Nick, I do have a question about your original post though? You said that you were able to track YOUR car at an AMG Academy (Track day). Did you do this during the school because I have been to many many manufacturere track days and I have never seen the manufacturer allow a student/participant take their own car out on the track?? Perhaps you did this BEFORE or AFTER the manufacturer track day. I did the Lexus ISF event at Joliet (AutoBahn) IL last year and they would absolutely NOT allow personal cars to be tracked??

I have not done one for MB and was not aware of this. It defies what other manufacturers are doing since none that I have attended, including BMW. Mini, Lexus, GM and even Chryco have allowed personal cars to be tracked during THEIR event.

Very good review and you're probably true in terms of the small hp increase not being felt as much as we all hoped to. However, it is worth it to note that the reliability from the lighter/forged engine parts is another note-worthy benefit.
I don't mean to complicate things further here, but the PPP (P31) option does not come with any suspension modification. The stiffer suspension came only as part of the P30 (old performance) package.

I believe that the P30 suspension upgrade is included in the 2011 C63 APX package aka PPP in Canada which includes P31 and P30 minus LSD.
