I think we do. The C63 is a beast and Mb released the developmental package(p51 I think) which ups the power and what not. Just put it like this, AMG's are performance cars that do everything well.

I'm staying out of this one. I can see most comments are made from youtube car reviews rather than personal experience. I mean cmon really? Tail happy? An M3 isn't tail happy?? It doesn't do tail whips? It's a car review it's suppose to be entertaining. Any car with that much power can be tail happy especially with traction off. It's called knowing your car's limits.

Yes and M3 does handle better than a C63 but coupe VS 4 door. I'm sure coupe and coupe will too but keep the 4 door in mind. But all this doesn't mean the C63 can't handle. You're not gonna take it out of the parking lot and crash it into a wall. Many members with just a tune are over 520hp (minimum). Are their crashing into walls?

You guys talks about handling like you guys only race in road courses.

DCT is just so godly though. It was pure sex. MCT where you at??!!

The Sexy SLR, SLS the insane torque of the SL65 and SL600. The 63 motors the 55k motors. The SL65 BS the CLK63 BS and now the new FI 63 motor the older motors 60 and 73 that's used in the zonda..ahh how sexy. But you guys are right, AMG doesn't offer a manual so it's completely fail

at the "you know nothing about BMW or Benz" comment.. Puh-leaze.. I've forgotten more than you'll ever even learn.

I love Mercedes engines, too.. really loved the old 55K model from the E/CLS/S/G AMG cars. But enough with the automatics, already. I want to drive, not just steer! And when it comes to driving.. BMW > Benz, every day, every way.

Still love both in their own way, though.

You sound like a 16 year old girl with that last driving ability opinion, but I completely agree with you about the 55k engines. I'd go on to make the statement that I'd rather have one of those eurocharged than a 6.3.

How about a 63 Supercharged? JRCART has a Weistech blower on his CLK63 Black Series. That thing is making some serious power.

Cool, yeah I met that guy at Autoscope when I was getting Eurocharged. He got Kleeman headers on his C63, and got it Eurocharged in the same day... lucky *******.

I would definitely pick my wife. For a few reasons.
1. I love her and she had my son. She is always there when I need her and she truly takes care of me.
2. If she sees me do something to my car she wants to do it to her car.
3. She loves cars and tattoos just like me.

haha it looks like we do, i guess we kinda need it now that Xhale is gone, lol

i agree bmw overall beats mercedes in performance, but if you look all of the aspects, mercedes will win any day(yes i am a little biased towards MB), if you look at comfort, style, reliability, i'd take a mercedes just for that.

it's only a matter of time before AMG jumps ahead of the game again and starts putting some manual trannies in, they always come back ahead in the long run

Good luck with that. MB has no R&D in high-hp mannies. Sadly, other manufacturers are coming over to their side with semi-slushboxes. Manual transmissions are about to be on the endangered species list.
