Peak HP on Dynamic Select Screen
I am wondering what is the number you guys see as the maximum hp on the dynamic select menu or on dashboard for facelift cars. My understanding was the C63s makes around 510hp, but the highest number I ever saw for my car is 501 and no matter which gear I am in, it never goes above it.
I know these figures do not really mean much, but for my previous C43, I managed to diagnose an safety limp mode using this meter. When I was in limp mode, the car would not go above a certain number. When everything is working normally, I would get the full advertised HP number.
Can someone confirm they are seeing the full 510 in their meter?

As said above, it has 510 metric horsepower, which converts to 503 mechanical horsepower. The USA uses the latter. I'm assuming for the US spec cars that screen shows mechanical horsepower. I've never paid attention to the actual number, but I'd say if you are close to 503 than all is good. I heard of limp mode cases with the C63 and then that screen only shows a 200 hp scale or something like that.

So I swear mine used to say 500hp+ till end of last yr or so. I did a recall update on my car about 1.5months ago and now if I floor it goes to 503hp and 516lb/ft for a split second. Most of the the time its in the 400s when Im flooring it. I guess Im a little surprised because these cars have a fairly flat torque curve and I thought it used to be 500+ for hp and torque before the recall for a lot longer if i floored. I dunno, maybe im going crazy...
