Congrats. You are probably one of the few that will take this beast on the track. Looks like it is actually doing pretty good on tires after over 2K km of track

It's really nice to see someone drive a C63 BS the way it's meant to be driven - aggressively on and off the track! Congrats!

It pains me to see high performance track cars that are never driven aggressively. The thought of Tamara Ecclestone with her stilletos in a 599 GTO or Kim Kardashian in a 458 Italia makes me want to throw up!

Barry very nice report and showing lots of use too.

Glad to hear that you are enjoying the car and putting it to good use.

You have a wonderful car, Barry. I want to thank you for allowing me the opportunity and pleasure of driving your C63 AMG Black Series at Mosport for a few laps. Compared to my C55 AMG and 135i, the biggest obvious difference is the massive increase in torque and power. Now I know how you pass so many cars.....

I wish I turned on my Harry's laptimer pro on my iphone so I could see what my laptimes were in your car. It must have been pretty fast, as passing that CTS-V was pretty easy, even with ESP fully on.....

love it !

It depends on how hard you drive. I toasted my rear Dunlops in 2500km's of mostly street driving and 1 AutoX event.

I really understand #14

Glad the car is all you were hoping for and then some. Did you happen to have the optional R compound Dunlops and if so what are your thoughts in comparison to others regarding performance, longevity and price?

Thanks Pat, You and Rob are the only 2 guys I would let track lap my car. Glad you enjoyed the run!!

NORTH 44 C63

I did run the Dunlops for 3 track days and 7600klm. Stock the toe-in was too aggressive and i corded the outside fronts . There was lots left on the fronts at that point (except fro the corded edge) and the rears hasd about 20% left.

I have since corner balanced and set the front end right and it stopped the push in corners. I think if you stay light on the feet and run smoothly you can get great milage on the Dunlops. The 03 compound is amazing on track. Not quit slicks but very close>>>

Have a fresh set of the Dunlops in the garage ready to replace the PSS after a few more track days>>>

GrnLantern

Awesome. Very awesome. Glad you're enjoying! And thanks for the write up.

Continue to enjoy in good health!

(Congrats again!)

So good to hear that its all what your expected and more! You coming this way anytime soon, I believe there are a few lapping days at the end of July here at Calabogie, I am pretty much booked to go!

NORTH 44 C63

Shoot me the dates and I will try my best to make one>>>

C55 to C63 to BS, dude you just keep moving on up!

NORTH 44 C63

Thanks Viper, Glad you followed the progression. The BS is a MONSTER on the track. Really well set up right out of the gate and with a few minor adjustments it really comes into its own. So much so that I am looking at doubling up my track days the rest of the season. As long as the "honey" fund permits..
