Autocar short road test of C63

They like it a lot and give it the nod over the M3. Personally, I like the DSG M3 coupe in white. However, this is yet another stellar review for the newest AMG which can keep up with the M3 and RS4 in the twists (as long as it's dry) and dominate them both on the freeway.

I love the comment, "as long as its dry." It doesn't mention that in the article anywhere, so is this a personal quip with the car, does the M3 handle better in the rain? How much rain do you get in L.A anyways?

I think he meant in relation to the RS4 since it has AWD
