No car mag. has tested the new DCT yet but it should be producing some 4.0 sec. 0-60 times, which is very close to the times of the C63.

Now that sounds about right. A good tune on the C63 should embarass an M3.

The Australian magazine "Motor" (Apr08) has a test of M3 (6 speed), C63 (auto) and another local car.
........0-100km/h................0-400m.........................80-120km/h
M3.......5.3................13.5 @ 174.4km/h................3.1sec (2nd/3rd)
C63......5.4................13.4 @ 178.8km/h................2.9sec (D)
My 2c worth - Main reason for the C63 0-100km/h times being anywhere from 4.1 (best I've read) - 5.4, is the trouble reporters are having launching it from a standstill.
In the magazine the reporter even states "So it's (the times) close, but what the figures don't show is how damn difficult the AMG with all its low-down urge...is to launch. While to BMW could be balanced against bogging and wheel spinning thanks to a tactile throttle and linear clutch, the C63 was impossible to launch hard..."
Once the AMG is rolling though, it is quicker throughout the speed range due to its torque.
The rest of the article, the reporter did like the seats, gearbox, brakes, steering, etc and would have the C63 over the M3, it is also AUD17,000 cheaper than the M3.

C/D just got 4.1 seconds 0-60 and 12.6 @113 out of a manual M3 sedan.
I bet those figures were not acheived on the first pass and took multiple runs to avoid too much wheels spin or too little.
let's face it gents.. in the real world there is no "DO OVERS" you show your self on video.. you better be a good driver or you just pissed off alot of M onwers.
Do you really think a guy that "didn't know HOW to drive" would put him self in that position???? think about it.
Let's stop with the excuses of "he could not drive".. he bought an M3 and most M3 drivers are super skilled Righ! and most AMG drivers are lazy.

back to the original post..
who cares what somebody else posted.
Why bother posting here.??? that is my question.
a c63 lost to an M3.. big deal.. move on!
There are many excuses you can point out.
He was in C mode, he hesitated, he was in the wrong gear... he had a full tank of gas.. car was not broken in yet.. ect.. ect.
either way.. it would not matter ..its only 1 side of the story.

I dunno if any of you bothered to read down to the third post before starting a riot here, but the M3 owner says his M3 has a DCT type tranny, which means it's faster than the manual. DCT somewhat equivalent of an SMG for the E46. I pwn E46 M3's left and right unless they're smg, those guys pull me everytime. I'm not a nub in draging, my C32 is bone stock.
I like objectivity. And history has shown SMG M3's are a tough match for AMG C Class.
