Discovered a kind of cool feature on my C63s
While reading the Mercedes AMG supplement manual I discovered a fun feature included on the C63 and C63s. It is called the "Function of Emotion Start". When staring your car, pull up on either one of the gearshift paddles while pushing the Start button. This function increases the idle speed briefly along with opening the exhaust flaps. By doing this, the start-up sound is louder and aggressive. It is definitly a fun performance feature.

Yes, this has been discussed before and most newer V8 AMGs have it. It's sort of a token due to the cars getting quieter overall. I pretty much always start it this way and then immediately open the exhaust and turn off ECO start/stop. It's become my routine, like preparing a plane for take off. You can also select the drive mode before starting the engine. Turn on the ignition and then select the drive mode and then start the engine. This way you can start it in S+ or Race.

Where did you get that and for how much?? Is it a pre-FL, or FL version?
I'm still waiting to get my C63s coupe next month and trying to figure out a few possible options. Does your tune make the Performance exhaust button obsolete? Can you close the valves with that button??

My hottest 93 octane tune has more pops and burbles than normal but valves work just like stock.
My other 2 tunes allow normal/stock exhaust sound /function incase I don't want to sound too rowdy.

What drive options are you talking about? Press ignition, then use the DYNAMIC SELECT toggle in the center console to change the drive mode to your desired mode and then start the engine. Are you saying that doesn't work in your car?

this works, but the faster way is to set individual to all race mode options (I do all except manual shift and stiff suspension), and right after you hit start, flip the switch up once while it’s does it’s quick crank. The valves react quick enough to open by the starting rev.
