This thread will serve as a documentation of the process and journey of turning my C63S into a monster 1/2 mile show and go car. IF you have any questions or are interested in purchasing any of the products you see being developed on this thread please DM me!
When I first picked up the car in October of 2015 I never thought I would do anything to it... as far as I was concerned it was perfect... here are a couple pictures I took from when I first got the car
When the car turned a year old it was time to start modifications. I threw a tune on the car from Eurodynamic and some downpipes from Eurocharged, added some exterior carbon pieces from Mode Carbon and had the stock wheels powder coated in mirror black. European spec carbon front diffuser, European spec carbon rear diffuser, carbon mirrors and a carbon fiber trunk spoiler. The car made and still makes to this day testing on multiple dynos, 530whp and 604wtq.
After a LOT of frustration with the car breaking down at a track last November(and then being repaired by Mercedes for 3 MONTHS!) I decided it was time to take the car to the next level. Sponsorships have come through from Kooks Exotics(Kooks Header and Exhaust), Forgeline wheels, Jet-Hot ceramic exhaust coatings, Pure Turbos, and GlasWerksDMV. The idea is to turn this into a show car that can back up its looks on the track. Here are some pictures of the new downpipes that were just developed using my car by Kooks Exotics. If you have any interest in purchasing a set please let me know. They sound INCREDIBLE. I never thought a downpipe could sound so much different from another downpipe... these have the deepest growl of any exhaust out there for this car. I will hopefully post a sound clip soon.
The weld on the left pipe is only on the test set(my car) and is not on the production pipes that go out to customers. ALL MANDREL BENT!!!
KW HAS Suspension
How the car currently sits with the new KW HAS suspension. Too low in the back? What do you think?
I think the front is just right
Look at that weld!
tiny snails! soon to be bigger!!
These were my downpipes from Eurocharged. I'm not saying that they weren't great quality but when you compare them to the new ones from Kooks... LOL it is clear a ton of development went into designing them
They are for sale BTW
Green cats for the C63/C63S if you want to be wimpy
These with be the new wheels from Forgeline. Combine these in copper color along with the carbon barrels show below..... ridiculous... this carbon wheel barrel from forgeline only weighs 4LBS! can't wait to have these on my car
LOL. $215K AMG GTR at Loudoun County Exotics
Dropped the car off today at Loudoun County Exotics in Virginia. They will remove the turbos and send them off to Pure for a stage 2 build. The hot side of the turbos and the downpipes will be sent to Jet-Hot coatings to get a 2500F coating to hopefully take care of a lot of the heat soak issues this car has, and since the downpipes run along the transmission i'm hoping this will decrease trans temps as well. Still waiting on a timeframe for the wheels from Forgeline but it will be most likely several weeks before I get ahold of those. I will be getting a custom 18" rear drag set and then a show set of 20" wheels for the street. Once the new turbos are in and spark plugs changed I will be getting a new tune from Eurodynamic! Hoping to ballpark it in the 750whp range but who knows, i'm more concerned about how it performs. Not sure on TQ yet as I don't want to blow things up, but ill keep you all updated as this all unfolds in the next couple weeks!
Lots more to come, very excited about this build and there will be a lot of firsts for this car. I will update this thread whenever I get more pictures/videos and info
should be fine for handling the power. Testing has been done already and no problems yet from anyone. Tranny should be good for around 800whp. No one has put more in it yet that I know of.
