Ooh that's fast. 
And the potential to make 525bhp too.
I watched a C63 being pasted by some old fifties car (street legal) at York. Think the Merc pulled a 12 or 13 on the quarter. About as quick as ringram's £6k Camaro.
Mind you, they're only £600 a month to contract hire...
Was this on the power tour weekend? If so, yep, that's best is about a 12.9, generally doing about 115mph. Was in fact a brabus 'b63' although the brabus tune didn't increase peak power, so it had been remapped and had headers fitted by then, comfortably over 500bhp. Guy can't launch for toffee though, so not necessarily a fair comparison And the potential to make 525bhp too.

You know standard C63s regularly clock 0-60 in 4.2/3 secs? How much d'you think you'd have to spend to get down from 11 seconds to under 9 for the 0-100?

Look up the word 'potential'. I said a simple remap will give a C63 525. Slap a charger and we're nearing some kind of potential at up to 630. 'Course then things get serious... .

The C6 is the one to go for. A very reliable and strong car, but the prices are holding pretty firm. 700+ BHP can be achieved without breaking a sweat and there are some that are modified more heavily, to around 1000 BHP.
I agree as they do seem to have a good name however..... If something does go wrong I would hazard a guess its going to be serious money to fix.... Eg the gearbox or diffs. They do tend to blend in against another A6 tdi with wheels though which is an issue for me.

For someone who comments on literacy, you've failed to check and find the missing word in the second sentence of your post. The irony is strong with this one Look up the word 'potential'.

Don't read any of Goldy or Stick's posts. You'll probably have a heart attack. Look up the word 'potential'. I said a simple remap will give a C63 525. Slap a charger and we're nearing some kind of potential at up to 630. 'Course then things get serious... .

As for 630bhp, that's about half of what my Monaro made after slapping a couple of turbos on
And about a third of what my Monaro engine is pushing out these days (albeit in an Audi)
As for 0-100 in 9, my Monaro was happily running 0-141 in just over 10 on moderate boost. Which is the same as a Veyron. And not the same as a C63.

No one in their right mind would drive a Monaro anywhere if it was that or a C63, let's be honest. 
It may have 1800bhp, but it's still a bag of ****.
Is that not a bit harsh? It may have 1800bhp, but it's still a bag of ****.Don't know who invited you to this thread but you are really not welcome here, in fact with a comment like that I'd say your not welcome on pistonheads either.

Also buying a C63 is like buying a Boxster, it's because you can't afford an E63 with even more power..... Although not as much as a FI VXR8.

would you drive it to the South of France though?!
I used to drive the Monaro all over the place. Long trips weren't an issue. I think all the other owners of high powered Monaros and VXR8s would agree. The Audi would be a laugh, but 1mpg (foot down) is a bit limiting.Don't get me wrong, I've owned many cars and would love to add a C63 (2-door) to the list. I don't agree with the idea that they are superior cause it's they're a Merc. MB has had a shyte reputation since the early 90s. My S600 did nothing but break down and cost money. Most Mercs from the early noughties are rotting quicker than a seventies Lancia.

Top trolling! Can you do us a favour though? At the next meeting where people decide where to go to wind people up for a laugh, can you not tell them about this forum? It may have 1800bhp, but it's still a bag of ****.It's nice enough as it is, and you can have far more fun winding up Boxster, BMW and Ferrari finances about their cars! You have the benefit of a far bigger audience that way, here you'll only be annoying maybe 10 people at most, seems a waste of your valuable time?
