Does anyone know what to expect with an ECU tune of the P31 package?
Have any of the M-B tuners looked at this engine yet? Does anyone know why it produces 30hp extra? The M-B website states that it has forged pistons (will they be noisey in the Great White North winters?), 'lightweight' connecting rods, revised crank and ECU.
I wonder how much is coming from the ECU, since I don't see how the pistons/rods/crank will increase power, without increased breathing at higher engine speeds (i.e. intake/head/exhaust work normally required).
Confused...

It's nice to look at pictures, but I'd love to know how it drives/whether the engine feels different.
Presumably its a fraction quicker, but has more of an appetite for revs.
I've been scanning the motoring press daily for a review, anyone seen one yet?

The AMG site says "REVISED ECU" as part of the package as well.....that's a good contributor to 30 extra horses

Edit: Seems like the Canadian Mercedes-Benz website makes no mention of the Performance Package Plus. Maybe it's not even available in the Canadian market. And here's another thing that bugs me about that website. It says "4Gb MP3 Storage" when clearly you cannot save songs in MP3 format onto the hard drive. Misleading advertising, anyone?

Maybe OP can post some better photos to show the detail on that.

Congrats on the car Matt. The red looks sick! You helped me out with questions a while back when I was shopping for mine. I ordered almost the same set up (APX, LSD, premium, obsidian) no CF cause I couldn't afford it haha. I ordered for mid May, but after seeing yours I want it now!
Also in one of your pics I noticed an SLR, that must be awesome to see a supercar like that. Here in Ottawa I have never seen those in the dealerships.

I'm considering the P31 pkg, along with the LSD in Tenorite Grey Metalic on grey interior. However, I'm wondering if it makes more sense to save the 6k and remove the charcoal filters and flash the ECU instead. I could use the remainder to get the compound front (assuming the calipers are the same) & rear rotors, and still come out ahead. Presonally, I don't like the red rotors
If someone can share any facts on where they 30 extra hp come from (aside from the marketing crap) with the P31, that might sway me back in this direction - depending...

I live in Toronto, and have arranged to see a local dealer this Sat. Can anybody provide some Canadian pricing (i.e. actual deal they negotiated, including break-downs)

Performance package plus, Premium package, Rear view camera, metallic paint. Might of been carbon fiber trim in there too.
10k down, 60 month finance rate I think 3.9%. Taxes in. all other fees. the interest everything.
$91,000

Thanks. Based on the web based configuration options, they only had two packages: P31, and the luxury. Otherwise, there was just the LSD and metallic paint.
Can anyone share their negotiated Canadian price (for a 2010 C63) vs. the corresponding list price? What are the incidentals (i.e. freight/PDI, gas guzzler?, air tax). I'm trying to get a good idea what to expect when I speak to the dealer tomorrow.
Can anyone recommend a good dealer in the GTA (i.e. greater Toronto), that will negotiate on a C63. I heard that there are no demos right now in the GTA .
