C63 is a great car - just lacking in fun factor from the 997.2 GT3.

More practical and great value.

I find that as the rear tyres start to wear on the C63 the grin starts to get bigger!

yes the C63 is very easy to slide around, lots of low end torque and skinny rears. I also got the P31 package which includes some of the SLS internals, Forged Pistons, lightweight Crankshaft, Revised ecu rated at 481hp

Pretty cool its about as fast as the GT3 as well.

60-130 in the GT3 I ran a 9.65
60-130 in the C63 w/P31 I ran a 9.79

Great to hear you're enjoying the C63 Sam! Taking your old GT3 against a 481hp C63 on an uphill climb from 6000rpm in second to about redline on 4th gear, the GT3 fared very well! The sharkwerks center muffler delete was a must for me. Can't tell you how much I love the car,... Now if it would only stop raining here!

wasnt getting to the track enough, if at all! So I thought it would be smarter to save money and get something more practical as it is my only car.
