so a fully optioned out brand new C63s is around 104k CAD
then add another 30-40k for this mod-and you have 700 awhp monster
De-badge it- take it to the track- hit low 10s - beat most cars then get kicked of the track for not having safety bars- get a smirk on the face -laugh all the way back home then park it.
I don't get the appeal

Not knocking it but just my thoughts IMHO a serious and expensive tune like this for the M177 will work wonders or at least be worth doing on the new upcoming E63 more so than the 205 series C63, simply because the new E63 will have AWD across the board.
700 or so hp and the better part of 1000nm at the wheels on a RWD only vehicle will mostly be wasted for the majority of street driving conditions, unless you plan on doing regular off road or track work with a C63.
In many Countries it will also totally void both insurance and warranty, I certainly would never want to be driving a car like this without insurance...as good as this tune sounds and disregarding the high cost I'll pass on those 2 reasons alone just my 2 cents.
I'm with IcemanII a basic 'hidden' and fairly inexpensive tune with 600hp suits me, insurance and warranty intact

Hellcat also have 707 hp and one tune on it pushes it in high HP range as well and still get it insured.
Also insurance usually only has problems if you have a bad record otherwise they will insure anything. Keep in the in before 2007 -they insured MBS which never ever had failed in history.

Renntech would provide warranty on what they've installed and bro -this isn't just a tune- If read the/watch the video-it's other modifications as well.

Not sure what Country your in but here in Australia, you will never get a modified street registered vehicle like that insured, period regardless of driver record - that alone will turn many people away from doing it, regardless of warranty being provided by the tuner, BTW I have a perfect driving record 32 years worth and counting
Seriously if you want to stick to AWD (and I personally think that's a good idea) then as mentioned wait for the new E63, then go fourth with this Renntech tuning option if you can get away with both insurance and warranty in your part of the World then it's all good IMO

I know it's not just a tune but a comprehensive modification build, just keeping the post simple.

For example- we have cars here modified mustangs and so forth running around 700whp -in Toronto-but they are all insured. Only problem I see is that -if they haven't told the insurance company that -they put so and so much money in the car-if an accident happens they won't get reimbursed for anything. That's what I think -some might argue they will get it back but not sure.
And living in Canada - I'm fairly firm now that if I buy an all year around car it will not be RWD -needs to be AWD -we recently got all of our winter at once 52 cms almost 2 feet of snow in span of just 24-36 hours.
Raised my car up as much as I could but still got stuck right when I pulled out of my garage lol
