The C63 is the perfect car if all you did was drive in a straight line

As the drag race was over a very short distance it is hard to judge. I would like to see the C63 up against the M3 on that air strip where top end really comes into it.

Oh. Give the M3 launch control and the DCT and the gap will be much much closer.

i agree that the C63 is a great drag racer.

as for the Top Gear vid, u are right that the race was short but if u watch as the C63 crosses the finish line, i believe the M3 was at least 3 car lengths behind.

Yes but just as the M3 pulled in the Rs4 in the top end it would also cause the C63 some grief I believe. Only way to tell is to get them both on the air strip and see what happens.

I am sure m5board.com will get right onto this.

Neither car is as quick as this though.

Watch the M6 take down the new m3 on the airstrip

the m3 misshifted in that video, that's why it was such a large lead.

Sounds like an excuse

Over such a long drag, it really doesn't matter. If we want to nit, the whole manual transmission thing is a big liability to SMG / auto cars. over 4 gears, you lose 1.5 - 2 seconds worth of acceleration time.

Either way I love all 3 cars and don't think I wanna hate on either one of them.
