"just don't bounce it off the rev limiter every day and you will be just fine. it has a warranty for a reason."

AMG GLC 63s Coupe
I probably hit launch control a few times at 100 miles...lol...

I figured this would be like any other car I have bought and I would dump it in a year or so. I have no plans of this car leaving at this point. With a Stage 2 tune, it is one of the most fun cars I have ever had.

Now if I could just stop getting sidewall hernias. I have had 2 in one month.....

So many people talk smack about this being a "soccer dad" car..... they haven't driven one, clearly. Also, tell me more about your 1/2 stage tune please.

I went with a Stage 2 Eurocharged tune and a Zac Intake.

The car is a beast now.

I have a 63s Coupe but once you tune a SUV 63, it has the same power as a 63s so you really just lose Race Mode and the solid motor mounts.

Oh...and the warranty.......

Wait, you DO get launch control with the 63suv. Or did I misunderstand your comment?

Yes, you get Race Launch with the SUV just not a selectable race mode. Sport+, Traction Control Off, Left Foot on the Brake, Right Foot on the Gas hard. Dash should confirm Race Start enabled and then let off the left foot. takes some practice but 60% of the time it works every time.

paradigmdawg, can you post a pic or 2 of your 63 s showing the solid motor mounts?

Are they the slats that goes diagonally behind the panamericana grille?

No man, those are just braces. You have to pull the bottom dang near off and crawl up in there to see motor mounts.

Most motor mounts have a urethan block in the middle of them to isolate the vibrations and allow a little movement when the engine revs. Race cars and apparently the 63s don't care about the isolation, they just want all power to hit at once without the motor pivoting side to side.
