Hi everyone, I just picked up a 12 CLS63 with Performance Package last week and have some big plans for it. Shooting to eventually build it into a 1k whp somewhat daily driven street car to enjoy 1/4, 1/2 and 1 mile events along with plenty of trips to "Mexico".

I'm no stranger to power, I've had a few higher HP cars, a couple TT lambos, TT CTS-V, N20 V and a couple boosted Vettes.

Anyways, I figured I would keep it all in one thread for people to follow if they'd like. Hope you enjoy!

Here she is just before getting it re tinted, the stuff that was on it was too light and I wanted to get the windshield done too.



Just after the tint job.



Washed up later that night.







Went to a local car meet Friday night and met up with a Hellcat owner a supercharged Super B and a new 5.0 Mustang, we had a few runs amongst each other and the CLS PP came out on top! I was very impressed for a 100% stock car how well it did.

 

Here's the vid of the run against the Hellcat.


After the roll racing I realized I would be needing more traction for the low rolls so I picked up some 18" HRE C93's with Titanium hardware. Did R888's out front and temporarily running Hoosier DR's until my R888 rears come in this week.





I know this isn't to everyones liking but I prefer the lighter wheels and bigger tire look, plus the added traction is always good. It will look much better when I get the coilovers in and on it.

Last but not least I met up with a buddy Sat night and ran against his 2008 C63 that's supercharged by Weistec making around 550whp.

 

Here's a booty pic with the super sticky 315 Hoosiers:



Today I managed to do an oil change, very cool factoid, the oil filter for Mercedes actually has an AMG stamp. Thought that was neat. I also managed to get the pesky resonator cut out and I also threw in some K&N air filters for good measure. Thanks to the straight pipe instead of the resonator the car sounds so much better! I can hear the turbos whistling distinctly.

Oh and those who are keen observers may notice I swapped over to some 305 Mickey Thompson Drag radials instead. I didn't like how the Hoosiers had super squishy sidewalls so the car would kind of wallow and if it rained I wouldn't be able to drive it.The Mickeys on the other hand are FAR better. Love them for daily use.











And here she is in my shop along with another cool AMG that stopped in for some work. The V12 is a beast but I prefer the V8TT without a doubt!
