No man, we're good. I got your point and we are saying the exact same thing. I was just trying to say that I didn't but it for the upgrade in power, I bought it for all of the other things. And I'm realistic about and am on the same page with Jerry about the tune. I do NOT expect any more gain with the tune than say, I had had bought one of the last standard C63's. Or to show how realistic I am viewing it, I don't expect more gain that my 2010 and the tune that I had on it. He can only squeeze what he can out of the same engine, not matter what it came like from the factory. I totally get it. I saw value in the extra's and stupidly a wish and desire that the car would still be worth something and somewhat of a special breed in 10-15 years.
I hear ya man. Do you see what I'm saying?

If there would have been a 507 available in the color I was after when I was getting my C63, I would have opted for it.
I would've just skipped the tuning.

Yeah, I have already bought the tune, have the handheld OBD II, and Jerry charges a small fee to switch the tune to the other VIN. I might not gain HP, but the shift points are changed, so it's not really a waste of money in my case. I have a great relationship with him and will get some gain and sportier shifting. To be redundant, I'm realistic about the tune.
But you do have some good questions to raise and some valid points.
But yeah, the hood alone almost sold me. Since we've been spelling it out here I'll tell you. I bought it for the:
Black Series Hood
Special Wheels
Alcantara inserts
Alcantara steering wheel and shift knob
There, I've said it.

I lucked out and got the alcantara/DINAMICA inserts on the seats because I chose the black MB-Tex/DINAMICA seating package. I imagine that leather and DINAMICA feels even better.
And the alcantara shift knob with the Affalterbach crest is very nice. I ordered one from my parts department a while ago but have yet to install it.

You post the most immature and incomprehensible comments on the board, and even when you try to say something even remotely relevant it is usually wrong. Even if you did have some technical knowledge (which you don't), there is no way that you could have ever passed the ethics and professional concepts course that is a requirement in every single accredited engineering school in the US and Canada. I really fear for the fate of humanity if an engineering school allowed someone like you to even enroll, let alone graduate.
Now, please - PLEASE - stop behaving like a spoiled 5-year-old. You were already warned and yet you still continue with your drivel. Engineers are taught to learn from their mistakes, so please put that training you claim to have to some good use for a change.
