I would too, but I don't have an extra $30K+ that it would cost compare to the Evo

I think if you do get the Evo, you can get it for a lot cheaper. You can get a leftover, well equipped 2010 for a steal.

Yep that's me. Mind you there were lots of other factors as well such as the reliability concerns (which tend to happen when you start modifying), the negative attention/stereotypes, cost of running it (and the 'Evo premium' charged on everything), etc...

But it was great to drive on the track and on the street. Bit noisy and uncomfortable but it was epic when you needed it.

Hmmmm he said Toy, I have been thinking about going this route as well, Im sorry guys the C63 still will be slower than a well Modified EVO at the end of the day. MB AMGs while nice are still not a performance bargain by any means. If you are looking for a toy and don't care what people thing than you can't go wrong with a EVO or STI.

don't do it, my previous ride is an evox SE it's similar to the mr. the tranny can't hold that much power, interior is cheap but it's quick as hell it's not over rated tho. I had mines tuned @ 365whp and 320wtq which Is really low due to the fragile sst tranny.

I say it all depends on what your going to do with the car. If you plan on taking it to the track and modding the hell out of it hands down Evo. If you want something fast from the get go and want a nice interior get the C63. I just got my C350 for a daily driver since my evo is not much fun in traffic with a manual tranny.
