About To Pick Up My First C63

[fraggie]

Hi All,

So in about 1.5 hours I will be picking up my first C63

I've wanted one of these since they were released mainly in part due to the engine (I love big V8's). I've just got rid of my 996 911 due to it not being big enough for 2 children (and of course the biggest child in the drivers seat) and thought it was about time to indulge.

It's a black 2012 Coupe with privacy glass (great for the kids, sold it to the better half), reversing camera and not a lot else, but I'm happy as it gives me room to do LSD, eurocharge etc.

One issue... its raining

Wish me luck!

Pictures to follow.

Congrats!

I've just managed to get home, after a bit of a play

Kept it in comfort the entire way home so it wasn't very loud, but just getting used to the car without being silly to start with.

Absolutely love it

Big grin on mine and the kids faces

And the old cars up to this point...
996 911

986 Boxster S

Calibra DTM Replica (Built From Standard)

And so on and so on

I never noticed that before! You appear to be correct though

Normally in the rugby season I'm unavailable on Saturdays I will only know the week before if I have a week off but it's unlikely.

Fingers crossed he was consistent

 

[fraggie]

Very nice.

Are they stock rims?

I believe so, the dealer didn't mention different and the spec lists shows 5 spoke 18"s

 

[RJ C63]

They're stock 18s for facelift cars.

 

[Cabb]

Welcome very nice enjoy get it in Sport +

 

[tonyg1987]

guiseppe gives you a few extra ponies! enjoy

Well I've now had time to get used to the car and just completed a 400 mile round trip around deepest darkest Lincolnshire... and I love it!

The power on tap makes overtaking slow lorries / cars on A roads easy and safe, the noise just keeps making me smile and this car turns as many heads as my old Calibra did.

I've not given it enough beans around corners yet to trouble the traction control, but what are the difference between the regular and sport modes?
