Cause I don't have Sports +

kaz109

Yes u do....when in sport mode press the downshift paddle once and u will see it say D1.....floor it and u will have perfect shifts at redline and it holds the gear until redline unlike regular sport mode

C-63AMG

Cool. Thanks!

I thought Sports + was only on newer C's.

you learn something new everyday!
thanks for the added info kaz109..

kaz109

I am glad I can give some info back as I have learned alot from this forum. So what psi are you guys running for street tires?

C-63AMG

I run at 39 all round. Can't wait to test this Sports + mode out today.

MagasC63

Thank you my friend. I can't wait to test that out. I always thought it was on the newer c63 as well!! All I have to say is

_timothy

there is no s+ on pre 2012. S+ is a transmission mode on the facelifts. ie, c -> s -> s+ -> m

C-63AMG

That's what I thought before being told otherwise

kaz109

I understand what S+ is and I am saying even tho it is not labeled on a knob like the facelifts there is indeed a S+ on pre 2012.... if its not I would like to see the difference in the 2012 and pre 2012 to prove me wrong

I confirm. If you put the car in S1, S2, Swhatever, the car won't shift until the very end. But watch out for gas consumption lol.... it will turn the car into a mad beast.

C-63AMG

If in S1, S2 etc, I know it upshifts automatically but does it downshift automatically? and what's the quickest way of getting from S3 to normal S mode again? Is it just upshift paddle until it goes to S6 and then S?

Thanks

Guilty

Mine downshifts I think. I'll confirm in less than an hour lol

Guilty

Yeah it downshifts (kickdown and when you brake)

C-63AMG

Cool. Thanks

kaz109

So can somebody explain to me the difference since Timothy says I am wrong about pre 2012 having S+ mode? Curious to know

_timothy

you guessed it but i was talking about the selectable mode

as we know, the paddles can force it

kaz109

I think that mode and the S+ mode on the 2012+ are the same...wish we had a form of race start tho

MNL ICE

try R i think that means ROCKET launch!!!

kaz109

Lol..will do

Pre facelift cars only have Comfort/Sport/Manual modes (C/S/M)

D1 indicates that its in first gear

kaz109

I understand that but when switching to that the transmission response definitely to that of which it does when just in S mode....much more aggressive and only shifts when redline is reached unlike S mode which shifts before redline..thus having the same fuction as a S+ mode on the 2012+....as I stated earlier tell me the difference if it is not S+...only difference I see is 2012+ have it on a knob vs just engaging it via hitting downshift paddle on pre 2012 cars

callmiro

My car already does that in Sport Mode. Sport Mode typically shifts at redline and 30% harder.

They are two totally different trannys. Pre facelift has the 7G tronic and facelift and newer have the MCT. That's the difference.

What year C63 do you have?
