"AMG C63 Dusts an M3..." Automobile magazine

I was in the pharmacy waiting for one of the many drugs I have to take
because of my bad back and I picked up the 2009 buyers guide for
Automobile Magazine and I looked up the 2009 C Class.
The magazine said that "the AMG C63 will dust a M3 in a straight line and keep up with it in the corners too"
I think that pretty much wraps up the M3 debate dont you guys?

AND if you CHIP a AMG its dead meat. you can do a whole chip exhaust mufflers and racing cats on a M3 and get another 12 horsepower.
You have to take the motor apart and add parts to get over 25 hp. Not much
left on the table with the M motor.

You chip the AMG and there is another 100 hp and 100 lbs of torque to
be had.

CHIP'ing a C63 can add 100 hp and tq? Holy crap, that's a lot for a N/A engine. It's usually turbo motors that get big increases from chips.

AFAIK, all 63s are n/a.

I believe 65s have a twin-turbo V12.

Yes
1) who says you need to go internal to gain 25hp on an M3? Sounds like benz colored glasses to me, no offense.

2) will any M3 driver step up to the fng plate already and race a C63 multiple times, switch drivers, and do it again? This needs to end already.

No no no, its a special switch in the glove compartment (you get the code from the dealer) please have then check your muffler bearing before you do.

Was the clove compartment optional because I only have room for oregano and chives?

If there is anyone in the Northern NJ area, I am game. I know off the line a C63 will spank me unless that individual gets a slippery start. The M is not a drag car, we all know this and those who think it is are The sheer hp and torque of the C63 give it the upper hand. The place to check it out is on a actual track. Most reviews give the M a very slight, and I mean VERY slight advantage through the twisties. But straight line sheer speed goes to the C63.

Ive driven both and Id STILL like to see this verified very simply. Will someone in North NJ/NY/PA take this guy up on his offer?

1 stock C63 vs 1 stock M3
3 runs from a stop
3 runs from a 40-xxx

Switch drivers. Repeat.

Add a camera and a some ladies for eye candy and youve got yourself the most downloaded video in MBWorld history.
