I think Mercedes made a huge mistake with the C63 in trying to compete with M3 in the hadeling department. They should have stuck with what made AMG cars sucessful, which is huge power and comfortable ride. Now they made the C63 ride harsher than the M3 and yet still not handle as well as an M3.

ah, don't be too harsh, if you have watched or read many of the reviews, they all mention the level of comfort on the C63 with out and with the sport pack.

Auto car, car and driver and verdict on cars.com have said the 18" tire and wheels with std suspension was very stiff and the drive bone jarring on poor roads. I am not sure they thought it was harsh for a luxury sports sedan like C63 or they just thought it was very harsh compared to even sports cars such as Porsche etc
Slk 55 amg on std suspension is harsher on poor roads compare to porsche cayman/911 with adaptive suspension and SLk55 amg with perf pack is said to be even harsher
I am guesing that C63 ride is fine on decents roads and U.S highways but can be very stiff and uncomfortable on poor roads

the main reason i am getting the C63 is the ENGINE. i want a small sedan w/ a large V8 in it that will haul *** and make music to my ears when i'm at WOT. i could care less for all the gadgets, in fact, i'm even comtemplating not even getting NAVI since i barely use it in my car now.
btw JTC, I have always loved your ride...
!!! Your are a luky people
