Thanks, I'm not even pushing it. This is just my cruise mode and I never cross the centerline..
I was playin with the video overlay to see the display and road at the same time.
I can never look at the screen when drivin, there's just too much wizzin by... I am so impressed with the wagon every time I get it in the twisties.
There is no other car I know of that can carry all my drone and camera gear and still haul tail in the canyons.
Zero regrets trading in my Turbo S for this beast..
Cool Do you have a mic outside? The engine sounds are coming through nicely, but what is the hissing noise as speed picks up? Not objectionable, just curious. Wind noise was always a concern when I was doing my on-bike videos on the road or track.

Yeah I've got a good recorder and mic for sound, the mic is mounted on the rear bumper and I have it mixed with some interior sound... Road noise and reality..
The hissing you hear is most likely coming from the Trunk Monkeys giving the raspberry
So I got rid of my GTS for a baby brother to my E63s wagon, no more worrying about expensive carbon fiber front splitters and worrying about dips and roadside dirt turnouts..
I'm gonna keep the stock ride height and just enjoy the peace of mind knowing I've got a do everything performance ride along with my cool canyon carver wagon..
I did notice a difference between the two, you can feel the nimbleness of the shorter wheelbase and the missing extra 300 lbs. of wagon in the canyons.
Congrats on the new whip! Less weight but higher center of gravity. How does it ride in the canyons compared to the E and GTS?
I really didn't get to flog it yet but it does have potential. It was still impressive and the ride comfort is great, much softer than the E63s wagon.
The GTS was great but the long hood made it a little tricky in the really tight canyons I like to drive, I'm not gonna miss it at all.
I added wheel spacers to widen the stance a bit today and researching wider wheels and tires and lift kit just incase my project pans out.
Please don't move this tread to the GLC section, I don't need any more trolls derailing things..
I gotta say the acceleration felt great with instant throttle response and absolutely no need for any extra warrantee voiding tunes..
The GLC 63s handles great and tucks in so well on the tight corners it was refreshing not to worry about the long nose of the GTS and just squirt around the hairpins..
The ride is actually smoother on rough pavement in sport+ mode than the wagon. I think the wagon may be a dust collector in the garage for a while now.
I took the GLC 63s up to the clouds today and it didn't disappoint . This crossover is as competent in the twisties as is the wagon. It reeled in 911s to the point of pulling over to let me pass on the way up.
All it needed was the pedal box to wake up the feel of the car, honestly it feels as if I installed an aftermarket tune it is that responsive and that's all you really feel in these tunes, a throttle response improvement.
I highly recommend it on in any stock AMG E63s or GLC 63s.. I set mine to the yellow [sport] +3 dot setting.
Ronin, I have a Cardinal Red MY19 E63s and everyone loves the color—I wasn’t sure when I ordered it but absolutely love it now. Seeing the pics of your GLC 63s makes me a bit jealous—beautiful car. I just purchased a My18 GLC 63 (non-S because I wanted the SUV body style). My GLC 63 is white with the full exterior carbon fiber (including full carbon fiber spoiler) and night package so it is a hot looking car but absolutely love the color on yours. Was looking for one in Cardinal Red but couldn’t find one that was fully optioned. My GLC was a Mercedes corporate car with 4,000 miles, fully loaded and in perfect condition. So far I love it with one very very minor exception that many on the GLC 63 board and the press reviewing the car have mentioned—if leaving from a stop light under light throttle the transmission occasionally does this early clunky upshift- it is not a smooth transition into the next gear and the car feels like it is bucking—It never does it under mid to full throttle and does not do it all the time. It happens less after the car is warmed up and you start to learn how to finesse the throttle a bit to avoid it. Many have claimed it is due to the throttle mapping that Mercedes uses in their AMG GLCs. GLC 43 owners have the same issue. Three questions—1. did your car ever exhibit this behavior and if so did the pedal box take care of the problem, 2. do you know it they make a pedal box for the non-S GLC63, and 3. while I have never experienced any such issue with my E63s, have you installed one on your wagon?
Thanks
