Default CL63S AMG. What on earth is this thing?

I was rolling down a private road in Mexico this morning a little late and out of no place a Black CL63 S with gold trim blows up on me. This guy is ear to ear teeth and keeps pestering me, the whole time I am thinking " seriously don't you see my car ". Anyway I decide to prove my point by just rolling into a little bit and the next thing I know this car is pulling on me like I am in a truck. Oh no I could have none of that so I took her leash off and I have to admit that is one fast Benz. I don't know what he did to that car but I know what is done to mine and I could or believe what I saw. No he did not whoop a Corvette this morning but be warned if you see this car do not let him goat you into anything while on a private road in Mexico.

You can send those things to performance groups like Kleeman and other MB tuners and they are hard to touch in that level of trim

Yeah, good advice. I think I will stay off private roads in Mexico. Got it!

My car is more of an 1/8 mile set up, I did not build it for top speed. This car pulled harder than a ZR1.

AMGs are seriously quick and they have a nice engine sound too unlike other import manufacturers.

The S63 is quick...well kinda.

The S65 AMG is much quicker considering it's a tt V12 with 621hp 715ft lbs tq.
I did a couple 50-100mph pulls on the highway in the tt C6 against a S65 (in Mexico of course) was only able to pull a car or car and a half on him (although I had a passenger). They are torque monsters but fairly heavy cars.

I purchased and mounted the "Biturbo" part of the badges off the S65 AMG on the front fenders of my C6.

The CLK's can easily pump out 600HP with upgrades.

Some of the Kleeman and Renntech are crazy for those cars. The CL65 AMG's are the ones you really need to watch out for- they can push 1000hp with the engine packages, insane!

Until last summer I had a C63 AMG as my DD. 6.3 N/A engine rated at 451hp. Had it tuned to 500hp. Fabulous engine. Tons of torque and very responsive. It was hard to keep your foot out of it. Lots of fun and very well made. Got lousy gas mileage, around 14 overall, but I knew that when I bought it. Didn"t want to own it out of warranty so sold it last August and got the GS. GS is nice, but I do miss the cold start roar of the C63.

beat my friend's E63 several times from a dig but it wasn't by much lol.. had him a solid car length back and slight pull up to 120.. I had a passenger he was by himself. but my car had ZERO mods.. now i think i could beat him by a few cars..

Nonetheless awfully quick.

Try driving the autobahn on a normal day and you'll see old ladies in big Mercedes crushing you to pieces on the way to work.

I got a 2010 new exactly like yours for my wife, Obsidian Black with the 7 spoke AMG wheels. Traded it on another one, this one is a 2012 in Palladium Silver, same wheels. Makes her the fastest girl in the 'hood, and the exhaust note is to die for. Currently waiting for info on ordering a 2015. Great car, wolf in sheep's clothing.
