See MrDuckBootz. This is the proper way to shut people up. Just ONE photo like this in any of those cars and we will all shut up. You can even blur out your face if you would like.

one thing i find disturbing is that if duckbootz actually does own all them cars, and comes from a life of privilege, and luxury, he is still thick as sheeeet, and he will eventually be the next generation of responsible adults.
i guess its true, sometimes u cant help some people, i really hope he pulls his finger out and gets on track in life, as he is wasting his opportunity here

There is no free lunch, guys. This one should be obvious- whenever you add load and stress to a given component you shorten its serviceable lifespan. That's not to say the car won't still be "reliable" in the sense that it might go 100,000 miles or whatever, but it won't have the kind of life that the stock car will.
We'll be the truth tellers.
??????????????????????????????????
Super surprised this would come out of your mouths seeing you guys are a performance speed shop. I don't see how adding a tune to this car would shorten it's life span. from the factory the same motor put out way more power then the base c63. Just look at the 507 trim a tune barely does much. Take that into account essentially a tune gives you the power the factory detuned with a slight bump I don't see that doing any sort of shortening the lifespan and especially seeing that people on this forum have put thousands and thousands of miles on these tunes no issues maybe you are speaking of your tunes but the others on this forum are very reliable
Tell you what..PM me your details so i can take out a whole life insurance policy on you. when you kill yourself, i'll buy a C63 for myself and another to raffle off here for $100/ticket and only sell 100 tickets... we'll let your largesse and daddy's deep pockets be the benefactor and being so generous, maybe he;ll sleep better after he plants you

I don't think that anyone can possibly have any kind of "insurable interest" in MrDuckBootz's life... quite sad really but unfortunately all too evident based on this thread.

Actually - the statement by Speedriven1 is something I greately respect, because they are a tuning shop and it is the absolute truth. It's the vendors promising "free power" without a sacrifice in engine longevity that are misleading you, not the other way around. All other things being equal, the harder you push something, the shorter its lifespan is going to be. As for the 507 (or P31) tune, I'd like to bring to your attention the forged (stronger and lighter) engine internals with ~ 7 lbs reduction in reciprocating mass and the updated SLS valve buckets among other things. You're the one deluding yourself if you think a tune comes without any downsides.
Go cheap, go fast, go far - pick any two. You can't have all three. Kudos to Speedriven1 for saying it like it is.

Nice one. Which fighter is that?
Driving cars must seem so boring after flying in a jet.

Thanks for the support guys. I am an instructor at VFA-106 right now and fly both Legacy and Super Hornets. Pictured is an F/A-18F Super Hornet. Cars are still exciting. Flying jets can actually be really boring sometimes. A lot of the time is spent orbiting overhead something or just burning circles in the sky. Doing tactical stuff or flying at the boat (the aircraft carrier) is really fun and demanding.

Haha. Fair enough. Here's our cruise video from my last deployment in 2012. My roll call is around the 8:50 (BOOT!) mark. I can get video next time I fly too.
