Default rolling road this friday....mercedes C63

2008 performance pack car so meant to be 487 standard ....previous owner said he had it remapped but theres no receipt in the extensive service history to prove it..... standard everything down to the genuine air filters apart from secondary decat pipes....well maintained by previous owners, the main dealer told me its got one of the best service histories theyve seen and its never been late for a scheduled service ...

i know it does feel faster than the one i crashed last year and that one definitely had a remap but that was a standard 457bhp car with a remap....

i just had it serviced with new plugs....also had the transmission serviced recently ....injectors were checked recently and 1 was replaced at main dealer and ive only used vpower in it in the 8 months ive owned it ...also just had an oil cooler replaced after a stone damaged the original one and always using main dealer parts....

....any guestimates...? my guess is 502bhp.....

478 for the transmission oil cooler..... Plus more transmission oil.... 308 for the suspension arm and 8 plugs at 12 quid each plus an assortment of washers and bolts all from the main dealer and 6.5 hours of labour at the Mercedes specialist at 65 an hour...
