a quarter mile at a time

that's a big leap from the C350 to the C63. Benz is definitely out to close the book on the HP wars....

Does anyone think the C63 will actually be getting the 503 H.P. version of the motor like Car & Driver said or a de-tuned version? - Dude, think what Kleeman could do with a 503 h.p. motor for starters!

So our modded AMG V8's will be able to smoke the new 63's, unless you change the transmission. This fact will definitely hamper the aftermarket for these new cars.

Is the C55 5-speed tranny same as E55 , which is awsome as it takes much more torque than the 7G !

automobile mag says

automobile mag says "The obligatory AMG version will be powered by a 408-hp, 5.5-liter V-8. Also possible is a limited-edition, 476-hp C63 AMG"
the same engine in CLK63 AMG
i think it sounds pretty reasonable.

C63 AMG

The replacement for the C55 better have more than 420 or they can keep the car. A 5.5 V8 tuned to 400 is not going far enough in my book to keep up. The main reason I buy AMG is because of the power. Plain and simple. I want better handling and less power I buy Audi and BMW. Just my opinion.
