I have an EVO X with full boltons stock turbo. How does the C63 compare in terms of power? Overall do you like the C63 better?

Thanks

I love how so many members here were either previous Evo owners or were able to keep theirs.

I too recently sold my 2005 Evo 8 for my 09 C63. I love this car, but do miss my Evo.

Just an idea! Did these two renders for a customer earlier, thought of sharing them with you here!





Wheels done in this rendering are our monoblock wheels, MB1 model, forged wheels, titanium graphite finish. A few guys over here have the same and they look real good on the Mercedes-Benz cars.

I don't like to talk bad about a business, and I certainly don't have anything good to say.

Anyway, you do what you find is best for yourself and your car and good luck.
that's cool, thanks for the input.

I have an Evo 9 with a BBK full and E85 pushing 445hp on a dynojet. Both cars are fun to drive, different but fun. The best way I can describe the C63 is power right now, as soon as you push on the pedal, you're motoring and it seems like it accelerates forever. In the Evo, the fun happens after 3500 rpms.
I have yet to take the Merc to the track, but on a road course, I'd still take the Evo. Daily, it's the Merc.

it was tough losing my evo but I really missed rear wheel drive. to me to really enjoy an evo i would have to go to a track and with my exhaust set up and tune i couldn't really enjoy the car in regular driving. before I had the evo I had an 01 E46 M3 manual, which was slower but rear wheel drive.

In terms of power, the C63 is a freaking animal. If the Evo is a pit bull, the AMG is a bull. The evo drove like a freaking go kart and I want that feeling back one day but I want rear wheel drive; which means in the future I will be looking for a 997 GT3

However, I can say that I will more than likely keep my C63. It gives me everything I want.

You have to replace the whole bumper, That's F1 safety car bumper from RevoZport, it comes with an LED option and CF lip and vents, it will be a good start.

I'm ordering one !

We seriously don't know, pics came from the interested customer, we just did the rendering with our wheels on it. Can't really decide on that setup on the red car whether to go with titanium graphite or brushed aluminum, both fit the car like a glove!
