Wonderful car. Have a PPP + LSD remapped 'wagon' myself, though not as stealth like as yours I am afraid.
Just had to replace all discs and pads at the same time as a major service. Total cost £4k!
What other car can do so much?
Looks fantastic, Shame about the lower rent cycles Just had to replace all discs and pads at the same time as a major service. Total cost £4k!

There must be a slight typo with the "total cost 4k" ?

Yes it's thirsty, yes the tank is too small, yes the brakes on the PPP are expensive, but it sounds like it's trying to rip a hole in spacetime when you floor it through a tunnel (in a good way!).
Kids fit in the back, and when they aren't it just begs to be played with, like a friendly T Rex. So much character.
Some complain about lack of traction, but imo grip is the enemy of fun.
Can't imagine what I'd replace it with.

I really wanted one of these, but I just couldn't after sitting in one. I was surprised at the interior, I expected them to put some more effort in akin to an E-Class
Look how much hard plastic there is, my Z4 is more luxurious inside!
That's definitely a older one the facelifted version is a much nicer place e to beLook how much hard plastic there is, my Z4 is more luxurious inside!

Here's mine had it a couple of months after owning a couple of scoobys focus RSs and 3.0 BMWs I went to see what would have been my first 911 and there was a c63 in the showroom my mind was made up once I herd it start up and sat inside
I can honestly say that it's the best car and likely to be the best car I will ever own
there's something edgey about the car yout feel like you will never tame but you want to jump strait back in when you park it up to have another go. .not many cars feel like that

Having sat in a standard C class, I found the interior very disappointing. Also, how good or bad is the traction in damp conditions (ie almost all the time up in Scotland!)? Look how much hard plastic there is, my Z4 is more luxurious inside!
Am i allowed to post in here as mine has 19"s?
I got mine 3 months ago now and done around 1700 miles, averaging about 17mpg - 20/21 on a run, 13/14 when your having fun
I always start it with the door open, and love the pop from the exhaust when you change from 5th to 4th in manual mode.

That is certainly nothing like mine. I don't think that is even a c63 is it? It is like you've searched around for the worst basic c-class interior you can find on the internet and used it to make a non-point!!!Look how much hard plastic there is, my Z4 is more luxurious inside!

Thats a pre-facelift C63. Looks worse as the flip out sat nav screen is tucked away in that photo. But yes, the facelift interior is much nicer!
If true I retract then. That is truly awful and I agree with the poster that £50k+ for a car that looks like that inside is not even a consideration.

Very nice Captain,as said the interior is much better now.After the weekend my mpg has dropped to fifteen so i'm moving in the right direction.
I did the opposite. Mine has averaged 12.8 since I got it. I went away for the weekend with the wife (civilised driving) and averaged 24. I was really surprised.
