Nice review, beautiful car. A bit OT, but what exactly is Beyond.ca? Is it just a mash of autoblog articles and a forum?

Thanks. It's a site I started years ago, and is now Canada's largest car forum. There's a lot of autoblog articles because we're an AOL partner.

Think those front brakes can bolt up to our cars?

Rage,

Great write up. Did you get the track pack in your BS? Any engine mods in the future?

The car has the track pack, basically every option except Aero.

No plans on engine mods yet, at least, not till I get bored of what the car can do.

The black is sexy in the Black Series. That Aero package would have added to the anger!

Some fun pics that didn't make the cut for the article...

Booster seat fitment, tons of room for a 4 y/o:

Congrats on finally getting her!
You equipped it perfectly, that's exactly what I would have ordered.
Beautiful pics, can't wait for the review after 1000mls.

Damn, now that I've seen these BSs arrive, I want one

Our non BS C63 are pigs in the corners and it's the one big thing I don't like about my car, sounds like the BS takes care of that--if I didn't need the four doors, I'd be all over one of these, there are a couple sitting at dealers, hmmmm
