everything and anything
Just finished watching it

I was really happy to hear that the drivers did not think the performance package was rough as some of the magazines articles.

All in all a good presentation of the new C63....loving the new steering wheel available with P30 package.

I watched it too. It was a good show. I distinctly remeber them talking about it being compliant over the rough parts of the track. I think it was Paul Tracy that said it was comfortable for daily driving but aggressive too.

Yeah I noticed that too. Some of those mag. reviewers must be absolutely spineless. It is nice to see actual race car drivers take these machines to the test.

Also, +1 C63NYC on the comment about the transmission.

I thought it was okay, kinda boring at times. However, it was good to hear that its not THAT rough of a ride, and thats with the performance package.

Yep. First 30 minutes were a total waste of time other than for some entertainment value. How many people interested in this car are going to shoot spikes into their tires and use it for ice racing? It also would have been more informative if they had more close ups and commentary about the car both inside and out.

I was somewhat glad to hear that the ride may not be that harsh. But remember these guys are race drivers who are used to racing suspensions that rattle their teeth on rough pavement. And any interior shots with road vibrations were probably edited for quality reasons. I'm hoping it's gonna be at least somewhere between what they say is not bad and the complaints of the magazine reviewers who are used to the typical softer rides of Benz's.

The only way to determine how comfortable/uncomfortable the ride is for everyones personal taste is an extensive test drive. But dealers around here aren't permitting test drives on the first ones that come in until you do some paperwork first. And even then they are limiting how far you can test drive it (around the block).

I have a good relationship with our dealer so I am hoping I can take one for a spin in the next few weeks.

the show was great.

As an editor, i thought the first half hour dragged a little, they made up in the second half of the show, wow!! that car is a monster.

motor trend's magazine may edition did a comparison between the c63, the bmw m3 and the lexus IS f, the C kicks evereboby A**.

How ironic the magazine has the 2009 cadillac cts on the cover,As a benz guy, i must say that car is nice.

Was also impressed with the new CTS. Especially with the NAV and 40 GB hard drive media system.
