C63 experience

Had a funny experience the other day, I was loaned a C63 for an afternoon from a friend.  What a riot!  In silver/black it's just so inconspicuous, until you put your foot down...OMG!  And the sound is incredible.  A very rorty sounding V8 burble.  It's not as tactile as I'd like, the steering is a tad woolly and the fly by wire throttle has no feel but the power and torque is just amazing in a street car.  From a standing start the traction control light stays on until about 60 km/h!  Makes you wonder what a CLK63 Black Series must be like...

Regards,

Carl.

That sounds very impressive. I've heard them roaring around Perth and simply can't get over the sound and the appearance.
