C63S for tracking use.
Hello Everyone,
I would appreciate some advice from those who track thier C63s and other cars.
I am thinking of buying a C63S cabriolet as its RWD and wish to experience a good RWD and if possible, also an open top cabriolet car.
What are your opinions on tracking a C63s coupe or cabriolet?
If they are good for tracking (reliable and don't overheat to quickly etc) then which year model is best for it? Are the new 2019 the best ones or is thier a previous year model that would be best?
I tracked maybe 6 to 8 times a year when I had my Nissan GTR and would like to track once a month maybe in a couple of years from now depending on budget. What does it cost to track a C63s?
Does the C63s have fully adjustable wheel alignment with toe, camber and caster being adjustable ? I only ask as my A7 doesn't.
I read that Mercedes have made the chassis of the cabriolet stiffer. Is it close to the chassis of the coupe?
Answers to any of the above would be appreciated.

It's a poor choice. Roll safety questionable; heavy weight; high consumables cost (brakes, tires, fluids); limited changes to OEM geometry without aftermarket support; poor dynamics. Did I mention weight?
If you want to get into tracking, find a used late model (09+) Cayman or 911 as a good starting point.
