Our local Mercedes Dealer has been allocated one of these magnificent machines and I have been put in charge building this C63 Black Series monster. Does anyone know anything about the Track Package and wether it is worth the extra $. I am getting the Carbon Fiber package for sure and maybe the Aero Package. Any input would be appreciated

the Track Package consists of a set or tires & additional rear-diff cooler. that's $5,950 for just that. well, it should be pretty simple though. are u planning to track it? if u don't, i don't see the point of it at all. not to mention those Dunlop wouldn't last very long. or if u want that grip u can simply go with a set of MPS Cup or Pirelli Corsa System or wait for Rack to carry the Dunlop. basically u're paying for a big package tag for something that needs to be replaced soon. i wouldn't do it.

As far as I know there is no carbon fiber package. My order comes standard with the carbon fiber mirrors, side skirts, front lip etc at no additional charge if that is what you're referring to. I did however add the track package and the aero package. I didn't really care about the tires on the track package because I will be replacing the wheels immediately but the rear diff cooler was my main focus since I am deciding to track the car. If you're not going to track the car, then you don't need the track package, those tires will last you less than a month on normal roads and they have zero traction in the rain. The only 2 options I was given for the car are those 2 options, everything else is standard, oh and you can also pay an extra $1000 if you don't want the titanium colored wheels and change them to matte black.

Do the US get to have the AMG racing bucket seats? I wanted those but apparently they do not pass Canada safety inspections so I was forced to go with the normal C63 AMG seats with the red stitching, they're not too bad after I sat in a C63 coupe at the dealership since they were redesigned for 2012, the old C63 sedan seats I didn't like very much since they were a bit tight (I'm 6'2, 220lbs). You can also choose to do the back seat deletion or not, I figured since I had to get the comfy AMG reclinable seats, might as well go with all 4 seats.
