jkob5 , Thanks for the reply. Reason for the Question ... I was on the fence with the S model. I really don't need the extra HP living in so cal.

One more for you, both have the same body style correct, Dimensions , Etc
Fender Length

Same exhaust note , Same Body style = I would be happy with the non S model.

Yeah the differences are about 50hp, larger brakes, rear differential is electronic instead of mechanical. Some options are automatically added in the S version I believe, so when I compared my full builds the S version was a couple grand more only, so it was a no brainer. I'd recommend the S version, 50 hp is significant. If you plan on tuning the car later that difference is negligible.

ugh! ...lol , right back at the S ...lol
Gee thanks jkob5

Funny a year ago , I was in the threads and saying "why do these folks have so many questions"

now here I am today ..go figure!

Anyhow, guess once the numbers are ran I can see what is a better purchase.
Larger brakes, rear differential is electronic and 50hp < those are huge

,
In addition to the performance options, some features that are optional on the C63 but standard on the C63S are the following:

Full Genuine Leather Interior (the Non-S actually comes standard with artificial leather)
Red brake calipers
19' wheels

Get the "s". You'll be regretting it later. I have never seen a non-S C63 w205 on the streets personally.

Your a better man than me , I have yet to see C63 or C63s and I travel the 210 and 101 everyday for work.
Guess I'm on the wrong freeway or wrong time.
