Very nice, maybe Barbus was bitter that AMG got bought. Seems like everything they do now is one notch better than AMG.

I am pretty sure the real reason is that AMG cars now have to comply with safety and emissions standards as well as carry a factory warranty. These factors either apply much less so or not at all to aftermarket companies, giving them a lot more flexibility.

I imagine the front / rear axle weight balance is now heavily biased to the front with that added weight. Very cool though.

as if the 4000lb C63 isn't. disappointed with the W204 AMG is all I have to say. just when you thought AMG finally got the formula down to match up with the M3 on the track with the C55 the C63 turned out again to be a understeering heavy bahn cruiser.

even Audi realize the V8 was too heavy in the S4 and replaced it with a supercharged V6.

I was reading some of the replies, and was like, "Did I go to the future and just get back?" saying to myself, I know i seen and read about this car already, maybe I need to read again, maybe they changed something, lol.

so what its been posted before, its not like he is asking questions that's been answered many times. this is purely information sharing. There are some of us that doesn't follow this board everyday and posts like these are still informative. So instead of moving on, some ppl just post condescending remarks, nice.

search function prior to posting. It's a habit we're trying to instill.
