GREAT new C63 race vid !!

damn, we pretty much had the lead and set the pace the whole time

it was only until one big turn at the end, where the driver of the AMG hit dirt/grass and the Mster was able to pass him by

great vid....wish someone could share some insight into what was said

The M3 kills the C63 on the track. I'm sure if the M3 would have been up front from the beginning it would have put some more distance on the C63. Just glad the C63 beat the IS-F.

well i think they lined up the cars by speed
thats why the C63 was last, and M3 second to last

as far as on the track, obviously the M3 is the better track car
BUT
the C63 had the lead the whole time up until the very end....

in anycase, look at the times....the M3 won by a little more than 1 second
maybe the tighter suspension with the performance package will help close the gap on the tracks

Actually if you look closely at the beginning of the video, you'll see that the M3 was last. My guess is they lined them up based on lap times.

not bad, everyone knows the M3 is a better all around car...but I think the C63 would win in a good old fashioned drag race.

yes you are right dude.....

in anycase, there was this turn at the end where the C63 driver kinda f*cked up on.....and thats when the M3 grabbed the lead

in anycase, if this is what youre doing with cars (taking them to the race track) the M3 would be the way to go

I think i missed that dirt and grass. But I did see the M3 just drive right past the C63 in a corner. Not a shocker at all. AMG has yet to build a M equal on anything other than a black series vehicle!

i personally prefer the sl63 to the m6 any day of the week, but thats a diff convo

yea, i have to go back and watch the vid again

but on the turn where the M3 catches up, they show the view from the INSIDE of the C63......it looks like he goes off road a bit

even if he didnt, the M3 is still way better on the turns

+1...and what really sucks is how much they want to charge us for a car ( CLK63BS ) that will out perform an M car.

I think they should cut the crap and the Black Series should be a $70K car with rear seats for all of us to enjoy just like the M3.

After the M passed the 63 it started putting some time on it. If the M didnt drift that whole last turn he would have beat the 63 by atleast another 1.5 seconds. Everyone knows the M is a better track car, the C63 more fun bc of the power and handling combo...

M3 is the best car of the 3 no doubt, but we all would take the C63 over them all for one reason. Real world power and excitement, not to mention mod-ability. Great handling cars don't really feel that great on the street, especially the very small edge of the M3 over the rest.
