. most mags are getting 4.1-4.3 for E63. i think it will be a very close match but my gut feeling says C63 might squeak by E63

I was afraid someone would pickup on that, you got me there. I did see other times of 4.2 for the E... just making it more dramatic than it really is hahaha. better enjoy it while it lasts!! because in couple of years... a new beast will be born and life will be normal again.

I believe both engines will eventually produce the same hp and tq numbers, which means the lighter car wins. I think the C63 is about 400 lbs lighter than the E63, and this should give it the advantage from 0 to 60 and in the 1/4 mile. However from a roll, both cars should be almost equal.

When a C63(magazine or wherever) runs a 12.11@118 then it will be faster then the E63.Until then it's all bench racing

I don't think the question is which is faster is important, the question is which is better and it seems from UK journo's reports the C63 is. Better chassis and you can turn off ESP for a start.
And the E class has roundy headlights which makes it look very old fashioned nowadays. My C43 looks more modern

I think the E63 will be faster because the engine is calibrated with more HP and torque. But the C63 will be very close!!! Can't wait to finally get pricing on it.
BTW... the 2009/2010 E63 will be coming out next fall!!!! New body and hopefully TT 6.3.

But it has been discussed many times that we are not to take what AMG informs us word by word in terms of HP numbers.A few people have compared between the C63 vs E63 vs CLK63 and analyzed the power to weight ratio as well as their 0-60 mph numbers, and it looks like the advertised 451 hp could very well be a gimmick. What people believe the real number should be is around 500. Of course we won’t know until someone performs a dyno test.
