2012 C63BS 2009 Ferrari 16M 2016 Cayenne turbo S 2019 G63
Took delivery today
Picked up my C63 today.
Very impressed and pleased with the sound and performance up to suggested 4500 RPM
Had a 2008 ISF as my DD before this and there is a load of difference between the two in ride quality, exhaust sound and low end grunt.. I am gonna really love this car.
By the way...in 040 Black, I am digging the red calipers!!

Congrats! I'd love to hear more details comparing the C63 to the IS-F. How did your IS-F treat you and why did you get rid of it? I have thought about picking one up for a DD as well..... I just love V8s. Was your IS-F reliable?

C63 AMG Arctic w/ Stage 1 Tune, DoubleXX pipe, MCD-631X coming soon
Looks awesome, and the red calipers are a nice change from the silver. Now, time for a GT PRO X pipe, to really unleash the car.

I just kinda got tired of the ISF after 2 years, but it was 100% trouble free.

congrats. loved the comparison between this and your old ISF. i test drove the ISF and while it was a great car (for lexus) i felt the C63 was more what i was looking for. good to see you are more happy with your AMG. you went all out on yours as mine is an 09 with no PPkg. but for what i do its great. just no "bragging" rights by not having the PPkg. im a fan of all the C63 reguardless of color and options.

Congrats on the car, it looks great. If you plan on doing any modifications to the car or, if you just have any questions about anything, feel free to give me a call. If you plan on keeping it stock, drive it and enjoy it. You have a great DD now and it was a great replacement for your ISF, which is a great car in its own way.

Congrats! Man, these cars just look bad-*** in black (even if it is a pain to keep clean -lol), and the contrast of the red calipers is the finishing touch.
Earlier this month, I had the opportunity to test-drive a C63 and IS-F back-to-back, as a local dealer had used '08s of both. The IS-F is a great car, but the C63 definitely felt better to me. The engine was better-sounding and more responsive, and the trans shifted much quicker. I drove both in "Sport" mode, and the C63 was so much more immediate. You touch the pedal, and it GOES! The IS-F had some major hesitation, almost as bad as turbo-lag, then would get moving. I had to double-check that I was in Sport mode. Exterior is a wash (for me), they both have an aggressive look that I like. The IS-F interior was nicer, and they are a few thousand less on the used market, but the C63 was definitely the more memorable drive.
