trading e46 zcp coupe for a C63... a few questions

Hi, im new to the forum been lurking around for a lil while, and i got a few questions. I went to my local dealer and struck an amazing deal for a brand new 09 c63. The car the dealer had didn't have the performance package and i kinda really wnat it just for the limited slip. Also another question is how much harder is the ride in the suspension? 10 percent stiffer dosnt seem like u would really notice it. Other cars in my stable include modded out zo6 coilovers cam etc, a 996tt cab, 430 spyder so i am used to driving cars with a stiff suspension. I drove the non pp c63 and it didnt seem stiff at all. So for those of you with a PP car please let me know your thoughts?
Thanks
Adam

i have a c63 with the performance package and it is definetly the way to go. you can notice a difference in the feel of the car just driving around town. i dont think it is too stiff the point where it is uncomfortable but overall just more balanced feeling. (its for sale btw...haha)

I have a C63 with the PP and and so happy I got it. If you test a non-PP and a PP car back to back there is a big different. The suspension is a little stiff but it was fine on a 10 hour drive to Yosemite.

Same story, never drove a non PP car.
I also have a 330 e46 with M package and I can say that C63 with a PP is not that much harder.
