I will keep it simple, for those who say it is a real AMG then it is a real AMG in their world. For those who say it isn't a real AMG it is not a real AMG in their world.

To take your statement a step further, for those that say a C43 isn't a real AMG, BUT THE C63 is, remember, the C class isn't a real Mercedes, so there is that. If you're not a real Mercedes, can you possibly be a real AMG?

Probably hits a little different when people hit your fake AMG C63.

Haha, yeah. They forget, AMG's weren't hand built to begin with. You ordered the parts from AMG, and later from a Mercedes dealer. You could buy a modified Benz, with the AMG moniker, but it didn't have a hand built motor. People act like "One man, one engine" means that someone was using a micrometer while "building" the motor and their motor is blueprinted and balanced now. The guy building it grabbed parts from a bin, in some cases guided a machine to the block, he did slide the rods and pistons in, but there was no magic imparted during the assembly. Arguably, there is more room for error with a human than with a machine.

It may sting a little that a 3.0L V6 can run up its larger counterpart for those who completely disregard AMG's engineering behind it

You deleted your thread after becoming utterly BOTHERED dude how unbelievably insecure are you
No plaque, not an AMG. This has been the case since 2003 with the M113k.

He deleted his thread because the conversation veered from the original topic by some kids, so he MOVED that changed topic to a whole new thread for them to play in.

"Grow up kid" -Supremely mad forum poster with a C450

"The newest AMG, the “Mercedes AMG C43" was, up until a few days ago, referred to as the Mercedes Benz C450. The car got some small updates (including a new transmission), but the principal change was the name."

Why are C43 renters so sensitive? Likely they are financially stressed, hence the reason they can't afford a real 63 AMG.

Haha, agreed. They get all worked up on a car they probably don't even own.

If you could afford it, then why not go for a real AMG E63 4matic?
