AutoBild: C63 AMG Coupe P31 vs BMW M3 CRT vs Lexus IS-F
1st place: Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Performance Package (facelift)
AMG made it: the facelifted C63 is fast on the track, sounds great and it's ideal for everyday use. They also mentioned that the new wet clutch-MCT works faster than the previous 7G-Tronic - they got 4,2 s 0-100 km/h in Mode S+ (Race Start is not for perfect times, only for the show). The new C63 is faster around the track as well: on the same tyres it's 0,3 s per lap faster than the old C63 PP - thanks to the quicker gearbox and better suspension.
2nd place: BMW M3 CRT
In terms of performance the M3 CRT is the clear winner. The seatposition, the paddles on the steering wheel and the sound - all for the highest-performance.
1,7 s advantage per lap compared to the M3 DKG Competition Package.
3rd place: Lexus IS-F (facelift)
No more nervous steering feel, no more body roll in corners - thanks to the new dampers. The fresh IS-F is 1,3 seconds faster than the old one.
The article is in German so I'll just link it.
