Um, when you own an F car, as many of us have or do, you don't buy it for the daily driver. That is what AMG or M's or RS's are for. But to compare the ride, handling and suspension of say a 360, or 430 to that of a C63? 
No doubt the C63 is a beast, no doubt. So is my ML63, but, c'mon. MB quality over Ferrari or Pagani or any other F car for that matter.. 
Enjoy the new C, if your opinion it is better than any other Supercar or High end you've owned, god bless and good luck.

My dad has a lot of seat time in my Corvette Z06. He also owns a Gallardo. After driving my Vette on highways and residential roads, he says it is probably one of the most amazing cars he has ever driven. He says it outperforms his Gallardo and does it in a way that makes it comfortable and easy to drive around town. Would he ever think of getting rid of his Gallardo for a Vette (ZR1 included)? Hell no! It's all about the experience, prestige, looks, and fun you have in an exotic car.
Exotics are toys. Apples to oranges guys...

C6 Z06 is great in performance BUT interior feels quite "lacking" to me.........

What tracks and what dimension is a Scuderia a faster track car than a Zonda F? For raw performance and driving no car on earth matches the Zonda F, except for the clubsport zonda. RWD, Mid Engine, 6 speed manual, bare carbon fiber color option, and a Naturally aspirated V12.

Kid didn't do his homework, Zonda F decimates all comers, Pagani really did it right and continues to improve on his original, Scud doesn't come anywhere near it.

WOOOOW. I'm sorry, I just had to respond to this post after reading that. The F430 is NOTHING compared to an CL65, maybe you drove the F430 but clearly you haven't driven the CL65. You can kill the Ferrari while getting a massage in the cooled seats and playing a track off of your iPod (or music from your 60GB built in hard drive).
Don't get me wrong, Ferrari are good cars; but Ferrari's only sell because we live in a vain world -- Porsche is a REAL sports car. Because the F430 would be put to shame by the GT2.
But the one credit I will give Ferrari is the 575 Maranello. That was a true sports car!! The 360, F430... those are not the greatest Ferrari's, they are more flashy than anything.
That's just my 2cents.

Go out and drive all of the cars you just uselessly rambled about and come back with a real drivers opinion.

You have just revealed to us that you have obviously never driven an F430 or 360, or any Ferrari for that matter. Comparing a GT2 to an F430 or Cl65 is no comparison. Each car is vastly different from one another. Different in driving feel, utility, comfort, and performance.
Go out and drive all of the cars you just uselessly rambled about and come back with a real drivers opinion.

The GT2, to ME, is better in every aspect than an F430; from optional equipment (i.e. Nav, Bose system, etc.) to performance numbers (not just manufacture claims/road test data, but at real track lap times).
So, I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I'm just saying it's hard to argue the facts and in almost every performance factor, the Porsche GT2 has come out ahead. And where the Ferrari wins seems to be price, exclusivity and design (debatable to all). I'm not saying the Ferrari is crap, I'm just saying an F430 is not the best sports car in the world; it's actually Ferrari's lowest product - so Ferrari is capable of much better.
As for the CL65, it isn't in their category - I was commenting because those were the cars being compared. There's a member on here called "Xecution" who had a Ferrari and got the S65 - he said the S65 felt, drove and was much more powerful and faster (funny, in that thread I was arguing for the Ferrari).
Anyway, I guess you own a Ferrari, you seem like you are defending your purchase
