Dad's C63 actually IS a dedicated track car after all
OK I guess I was wrong....Hadn't seen Keith's car in a while but despite what some have said I did not feel it was close to the term "dedicated track car". Well that changed as of today when I saw it after the most recent mods but Keith, I am concerned that Dave may not have quite matched the Barolo Red and the Chevy decal isn't fooling anybody.

That "bolt in" roll cage DOES in fact give the C63 a race-car look.

no more AMG
I was expecting a little higher quality from MPH... check out the rust on the headers. At least he's proving you CAN run larger then 275's in the rear without rubbing!

I see the roll cage fit nicely and the hood vents were very practical
