Cool vid, neat to see the C63 beat it out in a straight line. With better tires, it should have beat it on the hot lap.

Can't compare those two cars. It's the same deal as CTSV being compared to M5. Wrong class peeps. C63=RS4=M3, E63=RS6=M5... the weight, balance of the car and a ton of other factors make this a nonstarter. Though - given either car, sorry I'd go all in on an RS6 - just not willing to pay almost twice as much for one!

yeah, its amazing that the C63 had such tires on to begin with and also the question is did it have the PP? I would like to see a test, one without PP and the other with PP (LSD).....

When will it end...? The C63 appears to be getting compared to every car with over 400HP these days. I'd really like to see how it stacks up against the CTS-V and maybe the IS-F in every day driving. It's one sweet ride, but it wasn't built to take on the automotive world.

Please keep on comparing

I love it, the more comparision the more I love my car, you see how high the bar has been set? (Yes I'm watching too many commercials)

why not...? AMG has been in this game for a while and having owned or driven some of the cars they are putting it up against it's clear that the car is a beast...the 420 hp in my RS4 or even my friends M3 just doesn't have the same delivery the C63 provides us with. If the car can hold it's own against an RS6 then all the better. It's not the greatest car in the world but the $$$ to fun ratio is hard to beat.

**notice I say this as my car is in the service department** lol...

I've tried ATF blue on my miata for track days. I still managed to cook the fluid oddly enough.

Heres the layout of the only track in BC

Want me to explain it ? Read the comments section - the M3 has a Kelleners ECU tune and exhaust. There is your explanation.

The M3 guys like to leave that crap out because if we start chipping and getting 550 hp, then we will start blowing the doors off the M3 kleeners ECU and an exhaust they want to pick!!

RIght now the cars are pretty close, but the C63 will beat a stock M3 most of the time. On a bad day youre not feeling well and M3 comes along youre not paying attention and the M3 could beat your C63. HOWEVER if we start chipping the motors go from the 400 in the M3 to like what 425? thats all youre going to get out of it. BMW did not leave much left in the motor.
THE AMG C63 HOWEVER is detuned and the sky in the limit. I am sure 600hp is not out of the question for the AMG C63 motor. So the stock advantage we had grows leaps and bounds if we start releasing the power in this motor

Then youre going to have a bunch of 575hp cars running against the 425 hp M3 and it will be a mess.

And that's why I also love this car so much,MB and AMG knew that there is so much more room to improve this beast and that the aftermarket tuners would have a field day with this car and have read somewhere that the motor isn't even close to being "stressed", hell a C300 motor is more stressed than the C63.
