C63 2012
But they didnt paint calipers on 2009 in red. So check your rotors as well - they must(could still) be 2 pcs.
But sounds like you have Perf Package with a carbon fiber trim package

Sorry, no hp increase with the P30 package, but more important upgrades to the chassis so you can take greater advantage of the existing power. AMG themselves refer to the P30 as a handling package which "provides considerably better driving dynamics and an even sportier vehicle handling".

You are confusing the P30 pack with the P31 (PP). The P30 pack did not increase HP, the P31 did (481hp). I remembered back in 09 when I was looking at the C63 I asked why they didn't increase power for the P30.

Interesting. I've provided many, many Datacards, and all P30s had increased output.

The P31 package started in the 2010 MY with Dec '09 production. So the split from P30 to the P31 package started with build dates at some point in December 2009. The top speed for both packages was raised to 174mph. I had a 2010 P31 package car and it listed option code P30 AMG Performance Package on the data card. You had to go by the build date. If prior to the December 2009 build date there was no performance increase after that there was a 30 hp performance increase. All 2009 MY C63 in NA had no performance increase and the same for 2010 MY C63 with build dates until December 2009.

You're not misinformed. You are correct that 2009 P30 performance package only included increased speed limit, rougher suspension, true 2 piece rotors, and alcantra steering wheels. P30 production lasted until December 2009, so some 2010 C63's have P30's. P31's came into production January 2010 and onward.
