Translation:

C63:

He likes the power and the brakes. He thinks the C63 is going to be slower than the M3 because it pushes in the corners.

M3:

Nothing but praise basically.

Result:

They are surprised that the C63 manages to beat the M3 and applaud AMG for building a very special car.

Basically a 7 minute lovefest for the M3. Nothing important really standing out.

They said the C63 lap time was half a second faster than the M3. And I believe it was witout the PP.

2009 C63 AMG Black on Black PP Package CF fully loaded
Its top speed was 123 MPH... and I think it had the PP, notice the steering wheel. If its like the U.S. the PP comes with the Alcantara steering wheel.

AMG C63
I am beginning to think these two cars are even on the track and it
depends on the driving style of the tester whom is testing the cars on the track.

It's hard to tell, this is a euro spec version car and the packages and extras are sold seperate. For instance you can order just the steering wheel or what I would like just the LSD. Anyway it surprised them that the C63 posted a quicker time at this type of track. To me it looks like it was filmed at one of our closed Air Force bases here in Germany.

And I agree with you 100%. Some cars are better suited for certain people due to their "driving style"

Having said that I still think in all other areas the AMG is a better car.
