It was surprisingly sunny in Melbourne today! I'm in Glen waverley.

As for spec, it is a pre update 09 model. I didn't think there were many spec differences aside from the performance pack?

I test drove a 2010 with pp but for $40k less the 09 was a better buy.

The eurospec tune looks like a cheaper alternative to rival the pp - althought that leather dash is magical!

For sure, Leather Dash is good, but that's another "extra", it doesn't come with the P.P.

They are a reputable shop did you get before and after dyno figures?

Do you before and after track times?

I would be concerned chucking out that much and not noticing anything especially with the c63, the flash tune is best bang for buck mod.

I waited nearly 4 years until it got to a price point where I could 'sort of' afford one, 160+k for a new one is waaaaay out of my league. 08 pre owned (cpo) for low 90's was much more affordable.
