C63 AMG 495HP
Talking Hello from FRANCE (new C63AMG owner)

hello !

here i am with my C63 AMG from 2008.

my car comes with perf pack P30 (the pack with SLD and better brakes)

i have tinted all my windows in black, and the ECU has been modified.
Now the car has 495hp and 588 of torque , no speed limit...

what a rocket car... if i compare to my latest car : an audi RS4 v8

here in France 1 liter of SP98 (the best fuel) is about 2.32$ for 1 liter !!!!

the exhaust sound is very cool, the gear box is a pleasure.

i have added the vim (video in motion) box.
i have updated the NTG4 with new map (thanks newsg***) but has taken so much time (i have let all night on battery... and the morning there was no more battery )

the car has just been detailed and is now as new

now i'm waiting to receive the chrometec leds..... from ebay
and the K&N air filters from ebay too
(why ebay ? because with euro/dollars it's cheaper for me to buy outside europe).

and it will be enough i think.

perhaps carbon fiber in the car, but is't very expensive.
perhaps the 3M di-noc sticker... i 'll see later.


bon baiser de France.

fred.

i'm just near Paris... approximatively 10 mn in car.

tinted is not forbidden... the law says that visibility should not be alterated.
so it's only words... and police has difficuly to tell was is good or wrong.
but if you drive slowly when police is here, and open the window they can see you, and can't say nothing.
if you don't look like a burglar they just can be jalous with their old broken cars.

il y a un systeme qui s'appelle "coyote" c'est un avertisseur de radar qui fonctionne avec une puce gsm , et tous les utilisateurs sont informés en temps réel (et peuvent alerter les autres) de la présence d'un radar mobile sur leur itinéraire.
ca m'a sauvé pas mal de points.
donc on peut toujours rouler, mais c'est risqué c'est vrai avec les points et les amendes.

concernant les leds, j'ai contacté un garage qui fait du tuning, il me propose de monter les leds (demontage-découpe-remontage du parechoc) pour 200€


in english :
driving fast is dangerous for our driving licence here in france and a little faster you can loose your driving licence.

we have like "CB" but in gsm now.
all people who have this "coyote" can alert and be alerted when there is cam speed or fly police near you.


other question about leds:
i found a tuning garage that will put leds for 200€

sorry for my bad english but i try to do my best

How is the suspension on that car? I've heard the P30 suspension was really, really stiff?

it's smoother than bilstein.
but yes, it's hard/strong.. but it's not like a race car.
i think the P30 gives 10% harder than the no P30 AMG.

hope my answer is easy to understand.

Ok. I think they actually removed the improved (may or may not be) suspension because of customers complaining it was too stiff. I've come to understand that dealerships aren't allowed to sell an SLS with a stiff suspension before the customer has tried one out personally. But somehow i think the SLS stiff might be a tad stiffer yet
Congrats on your car. It's beautiful

that's right.
there are taxes for new cars and used cars.
a used car like the c63 amg is about 2000€

and the ron98 is expensive too (1.65€/L)

a sport car is expensive.... but it's nothing if we compare to lamborghini ferrari ...
