That's why I was worried about buying it but idk, if I also get another 4wd car i don't think I'll care.

It's worth it. With or without the P31 the car is not going to be good in the snow anyway. Your buying a performance car so you might as well get the performance package. I opted for it on my 2012 and I'm happy. The big red brakes and suade steering wheel are pretty cool too. I would recommend getting the LSD as well.

Absolutely go for the Development Package. You'll appreciate it every day you open the car up once the weather gets nice, but until then, just slap some snow tires (or at least all seasons) on it and take it easy on the throttle.

If you can handle the C63 in the snow, you can handle the C63 with the Development Package. If you can't handle the C63 in the snow, don't fool around with it.

I would definitely opt for having the Development Package. The aesthetics add to it for me too. I like having more carbon and the red calipers which I know you can have done afterwards... but 30 hp isn't going to make a huge difference in snow either.

Hmm... curious as well. Wasn't it recently established in another thread that he's still in high school? See corrections below.

Seems more fitting to me, no?

I'd still take a C63 w/o the package but it does add some nice bits to the car.

Yeah I am actually 17 so yes I do, and yes I will earn the money to buy this car, "daddy's money" isn't buying this thing, he drives a Honda accord FYI, I didn't wanna be trapped in the lower-middle-class I was in forever so I decide to change that and start a business so I could actually afford the cars I dream about. Unlike all these idiots in the occupy protests, I am actually doing something to EARN money not demanding that the gov't give it to me.
