c63 pp is not that much

actually, comparing the prices of the pp's on the other amg, its also about 11,000 for the cls63, and 8500 for the slk55 pp, which doesnt include the limited slip. given this, i dont see the c63's pp being much cheaper. maybe this is why they priced the car so low

Forget it. The 'standard' C63 is harder. Harder than the M3, harder than anything from AMG up to now. The PP will make it a cart.
