1LE vs C63 AMG 507 edition
So a couple months back i made a thread about how i pulled up next to a S550 badged "AMG" and how i wouldn't be afraid to try a run with an AMG if i ever ran into one on the road....well ironically enough my Mom recently got a 2015 C63 AMG coupe 507 edition....now im well aware that my car can not hang with one of these but what mods would i need in order to? at the moment all i have working for me is a rotofab CAI...
also, how would her car hang with a manual tranny C7 if the driver was pretty decent in the vette?? Thanks in advance! |

a intake is not going to do much.

Thats pretty much a 12.0 sec car you'll need bolt ons and a cam. vs a C7 its a drivers race.

Yeah, its not a true -63 AMG (it has the 6.2L AMG instead if the 5.5L twin turbo AMG which is every other -63) but it still has you by a bit. You might get away with just bolt ons. Intake, headers, throttle body and manifold and tune and you'd probably be fine.

Haha yea...its funny cuz she was never into fast cars till i got the camaro last october...then she goes from a lincoln mks to a C63...basically doubled her HP LOL.. Quote:
And thanks as well DSX_camaro...appreciate the help brother! I was not aware that her AMG was different than the other AMG's....so does that mean the c63 is like the weakest AMG they offer? even tho its the 507 edition?! |

Wait, you're right. I keep forgetting it's the coupe. They're rated at 3.6 seconds 0-60 and 11.8 seconds 1/4. You need a cam or gears or boost to win.

Wow i cant believe that....i suddenly feel like she got the short end of the stick on her engine now compared to the other AMG's haha...like most times claimed by companies, im assuming that "11.8" means if every condition was perfect so i would probably just needs mods that would consistently make me run around a 12 flat and I should be good....cam, headers, tune and supporting mods and I think I would be in pretty decent shape then? correct me if im wrong |
