My car was finally delivered (bought it from a dealer in Missouri) on Friday - drove directly to the tint/PPF shop - brought it home yesterday.

Nice man! Can you share your spec sheet or window sticker? Curious as to the options on this.

I want a similar spec minus the red guts and black wheels. Might hold out until the 63 though, but really it’s a cost thing for me. I am fully optioning out whatever I buy so a spec with all the options could price me out of a 63. Also I don’t mind a V6, considering I’ve owned two C43s, but I’m not spending $110k+ (before TTL and packages) on a V6 if the CLE63 ends up not being a V8.

it would be a straight 6, not a V6 if that matters to you.

Naa it doesn’t matter to me. Just a bad habit of always saying V.
