As I recall we had the same TPW on 10/27/14. Because of the severe winter here in the Northeast I did not even start mine after putting it up on my lift in mid-November. I hope you at least got to drive yours before trading it in. Good luck with your new ride.

Benz with approximately the same HP (although it is turbo). And basically the same price point...

I don't get it.... But to each their own.... It would be a boring world if we all liked the same things.

Best of luck with the C63.....

Depends on the year. I cross shopped the last generation of the naturally aspirated C63s when I was looking to buy something else. I personally wouldn't go for the Turbo because the NA is a masterpiece, but that's not to say that the new one's aren't sweet too.

Oh, and

Just the fact that he knew a C63 existed means he was not a dedicated Corvette owner...

The only thing you gained in a back seat, you lost much more then a gain.

I have a feeling his situation changed and he needs a back seat. The C63 AMG is a nice piece however.

those new C63 look very underwhelming. I thought the old C63 with the 6.3L was a cool car though.

overall I dont need backseats so i would never get a 4 door car.

good luck OP

What about a 2 door car with 4 seats? Like, oh, I dunno, a C63?

If you can afford the maintenance once the warranty is gone, why not? Looks like a nice car to me.

IF you can afford one, you won't keep either a Beemer OR Benz until the warranty expires. I just thought I could afford the new 7.

The Germans have NOTHING on Americans in automobile reliability. I will never buy another.
