Winter Shoes on

[MCSL]

Nice. Miss my C63 - street legal Hot-Rod that could pull away from my mates 7.1 GT3 RS from 100+. Also upgraded to 265's on the rear..

Looks nice Daz. Out of interest have you ever owned a V8 M3 with the DCT gearbox? I quite fancy getting into a C63 but I hear stories that the gearbox isn't up to the DCT and I have to say that the M3 is the best all rounder I've ever owned. If my local merc dealer wasn't full of pricks! I'd blag a good test drive to see what all the fuss is about

Night and day .. Not even really v cold but I've actually got traction back again .. Will pull again without the tail wiggling and feels planted.

And as a bonus I guess I may be able to function should the white stuff arrives.

Been more noticeable on this car than the CSL .. GT3 etc and all been dailys and all weather .. Lost traction on the summers as soon as weather dipped.

The facelift one runs a different box terry. 2011 onwards. Much quicker change as they have ditched the torque converter.

It's still no dct box, but it's very very good.

Not owned but when the CSL was in for repair years ago when the V8 was new I had a loaner for 6 months so a virtual ownership lol

Box is not a slick and as a track weapon if your timing it the m3 is better.. But and its a big but .. The C63 makes you giggle more every day is a more accomplished cruiser and is just old skool mans mans car if you know what I mean.

More smiles per miles, shouldn't make sense but just does !

Daz, just be aware that if temps rise a bit the AMG will rip those winter tyre to shreads very quickly.

Gently gently with the right foot!
