2013 Mercedes Benz C63 Black Series "Track Pack"

Pole Position
I wonder about the ride quality and how it would be as a day to day car.
Or would its ride be too stiff such that it would be good for track days only

Horrific car and I would never touch one. I don't see any swagger or passion here at all, just a plebeian soulless teutonic Mercedes stripped of any and all refinement for parts that have no real world value and a price tag to match.
This is a car you drive once or twice for fun and to show off. As an ownership proposition it is not attractive. It doesn't even look that great to my eyes.

Soulless is what I would call it too.

Glad you did bring that up. The ride is VERY harsh. Very harsh, think 2008 IS F but worse. You feel every single crack in the road. The high performance Dunlops contribute to this. Honestly day to day its harsh but this is a car that deleted its back seat so you know where its priorities are.

Me gusta for sure!! I took a ride in one around the block at my local cars and coffee. The car is like a flying rock!! (if that makes sense lol) I especially loved the interior!!

If we all can be so lucky to even drive or own one. The argument that it isn't a practical daily driver or that its only good for blast to drive a few times and that the shininess would wear off.
If the latter is true, call it a prostitute and I'll rent her over and over since I can't afford to own her. LOL

The aggressive styling might not be for everyone, but it looks very cool for the right audience.

The word "swagger" was used in the original post I was responding to:
Please stay in context.
I don't care if it drives fast. There is not a line on that car I find attractive or desirable. You can bet the ride quality will suck, and the performance can only be enjoyed on select road surfaces in select locations. At over $100k you get a C-class with a monster engine, tacky body kit, unsightly wheel wells that look like they were glued on to the body in the aftermarket, and cheesy aero parts (like that wing). I don't see the point.
This car has about as much grace as my neighbours riced out Integra. Sure it has a much bigger engine, but the reaction to both is "meh". Put a big engine in a golf cart and it will go fast too. It takes a lot more to be "special".
