C63 AMG
Yep...the LS7 isn't going to be a good idea with boost, I'd say 4-7 lbs max; so it'd either be nitrous, serious heads/cam/bolt ons, or a different short block. You could probably get an LS7 up to 620-640 fwhp with H/C/I/bolt-ons while still be totally streetable. If cost was an option; you'd be better off starting with an LS3 "base" 'Vette...but it would have the appeal of the Z06 or ZR1.
Killer setup would be a used Z06 (only cause it's cheap) and a twin turbo LS3 or 454 LSX.

I think you meant to say that it would not look like a Z06 or ZR1. Comparing a base model vette with the Z06 or the ZR1 is like comparing the C300 with the C63 AMG, seriously, everything is different.Changing the subject, I would recomend starting with a base Vette with a LS3 engine. I just traded a C6 Z06 with stage III heads,QM600 cam , LG motorsports headers, tune, Killer bee air filter, ported Throtle body and ported intake manifold and I never liked it, the power was not refined.
Traction was a nightmare..

you know what, for all the faults the OP has, and for him to make a post like this we can certainly point them out...you gotta give the dude credit. He feels the way he feels, and hes not afraid to look completely superficial insecure while saying it. Honestly, that says he really isnt insecure to need a car to make him feel better about himself, because he freely admits it.
Its the guy who buys the $70k car and suffers in silence thats insecure.
Just saying. Man this thread is a sociological enigma. I dig it.

To say you purchased a MB without even the slightest thought of impressing others you are just lying to yourself. The exhaust note alone on this car is pretty much a ***** extention. Ever time you hammer if when you pass a bunch of people you KNOW you look up to the rear view to see their reaction. Its human nature.
Good for you OP! I agree the car doesnt get THAT much attention for a 70K car. You can buy a 120K S550 and be invisible if you want? Those cars are a dime a dozen for some reason where I am. I have yet to see another C63 on the road. Not one. That alone makes me feel secure in my purchase.
If you wanna feel unique and turn heads you need to go classic. Before I went 100% track on my chevelle and Charger I got stopped at every light with people asking about the car.
This is my next attention *****... Im saving up my pennies...

I have been following all the progress of the GTR and what not and the Cobb alone is not going to get you in the 10's. There are only a couple of shop and a couple of private owners that have a whole lot more than just a Cobb and run 10's on the GTRs but the Cobb alone wouldn't do it.

When that picture was originally posted here a few years ago, we had a ton of guys drooling, but then out of left field, one of our few female Off Topic posters chimed in with "She's so hot, I'd do her. And I'm a girl!"

I know many on this forum wouldn't be caught dead in a Mustang, but I saw/heard a 2010 Shelby Mustang GT500 a few days ago - pretty nice. It was raining, plus it looked like they had just taken delivery, so I didn't get to see how quick it was.

I think you forgot his HKS mid-pipe which removes the primary cats. No one has been in the 10s on tune only...... yet. Plenty of GTRs easily run 11.0-11.1 with those two mods. You buddy hit 10s because he was able to pull a 1.6 60ft time. Hell of a nice run for him.

A little manual on how to get atention on your C63.
Man, you have so many options other than sell the C63:
As Yooker once suggested:
You can do as HIRO did. You'll probably get a lot of attention from the asian chicks (which I find very attractive, btw). Notice the Black Series logo:
You can also do a paintjob like this:
As a last resort, you can trade for one of those. THAT'S what I call CRUISING:
As Yooker once suggested:
1) Replace cigarette with Cuban Cigar
2) Wear an orange jump suit
3) Listen to euro trance music so loud you can't even hear your exhaust at WOT
4) Install 20inch chrome wheels
5) Withdraw your entire life savings from the bank in terms of $100 bills and have them in a duffel bag on the passenger seat, at random throw a fist full of money out the window
6) Red means go, Green means stop.
7) Passing a cop car doing twice the speed limit gives you instant street cred to pick up chicks, extra points if she makes eye contact with you while you're in the back of a patrol car.
Repeat steps 1-7 as necessary.

That's the car Stephen Ireland bought for his girlfriend. Ireland plays for Manchester City. Apparently, he spent £264,000 on that. What some guys will do for love...

Seriously, who cares what other people think. The beauty of the C63 is that is IS so LOW KEY. Not to mention trying to impress nitwits or those that just don't know performance cars.
How about a Impala with the number 88?

I get a few looks here and there in my C63 from "car people", or those with modified cars. But I get tons more attention in my Challenger. (Yes, the smart too)

A couple other modern cars that will get stop-n-stares are the new Challenger, and Camaro.
If you REALLY want to snap those necks though, grab a Used Aston Martin Vantage.

Dude who the hell cares. You are driving a car that cost more than most peoples homes in P-ville. You could spend a 1/4 of money on a car and get more attention. Hell people just think I am driving a souped up version of a Z car here.
A benz is an understated gentlemans car and a AMG version to me says a bit more than its just a benz it means the owner has a passion for cars(most of the time!!!!).
You got the wrong car if want to be an attention *****
