NA all the way! Large displacement V8s are a dying breed.

 

W204 or W205??? That is the question...

Hi,

I just picked up my 2013 C63 AMG sedan two days ago with only 3500 miles and it is immaculate. However as I wander through the various MB forums, I see references to W204 and W205 versions of the C63, however I don't know which is my car, It was built in 3/2013 so does that help with knowing which model it is? Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated. Also, I am looking for tunes, wheels, and just basic accessories like seat covers and floor matts to protect a pristine car from going all wrong too quickly. If anyone can point me to the proper channels that would be sweet. My e-mail is 'howster01@yahoo.com'.

Thanks for your assistance

Cheers,

Howie

 

Hey guys
New C63 amg vs C63 507 edition
Which would u buy?

 

The thing with turbos is that they're very tuner-friendly. Just wait, and you'll see all the tuners easily cracking 600+HP on tune-only. But, the M156, IMO, is the best AMG V8 ever made, which is why I will buy a C63 coupe in the future.

 

I'm biased in favor of NA. I can't get over it!

 

it depends on what kind of driving you will be doing and how long you will keep the car. Twin turbos add a lot of parts to the engine bay. Many more chances that some hose, tube, turbo, regulator, cooler, and so on and on will go bad down the road. The N/a motor is way less complicated but a little more limited to performance upgrades with spending big $. Thw turbo is just a ECU flash away from more power and will make torque on demand with less reving the motor. I like both but lean towards turbos for the fun factor but I am in the market for a 204 c63 myself as the reasons stated above as I will keep it a few years and will perform well for what I will use the car for daily driving .

 

I could have waited for the 205 but once the 507 edition came out I pulled the trigger knowing the next iteration would use turbos. For the same reasons as mentioned above, I will probably keep mine for a long time and the sound is just music to me at startup and the drive. Not a big fan of the turbo whine or the tricked out exhaust on the 205 just to make it sound better.

 

I guess it all depends on what you are looking to get out of it. I have the M156 NA with a Kleeman tune that puts it at around 507HP and quite honestly I am not impressed. I am a giant binge buyer and bought my C63 on a whim and now I can't wait to move it out for something with more ponies for the buck. Just my opinion. I love driving my C300 though.
