What do you think? 0-140mph and then 60mph-100mph, do you think this C63 will feel quicker? Debating on whether to get a C63 or not over the E55/E63.

Definitely won't. They compare the C63 to the M3. They compare the E55 to the M5.

well I'd guess it will be very very close, I mean 1/4 its is very close 12.5 @113 for C63 ( i think i saw 12.3 somehwere too) with 12.4 @116 and lower depending on the launch for E55.

But with some ecu tweaks C63 should be low 12 car just as E55.

But E55/63 will never handle like C63!

C63 has the same motor as the E63, and is lighter. I don't see how difficult it would be to extract all 500 horses and beyond. Also, it's a better gearbox over the E55's 5sp auto. Test out both, and see which you prefer.

true. I rolled up to the local exhaust shop to have cutouts put on my E55 and the guy looked at me like I lost my mind. He said, "You want me to put these on that car?" I replied yes, and he said, "these belong on a 69 dodge charger, not a mercedes!" LOL

i think it's going to be very simple- software re-map should bring out most of the power of E63 setup, and prob intake as well would be beneficial. then you have a serious car. people forget that the C63 is a 3800lb car (that's only 100lb less than an M6 with 50 less hp stock on stock--it may be a little car but not a light one) so the hp to weight ratio can still be rationally stepped up - 500hp is perrrrfect for the C63.

i think i would be happier with a 500hp C63 than an E55 or E63 ( and I had both of them)...thats the direction im heading
