With well less than 1000 miles, I put the car into S+ today and holy chitt -- this thing is a friggin rocketship off the line and pulls like a freight train thru 120 mph -- that's as fast as I felt like taking her even though she was solid as a tank with no body roll.

I can't believe anybody would buy an m3 after driving this car for a few days.

The torque is retarded...

I have also noticed people checking out the car -- they could also be checking out my girlfriend, too

If you are on the fence, go out and buy this car.

Oh, and I am glad I got the straight black paint and the performance package -- the red calipers look sick with the black paint and look sicker with the wet tire look...

Also, I do recommend the alcantara, it looks way darker than it does in pictures.

Also, my black leather is darker than the black leather I saw on a c63 that I test drove from 2010 -- I don't know if they made it blacker?
Anybody know?

A pic of the interior also will help us answer that question for you.

Also, like many of you have already said, the seats are getting more comfortable and I've only had the car for a week.

No rattles as far as i can tell...

Brakes do squeak but I haven't bed them yet.
Will do that next weekend...

I'd sooner return her.

Not sure what you were expecting when you picked up a 6.2L V8 but I would think once you fired it up for the first time you would of had an inkling of what was to come when you mashed the skinny pedal

Just raced another c63, non-p31.

I destroyed him.

This puts to bed my erroneous suspicions that the p in p31 stood for placebo...

Sigh. My wife is the opposite. I haven't driven my car in almost a month. She jumps in the driver's seat and just smiles everytime we go out. I think I need a divorce.

That's a funny story.

So I asked her if I could post the pic on a forum and first she said "sure, why not".

Then, she said, "Oh, the one with me at the back of your car?"
"No way."

I said, "Why".

"Because I don't like the way my hair is blowing in that one."

So I told her I would white her out and as I was whiting her out she said that the whited out area makes her look fat so I told her I would leave just her elbow sticking out so everybody could see that she was thin.

Oh, and she also said that she didn't want me to post her in the pic because she didn't want ZephyrAMG jerking off to it -- she thought his signature pic made him look sexually frustrated.

Too funny but that is the story behind the pic...

there is a difference between driving fast and driving stupid.

you can drive fast, but not stupid and vice verse.
