Question On Optioning C63 AMG...

hl0m4n · 10-21-2009, 12:29 PM

the option specs of the c63 amg are easy premium package 1 & 2, multimedia (naigation, etc) but the one that confuses me is the AMG performance package which includes:

AMG limited slip diff
AMG Compound breaking system
AMG Track calibrated suspension system
AMG leather/alcantara steering wheel
Top speed raised 174mph.

does the c63 not have a diff standard? and the compound breaking system is carbon ceramic 6 piston front and 4 piston rear? the track calibrated suspsension is just suspension or do i get buttons like the m3 does to change ride settings?

Correct. Limited slip diff is not standard on a C63.

ouch that blows the package is $4k (3,995 exact). it is like what $1,500 on for us to install lsd on our cars? so that leaves about $2,500 for the other stuff... worth it?

is the brakes carbon ceramic like porsche and the zr1 use?

I will never understand why benz didn't put an LSD standard in a car pushing over 450hp.

On top of that, it should be a stand alone option so you don't have to buy all the junk in that package. Do you really need carbon ceramic brakes on a daily driver?

Do you really need a 6.2l V8 in a DD?

But yeah, should have an LSD standard, though I've heard the electronic version on the base model is more then adequate for street driving.

I don't think that's a fair thing to ask, especially on a car forum for guys who love their cars.

lol, same thing goes for all of us with the n54... Did we really need the extra 100 or so hp? Or the two turbos? Yes.. Yes we did.

1. No diff standard on regular AMG cars
2. the compound system is not carbon ceramic, it's just multi-piece rotor up front. I believe for the C63, it's 8-pot and 4-pot front to back (those are heavy though because they are cast steel)
3. Yes, there's a sport suspension button that you can use to adjust the dampers on the new C-class

Don't forget to get Keyless Go in the new '10 models. '09 or before don't have Keyless Go (Comfort Access for BMW). Also, the C-class doesn't come with power folding mirrors. They need to be retrofitted. C63 does not have the option of having a panorama sunroof as well.

You can get a limited slip diff as a stand alone option, at least you could for the 09s. I found one optioned that way and was ready to buy and someone beat me to it.

Just buy the LSD alone. AMG P30 package seems like a good deal though. Better brakes, suspension(it rides a bit hard but I heard it's great on the track) and a cooler looking alcantara gripped steering wheel. I dunno, I say LSD and keep the price low.

Is this new for 2010? My 2009 doesn't have this option.

I know the AMG sport pack is already available. It would be awesome if they also make the "Performance Package Plus" available, although I guess most people would not opt for that and instead get a ECU flash done for cheaper and get even more power!!

Nothing, evosport ecu flash can't fix
headers would make the package complete
