Hi all
I owned a brilliant blue w205 C63 saloon for 2 years before reading in for a 2017 RS5 earlier this year.
The RS5 is so capable, loads of power from a stand still and traction is just ridiculous given the power it puts down. The noise was so underwhelming, and although things were much improved after a resonator delete and valves always open mod, it’s not quite an AMG.
To cut a long short, I’ve crumbled - the rs5 lasted 6 months and I’ve put down a deposit on a 66 plate c63 coupe premium. it has the performance exhaust, pan roof and a few other bits and bobs. Downside is it’s from a non Merc delaship so no Merc warranty, the upside of this is no warranty to screw up!
So I’m looking at getting the car remapped. Pretty unnecessary for road use but let’s be honest it’s hard not to want 580 bhp!
I just wondered how others have got on with their remaps? I’ve heard the engine and gearbox should cope fine, any other things or issues to look out for? Car will be running approx 580bhp and 660lb ft of torque
I’m planning on getting some Michelin ps4 or super sport tyres all round to help put the power down
Thanks in advance
