Everyone drove off into the sunset?
I don’t know about you guys but I still take pics of my car daily, maybe we should start a sticky pic thread like the coupe sub?
miss hearing from all the guys. Seems like once we got our cars we all forgot about the forum!!
any of you guys in Minneapolis or have heard of cars and coffee in Minneapolis?
so far:
I’ve gotten the HHT from Rennetech and added the auto start stop feature delete,
and have a full exhaust on order from Renntech ( catted dps, exhaust, and exhaust valve module) all will be installed by my dealer keeping me very safe & in warranty (:

Unfortunately this forum is not very active than some others…. What do you think of the HHT? Nice it’s already available for our cars. What exhaust did you order? I’m assuming it eliminates the Gas particulate filters?

The HHT has helped me gain about 1-2 MPG on Avg. I usually drive on Sport + rarely on Race Mode. Also I ordered the Renntech Exhaust, since the dealership I purchased from is a Rennetech AD, I can modify my car with them through Renn parts and not void my warranty, which makes it pretty nice. As far as the gas particulate filters, im unsure, is that the flap that opens when you hit the Exhaust open button on the center counsel? if so, no it doesn't eliminate that, theres another part that they have to maintain your flaps open all the time, heres the link.

No the GPF or OPFs are in the exhaust like an additional CAT. I’m pretty sure they are in the exhausts of our cars, and they tame the exhaust note down and obviously another restriction in the exhaust system.

have you found it works well?
also I don’t know if anyone else has noticed- but I remember seeing a post either here or fb about it.
when I connect my phone for apple car play the map and platform only shows on the left 3/4 of my screen and the passenger side 1/4 of the screen is blank/ black.
so two things:
does anyone else have that same issue when plugging their iPhone in? ( I usually use the port in the center counsel with the double folding doors)
second: does that car link work well? And does the screen show on the complete dash screen? TYIA

New to me GT63S W/ Brabus 700 Package
New to me as of today 2021 AMG GT63S with Brabus 700 package. Started off the year whining about having brain cancer but reality is it was caught very early whole being checked out for traumatic brain injury and end it with this stunning car! Not bad.
I also have an AMG GTR with Renntech performance upgrades and a G wagon 4 Squared but this car blows me away. It is just a beast. The GTR is a bit more rigid and I love the driving position of the GTR. Obviously, the weight makes this gal a bit less nimble than the GTR but I think I am liking this better. Especially for long grand touring type work. Which I plan on doing plenty of that with this.
It is a really quick car and just feels good. It was kind of spur of the moment I saw it went and checked it out, wired the total and took possession. 5 K miles had A service done before I got it. They kind of chuckled when I wanted copies of the service file. It is a good habit I picked up living in London part of the year. It is my first used AMG slash Brabus but it is immaculate.
I am not even sure how to refer to it with all the Brabus badging.
I obviously want all the info I can get on it. Unfortunately, not a lot of specific info for this version of the car. If a kind soul has any websites or other source let me know but I have run multiple search terms and just see some marketing videos.
Anyhow, so far this is my favorite car that I have owned it nicely fills a spot in my lil collection. Focusing on AMG 8 cylinder motors as they seem to be on endangered species list.
