Walked hard from a roll. Probably a closer matchup with an E90 M3, the 'vert is quite heavy.

Saw a c63 for the first time in person yesterday, never thought I would see one in this neck of the woods. Found it very blah to look at and really did not like the interior but those are some sweet seats and it has one hell of a rumble to it. Still happy with my choice of the M over the C63 AMG. I still needed the three peddles, maybe when I cave to these "not real automatic" cars I will drive with the rest of the push the peddle and hold on to the steering wheel crowd. Till then 6MT FTW! (sorry for the MT push, I am sure I will grow out of it as I get older, haha)

I'm guessing that in the rolling start part of the race the M3 hit the limiter in that first shift because of the way the C63 seemed to jump ahead at that point. Here's this issue of lag or misjudgement coming into play once more.
You notice when the driver is taken out of the loop (LC requires no shifting from the driver) that this much heavier M3 got very close to matching the C63. Now I want to see a re-match against a E92 to see who is the victor. |

Test drove both,
Put a deposit on the C63. IMO Looks way better inside and out, and so much more powerful around the city. Alot more fun to drive. Torque is unreal. If I wanted a track car I would buy a Porsche GT. C63 is a superior car IMO |

I beg to differ, aside from some chrome bits and a quad exhaust it looks just like a C300. Same interior too, crappy ride, no LSD (although coming for 2009 with an even harsher ride). MBs style doesn't provoke emotions of "omg I want to drive it". And I seriously thought about buying this car because it was a bit more powerful than the M. But at the end of the day the C63 doesn't stack up to the M in all categories.

Have you test driven the C63? Like I said, M3 engineers messed up by not giving it enough torque. |

You can tune it very easily to over 500 hp if you so desire. You basically get the same engine that is in cars that cost around 200k. Very attractive indeed. http://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/sh...n&pageNumber=1 Last edited by stockwizard; 08-10-2008 at 01:39 PM.. |

Funny how we always try to convince other of our choice.
Both are arguably remarkable cars. C63 isn't available with MT, so it's no option for some and hence not for me. Best regards, south

I have heard the c63 looks like it is trying too hard, and others say it looks just like a c300? Fact of the matter is IMO it looks much nice than the M3 sedan. The interiors aren't even comparable. |

If you have really driven both you'd know that the M has a more comfortable ride with EDC than the MB. If you think you can live with the MB's ride now just wait till you see how much worse it will get with the LSD. You are deluding yourself if you think that the C63 doesn't look like a C300. There are very few exterior cues to say "I'm a C63". Aside from the AMG badge and quad exhausts, anyone looking at it from the front or the side won't know the difference. Good if you want a sleeper, I did actually but it didn't set itself apart from the C300 enough to warrant my money. That includes interior and exterior. Final nail in the coffin is MBs reliability, it's gotten better, but not $70k better. |

I have driven both! C63 stands out way more than the M3 Sedan!!!
Now I have people on here saying the M3 interior is nicer? lol The seats in the C63 are totally different that the c300 and way better than the m. Everyone knows this. As far as the ride being stiff, it depends what you are used to. To me it didn't feel that harsh really. The engine sound is better as well. The only thing the M is better at is if you are tracking it consistently and it is a little smoother ride. Some of you are way too biased. If you guys took the time to drive the car, most would agree with me. A 335 EVEN HAS MORE TORQUE THAN A M3!!!!. EMBARRASSING. CAN"T IMAGINE A C300 HAVING MORE TORQUE THAN C63!!!!!!!! |

This is an argument that will never be won by either side. You are on an M3 forum, and thus will be met with overwhelming support from the M3 fans. Head over to the C63 forums and it will be just the opposite.
C63 or M3, it's really up to your preference. Like South said, they are both AMAZING cars. If you don't like the C63, its because you like the M3 so much, not because there is anything wrong with the Merc. |
