Thanks everyone, as you can imagine every opportunity i have had i have been driving this car trying to rack up the miles to get past this break in, i have put on about 500km which is about 360 miles since tuesday evening. I could swear that this car is getting louder with each pasiing km(mile). The downshifts are getting louder with gurgles and pops, i think for about 75% of the time i have been driving this car in the manual mode, i am very impressed with the double clutching and blipping of the throttle, last night as i was declerating under a overpass, i shifted from third to second under the overpass with my drivers side window down and the rear window down about half and it was the loudest blipping of the throttle, mixed with these pops,bangs,gurgggling of this 6.2 V8, LOUD. I had two guys pull up to me last night in an audi s4, probably like a 2006, keeping their distance where their windows were down and cruising a distance behind perfectly allinged with the exhaust, after cruising their for about 30 seconds they nudged up to my window and were hand gesturing as if they were praying, yelling, "please throttle this thing abit for us", I obliged with a perfect downshift and mashed the throttle, i looked behind and saw the both of them reacting the way i would, giggling, knee slapping with eyes wide open. This car gets reactions from young and old, I have only had the car for a few days and i have a few stories already, this car is ridiculous. I know to some of you you might think this is the first time this guy has a fast car or something, but that is the opposite, i am not easily impressed with cars as my expectations are high, i have owned and tracked many cars as i belong to many SCCA clubs and have had lots and lots of track time, so beware, this is a refined monster, this car will put a smile on every owners face, if it doesnt, you are not driving this car properly. I will get some pics on the weekend, maybe tomorrow as the weather is to be nice, BTW, i just placed an order for the 19" tires as my 19" AMG V 16 Spoke wheels are waiting for me at the dealership, so hopefully by the end of next week i will have the multi spoke amg wheel on the car.

08' S550,,,C63!
My car has only 200 miles on it and I feel the saem way the car gets louder and I am cruising at 80mph and dont even realize I am at that speed, It feels like going 50mph.

I already had a few people wanting to race just because their hear the sound of the exhuast but the funny part most people here dont even know whats a C63, which is what makes me smile when they question the exhaust sound.
