In the latest edition of AutoBild Sportscars the C63 P31 is up against the standard competition: M3 Comp., CTS-V, IS F, B3 S and a few more premium cars such as the TechArt GT, MTM RS6 and Panamera Turbo.

Feast your eyes on the P31 lap time

Scan is pretty poor so times also listed below:

Sachsenring times:

1. 1:40,1 min - C63 AMG PPP (on Continental SportContact 5P M0, 18")
2. 1:40,6 min - M3 Sedan CP
3. 1:40,9 min - B3 S Biturbo
4. 1:41,7 min - CTS-V
5. 1:42,1 min - IS F

C63 recorded a faster time than the Panamera Turbo and came within half a sec of the MTM RS6

it's about time our beloved P31 gets some print.


I also just read an article in Mercedes Enthusiast July issue (a Uk publication and I'm a little behind on my car reading).
It just listed a more detailed review of the pkg and its performance numbers as stated by MB and a little more detail on the pkg components.
Nothing earth shattering, but a good review nonetheless.

thanks KEMA--but I'm sure some members will say it's hogwash and BS because our beloved P31 seems to get no love by many C63 owners (the one's w/o the pkg)

I'm glad I ordered mine with p31. I wet myself a little after seeing the times.
