I don't believe it...at least I hope its not true!

BoBcanada

with dual clutch transmission from a roll Id assume it is possible... some1 need to set up a race and try. thats it

S5LorinserF1

that is complete


the m3 has only 420hp and 290 torque. There is no way in hell it is pulling away from a underrated 450hp and 450tq C63.

lexaltezza

Well its 0-60 and 1/4 mile times are very close to the C63's.

S5LorinserF1

yea thats what they say..... i can tell you from experience when the new m3 tried to race with me and my buddies c63 on the garden state parkway 2 weeks ago.


I blew that guys doors off so bad he didnt know what happened lol

ultraseven

highly unlikely unless the C63 couldn't get any traction on its tires.

Stuttgart-UT

Yes its true the M3 is the best car in the world and now everybody knows it...

What a stupid threat.. lexalteza go to the m3 forum and stay there...

LOL need vids to prove it, needless to say, C63 review has been> over M3.

zibby43

Not that far-fetched really. M3 is lighter, and the DCT is very quick.

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.

chucknorris

At triple digit speeds, I would guess the C63 would start to pull away...

kip

. A M3 beating a C63, just not true...
This is just one comparison check 8:40

Not even close in ANY magazine!!!
AMS, Autozeitung, CARanddriver, Sport Auto, how much more proof do you need?

lexaltezza

I meant with the DCT.

lexaltezza

Why do you sound so defensive? Perhaps YOU think the C63 is the best car in the world.

lexaltezza

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

RENNSTAGE

torque dosnt matter at high speed roll's is what im guessing they did

Inf4life

If he posted a video then I would've believed him. Otherwise.......NO.

Addicted2Speed

What planet are you from to say that torque doesn't matter from a roll? Because on planet Earth, it matters a great deal

BoBcanada

even IF m3 can hang with C63 dont forget that C63 engine is DETUNED, and with fewer mods it will be faster than M5

Watch the from the dig video. That guy in the M3 can't drive for ****.

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.

most people that will drive a manual M3 will never driver like the professional editors that test for a living.

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.

TopGun32

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.
