CLK63 Black Series
I was suppose to go to the Porsche event today at the LA auto show .... didn't feel like driving two days in a row to downtown ..... I love bikes, especially Ducati's.

Aero Pack - Rear wing, front winglets, requires rear seat delete.
You can get the track pack with rear seats.

They didn't "Just" change the tires. It sounds a bit more involved than that.
and you really shouldn't add more front downforce without adding more rear downforce. My guess it that rear wing is needed to actually generate additional grip with the front splitter and flics.
AMG doesn't seem like a compy to me that would stick a big wing on for the fun of it, it has a purpose.
If you don't like it just get the car without the aero package.
Or are you only buying for looks?

the tires were specially made by Dunlop for the this car. I saw the tires after some very harsh treatment at Laguna and they were holding well and also maintained their heat as well. These tires are more like racing intermediate tires than something you could get at local tire shop. The rear wing is functional and was put into place to balance the car when track option is added. No thanks!!!!. I rather buy a C63 coupe, put my own rims, have it tune(less than $2000), change the tires to something sticky(whenever they wear out), put a suspension kit for $2000, put a rear LSD for less than $2000, and have 99% achieved with $65,000 in the bank.
We are going to break a lots of hearts at the tracks and roads courses. I can see anyone owning a regular C63(sedan or coupe) with a mere $$6,000-10,000 in basic mods just fishtailing these Black series.
The black series is a beautiful car, it has the nice mods but the wrong price tag. My .2c

Dave, did you end up getting any laps in the BS, if so, knowing that you have driven an SLS many times on a track, how does it compare, power to weight ratio, acceleration and most importantly the sound. Thanks.

Its the same reason why the standard C63 does not have the full power of an E63/CLK63/SL63/CL63/S63. They will not allow a "base model" such the C63 surpass higher-end and more expensive models. Same goes for the C63BS vs SLS.

Seems like a hot car and significantly better than the stock C63, but it will face stiff competition if the price is closer to $135K, and I still prefer the look of the sedan better. As far as the big rear wing, I don't like the look either, but I wouldn't mess with changing it since aerodynamics are really important at higher speeds.

How can you be in a list in the U.S.A. (DiamondC63Coupe)They don't have the black series on their computers or any kind of equipment list. I was told from a dealer, as soon as they hear something they'll call me . The owner of the Mercedes dealership told me if I order it, he can get it? Car and Driver had a quote that they were all sold out? I wish I can get a straight answer.Anyone with opionions?
