It's dependent on your driving skills. It can be as much as well your life.

Do we actually have to pay for the drivers package to lift the speed limiter ? Or can a tune do it and at the same time increase power of your car ?

A tune can raise the power and speed limit of your car (but will void the factory engine warranty). The drivers package is warranty proof and also let's you participate at an AMG driving event.

The drivers package however won't add extra horsepower to your car like a ECU tune will.

The "driver's package" for the C63 is the S-model.

The C63 (non-S) has a governed 155 mph top speed.

The C63S has a governed 180 mph top speed.

And any of the C63 AMG models gets you the free Basic course at the AMG Driving Academy.

Here in Belgium (EU) the drivers package is an option on both the S and non S version. I know because I have an S and I took the Drivers Package option in order to have the speed limit raised.

It seems you guys have more standard features on the car where else we need to buy some of those things as an extra option.

In Germany, the Driver Package is 800 € for the C 63 S and 3,000 € for the C 63. Topspeed is 280km/h for the convertible /estate or 290 km/hfor sedan and coupe.
