Hello everyone

First time posting here and just wanted to ask some questions/ start a convo (I'm sure it's already been asked so sorry for the repetition/ anything I get wrong)

i have read that while MB state power for PPP c63 is circa 480 they often dyno above 500 in line with 507 ...

So would you get a PPP or go Stock and aftermarket (tune plus exhaust etc) ??

All C63's tuned get to the same power basically, the PP cars and 507 have upgraded tunes from the factory, but when you tune them they all end up at the same point.

The difference is the rest of what you get with the PP package, upgraded brakes, some upgraded engine internals for reliability and the red brake calipers and few carbon bits.
