But then sometimes, I think about keeping the C63 and buying a custom hotrod, been thinking about getting a CSX4000 lately
Kinda want a open air hotrod, seeing that my c63 is my current hotrod and I use the four doors a lot less than I thought I would.

Enjoy that beast!
I am in a similar spot. I have a Kleeman tuned C63 with AMG's Perf Packagae that my wife keeps borrowing. Since I could use a little more back seat room since my kids are growing, I'll probably give my C63 to her. I am looking at a CLS63, M5 and S6 9or RS6 (if Audi will make one). I have a Kirkham 427 (they make the aluminum CSX4000s), and it is a great companion to a C63.

I suggest you get the Weistec tune, as it is the best so far for the M157, along with their air filters (they are free when you purchase the tune). You car should hit 630RWHP
+1

and the filters may add also beyond 630rwhp

Night and day. Beyond the obvious aluminum vs. Fiberglass body difference (which is a huge factor), every single piece on the Kirkham has a great hand built feel and is made fom the best materials. The Kirkham is lighter, better made and (in my opinion) better looking. Although the proportions are close, there is something that is just a little off on the Superformance. The difference is like a Remington shotgun compared to a Purdey. Both are nice shotguns and both can bring home dinner. But if quality, details and feel are important to you, the the value of Kirkham far exceeds the price differential. Plus David and Thomas Kirkham are great guys to work with.

The Kirkham feels and looks like a Cobra built by a Swiss watchmaker. A Timex has 12 numbers and can provide the time, but a Patek Philippe is pretty special. You never own one and think "Man, I wish that I had bought a Timex (Superformance)."

Thankfully, we don't.

Well it might be relative for Austrailia but in Asian countries the minimum wage is under 10 usd a day and and the price of a c63 are easily over 200k lol

Dealer still hasn't removed them from the car, but the salesman assured me the tech would start on it first thing this week. Sorry for the delay.

Tax here is 8.75%, so add that to 82k selling price for OTD cost.

I thought you don't pay taxes if you export the vehicle?

When purchasing a new car from the United States, the dealer has to make you sign a document stating that you can NOT export the car for one year

Easy. Just 'sell' the car to a relative who will export it right away. It will be convenient if this 'relative' lives in a state where there is no taxes (I think Oregon, correct me if I'm wrong)
