Mine was supposed to... it was on the label... but it did not (confirmed electronically).
How did you confirm it electronically???

09 C63 (Coming Soon)
That dude is a sucker... 1,500 posts and he copped a 650? Ha, what a tool... glad he got banned. The look on his face will be priceless when he pulls up next to a C63 and gets MASHED on. I wouldn't get a 650 just because its more 'bang for the buck' or whatever...

Yeah I thought 1200 for a computer tweak was a bit much but I did not want to wait another 7 months for my car.

Is this the same dealer that confirmed your LSD by doing burnouts in the parking lot?

I don't know of a single C63 PP car that has not come with the Differential break in sticker. Did you car have the regular break in sticker on it?

Sounds like you car may not have been a PP car at all.

I still think this whole thing is fishy. Your dealer should be able to tell you by the build sheet exactly what is in the car. This is how they were able to tell what was missing from some of the cars.

I don't believe for a second that the car has a build sheet that says it has a LSD and it doesn't. This is very different then what is on the window sticker.

I didn't mean to say they checked for LSD by doing a burnout... I checked for it by trying that. Of course, there is an eLSD which is different from mechanical so I don't really know how to confirm *truly* for a mechanical LSD except take my dealer's word for it. I hit 155 mph once and the car choked... so I took it to the dealer and they confirmed it did not have the 174 mph upgrade. I did get a PP car if you look at my sticker... but it didn't have any of the PP parts it seems! Maybe I should go for more than a $1500 refund
