Drove new PPP and my non PP on track

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.

Mercedes/AMG dropped the "stiffer suspension" all together from the PPP (P31 package) and is not even orderable as a stand-alone option anymore on the C-Class here in the U.S. I am not sure how what the option entails in Canada, but I would guess it'd be very close the U.S. option

I maybe mistaken then..... usually many of these schools follow the same rules. If all the ones you listed did not let you drive your car, I am pretty sure you won't be able to drive yours in the Mercedes event. The reason I initially said they allowed it was because I remember reading that they gave you an option to drive your car or theirs a few years ago
