C63 amg coupe 2013
Just ordered my '63 amg; the bank is now open. pricing comes in June. I down loaded the 2012 car manual and do not understand s s+ c and m and how they relate to the car, tranny and paddle shifters---specifics please. Anyone? thanks in advance.

C is comfort - gas saver (oxymoron) - slow reaction - starts at 2nd gear, cruise around mode.
S is for sporty street driving, starts in first, computer shifts at higher rpm.
S+ is recommended for track use. computer shifts at highest rpm (red line)... millisecond shifts (i love to use that word)
M is for manual... you are on your own.
RS is race start mode. for a feeling of euphoria.
The SPORT button is for traction control. default/on, push one time/partial on, push for 3 sec/total off. "hold on for dear life"
oops, congrats on ordering, post pics when you get it.

another question Izzy
do more research but, basically it refers to how your engine and tranny reacts to your throttle smashing.

no, the paddles can be use anytime but it will react depending on what mode you are in and yes it will downshift on its own back to 1st gear in manual when you stop. If you want to downshift in steps aggressively, you do it manual in sport and sport+ and M. *sigh*. Hey, watch my videos!

Gotcha....just as I thought
can't wait to hit a banana curve and listen to those tires talking to me! Too bad the tires are not up to snuff on the C63...wider = more fun!!
thanks for taking the time to answer my question...I'll watch your video.

Anyway, I suppose I won't know 'til June exactly what new things, if any, the 2013 c63 will have. I was dying for serious rubber. Even if it were an option, I would purchase 19" with 275s or 285 in the rear. Front, 245 would be mighty nice. A well dressed man needs shoes. A well dressed car does, as well. It has been the weak link with this car, and almost every review said the same. I wonder why Merc [they are usually very responsive] had cotton in their eyes, with this.
