HA-LEY-LU-YA.... all I can say, Thanks Barry

Last Emperor... we'll need to meet up and rip around Brooklyn together and NYC... which to all is just a few minutes away,,, usually 7 mins 4 me from the VZ , with C63 we'll cut it in half...lol Imgine the sound going through the BB tunnel woooo eeee as our southern friends would say,,,lol

Wall st... just through the tunnel, and yes ahhh, those tall buildings rebounding that Shake Rattle and Rolling thunder. I travel all over the U.S. nothing like Manhattan on a summer cool night, with all the lady hotties walking around...or for that matter winter, spring and fall,,lol

Heh, now the question is what is included in the Compound Braking System, and Track-Calibrated Suspension?

I'm thinking different pads and rotors, and different valving on the suspension.

whoover

Compound brakes mean aluminum hubs with ferrous rotors. This is what they use on many AMG brake upgrades and had been calling them "composite brakes." People confused that with ceramic rotors so they're now calling them compound brakes. The stock brakes are 360mm/6 piston on the front and 330/4 rear, and I haven't seen any indication that the Performance Package changes this. Because it's relatively cheap, my guess is that the two-piece rotors are the only change.

And the suspension is stiffer.

MB_Forever

+1, this is what they ended up doing on E and CLS

Derek@DRI

Nice, thank you for that information. When you say the suspension is stiffer, is it the stock shocks with different valving or new shocks all together? I am asking this on the other AMG Models of course.

whoover

I'm not sure what all they did. It could also involve different suspension components. The Performance Package on other models often include recalibrating the ABC suspension, but of course this is not applicable on the C63. So we will have to wait for more information than has been released. Again, because of the reasonable cost of the package I wouldn't expect much more than valving but that's speculation.

Sincity

Still no 19"?

Last Emperor

not for us americans

charl1exbr0wn

CF not included huh.
what a bunch of bs

Last Emperor

in canada its included but the PP cost 2500 more

in the US its just a 2500 stand alone option

RocaBENZ

Thanks for the info. too bad the the CF is still a seperate option and added expense.

Glock Guru

Now when is anyone going to post there new 09' with the package. All the new 09' posting and no PP.

dlbello

+1 still waiting....

OverBudget

I don't understand why they up the speed limiter from 155 to 174. Why not just remove it? I'll probably never even approach 155, but why have one if you order the performance package?

Glock Guru

So is that to say the car will do 174 plus? Will it hit 174 and "bounce off the rev limiter"? Any Idea what the top speed truly is. For the record I am talking about a stock car without the speed limiter.

I bet LE will chime in and tell us.

Derek@DRI

No he'll just make 3 threads asking the same question... j/k haha

jarjoug

I was told by the dealer that the speed of the C63 with the performance package goes to 186 mph.

Last Emperor

nah, i only chime in when i think i have an idea what im talking about ;-)

zeroordie196

i heard somewhere its limited to 174 because of the stress being put on the tires. i think it could hit close to 200. but this is just some hearsay so nobody ***** me out if im wrong.

IwantA124

Wasn't it 183mph before? Or is that just a euro thing?

charl1exbr0wn

yeah i thought it was 186 mph

TemjinX2

your the closest. There's a federal law where the car has to electonically limited to the top a speed the stock tires can go.

Uncle sam didn't want you to drive faster then the tires were rated for, then blow out and you crash and die.

most of the time, most oems put on cheap tires to save cost.
