I've driven about 900 miles in about 4-5 days since i picked it up from the dealership 600 miles away. I've been driving conservative. Do you guys think its about time i can let her rip a little? or just wait longer lmk thx

 

Go2.. what the point of warranties anyways

 

I would.

I had my car on the dyno with 180 miles on the odometer.
Currently 2900 miles and the car runs like a champ.

 

100 more miles wont kill ya. Then its fun time...

 

When the car is fairly new you should do some progressively harder pulls (4.5K RPM, 5.5K, 6K) on a fully warmed up motor to get the rings to seat properly.

Although it is probably too late, I would do that now and build up to going fully WOT.

 

Anything that is going to go wrong (due to improper assembly/machining) will have already happened.

Give it hell.

 

I LOVE THIS CAR!

 

Corey @ Kleemann told me to drive it hard once I got the car.

 

Thats what i did with my car

 

Just got my tune from Jerry at Eurocharged today.....530 miles, can't wait to hammer her to redline next week or so.

 

i just hit 950 miles waiting for that 1000 mark to hammer it.

 

Too late, your car is already an underperformer after babying her.

 

Adaptive ECU. Beat the **** out of her at 1k miles. She will learn...


Your tranny and rear will thank you for the nice treatment.

 

I took my car to 5.5K Rpm, then 6K after fully warming up about a dozen times in the first 500 miles so the rings should have sealed properly w/ out damaging the drivetrain.

 

Nobody ever said anything about a break-in period when i got my C63.

I tough the engine had been tested and pre-breaked-in.

So I was hitting the rev limiter 2 hours later.

I read somewhere that the C63 engine is tested for a few hours at redline.

these engine can take an amazing amout of heavy driving especially with the stock 450 hp detuned setup.

 

No window sticker? It is more to protect the driveline. Going hard early if properly warmed up better seals your rings.

I am pretty sure that you are just fine in any event.

 

I drove mine like I STOLE it first day off the dealership's lot. At 3700 miles, I had to replace my rear tires.

 

i believe this is true. Have you ever seen American Chopper? Well on one episode they go to the AMG factory in Germany to do research for an AMG chopper. They show how one engineer makes the engine and they throw the engine on this machine which simulates an actual AMG car on the track. So those engines are being redlined at the factory. I would say break in for 500 or so miles then let it rip.

like someone else stated, you have a warranty for a reason. i think 1000 miles is a long time to wait (not in your case since you have done it in a week) before opening up a car.

 

981 miles on the odo Almost there.

 

The rings were already sealed during the factory breakin.

How much oil do you burn?

 

Only have 620 on the car, so we will see.

 

Sweet... ahhh I remember the first 600... C63 is such a great car.


Now im bored with the speed so mods here I come.

 

Propain,

Talk to me brother...what are you thinking? Diffuser? K2? Cat delete? Did you ever pursue a 2010 or 11. Whats the status? Talk to me...

 

the cars at amg driving experiences are driven HARD and i'm not sure that they go through a break-in procedure and they seem stronger than my cars which i've more or less followed break-in suggestions.

 

Well.... Im waiting on my contact to get back to me on Aug savings. Im pretty much writing that off. We wont see the savings we did last year so it wont be worth getting into a new C63.

My first mod will be the OE tune from TTMotorsports. Air Box mod. K&N filters. Charcoal delete. Stage 1 tune with stock, 93 and 100 octane settings.

I will most like get used to that for about 1 month and then get the LSD. I hear it makes a huge difference.

Beyond that I am looking into a Cat delete. Probably do this with the LSD. No LTH's. I want to preserve the C63 sound and not take away from the MB style. What I mean by that is I don't want to wake the neighbors for 3 to 4 blocks away every morning. It will turn my MB into an obnoxious machine rather than a fast MB. For 20HP loss ill just live without them.

Thats the plan!
