NEED ADVICE HEADERS VS STAGE 1 VS NEW W205
Happy Friday everyone,
So the situation I find myself in is this
headers installed 2500 roughly
superchager 10 k installed
new w205
10 k down with alittle more monthly but not crazy
I have a 2013 c63 that i wrapped and did OE tune, but unfortunately i have found myself in a situation that I would like more power and the cost is almost a new car
what would you guys do? I love the car and it has treated me well, ive only had it for a year and would still eat a almost 15k downpayment to some extent because trade in value is only 5k over what i owe
Thanks

so price of supercharger and headers for c63 = 15k roughly
w205 downpayment = which includes a newer car, and tune and downpipes at 4k is equal to the supercharger plus headers for older c63
and W205 makes more power

I personally like the w204 a lot more than a w205, that is why I bought a w204 a year ago, don't love the exterior, don't like the interior at all and the 6.2l is just such a fabulous motor and likely the last of it's kind, but if you just want to make a lot of power, certainly the newer technology and turbo motors are the way to go, cheaper to mod and big power can be had!

Forget dyno numbers I have real world results.i trapped 121-122mph on a full bolt on 204 and a friend was trapping 114-115mph in his c63s bone stock.
That same night my other friend was trapping 120-123 in his modded e63s.
Edit it was the normal 63 not an s model.

I think something is off about that dyno. I don't believe that a stock C63 S is making more at the wheels than its advertised to be making at the crank. If that dyno is accurate, the C63 S makes nearly 700 tq stock. Bull****.

It was tested on a MAHA dyno, which are used by most of the manufactures. You don’t have to believe it, but the car is discutingly fast for being stock.

Edit: Other dyno.

So yeah, unless this particular C63 S is a factory freak, no way is it making 20-25% more power than it's rated at.

I love the w204, it will always have that place in my heart and the w204 c63 looks great, but the new tech + turbo's are nothing to fall asleep on and are monsters.
OP -- I'd get the 205. Newer car, newer tech, it's fun. You'll never get any money back sinking that money into your current car in mods.

The newer turbo'd AMGs are typically putting down more power than rated from factory. Hell, I have over 760awtq in my E just off a tune and dp.

My buddy’s C63s made 510/600 with downpipes on the stock tune.

I don't doubt that the new C63 makes good power and has huge modification potential. What I don't believe is that this particular C63 S is making that kind of power stock. If it was tuned, it would make sense to me. Bone stock from Mercedes making almost 600 wtq? No ****ing way.
