My CSL replacement

amar7274 · 15-03-2010, 07:41 PM

I know that this is a CSL forum and that I sold mine a couple of week back.
Well this is what I bought a Mercedes C63 AMG

This particular example has all the optional extras fitted, the most important ones are the Performance Pack and the LSD.
I was undecided with what to to replace the CSL with. It was either the new M3 saloon or the C63 AMG. The drive home definately confirmed that I made the right choice. This car is head and shoulders better than the M3. It's much prettier both exteranally and internally.
It's an absolute animal on the motorway soo much power and more importantly loads of torque.

good looking car!

glad you got that LSD as well as the rear tyres may last the full 6000 miles now

Awesome car, totally different to the M.

We are a merc specialist as you know Shim, and the new breed of AMG are leagues ahead of the older stuff.

If driven hard, ill give the rears 3k

Well done on a great choice, fantastic looking car, fantastic noise! Just wish AMG did a de-chrome option like Audi etc.

Awesome

Congrats on a great car!!

Have to admit that these are way more popular here in NZ than the E9X M3s and they hold their values a lot better too

Sound amazing aswell.

I would imagine they are a great cruising car.

How does it compare to CSL on track? Slower right?

lovely car. my mate (who has a white one tells me he) has been through 3 sets of rears contis in 10k

They are awesome, nice choice. Also a lot rarer than the M3 which is a bonus.
