CLS63 AMG & C63 Cab
What exactly happened? That is good that they are buying it back, but it will probably be bandaged up and resold again to another unsuspecting buyer anyway.

Go for a E63 and ball on down the road. They are giving those things away.

M5s are wicked in their own right but they have nowhere near the low end/midrange we do.
Agreed! NOW, I would take a 08' 6 speed M5! The CTS-V is a car you must test drive! Good luck with the hunt...

09' C63 AMG
Cant got wrong with the M3, its def a great car with room for plenty of tunning , I always wanted a hard top convertable so I like the drop top version

Good luck, better tune quick before you get toasted by a C63
How much would that suck?

Coupe or Sedan?
Stick or DCT?
Color?

About as much as getting toasted by a CTS-V,.... while driving a C63!

CLS55 AMG & RRS S/C
that wifi option is cool!
wheres the AMG version? hehe

anyways arent the stock 1/4 mile times of the C63 and the CTS-V almost the same?
i would have thought it would be much faster given the 100hp advantage.
that thing is gonna be a beast after a few mods though.

'08 Coupe, Space Gray, Stick...

Can't compare to the C63 down low, but it's a lot of fun to drive. Loving the stick. I've never owned a stick before...but I have driven many. I must say that having a powerful car with a stick is amazing. Wish the C63 would come with it after driving this car.

You got yourself a nice car Big. My earlier post was just a friendly jab since I just got a CTS-V after a year of drooling over the prospect of owning a new C63. Initially, I caught some heat from the fellas, especially DaGS1800. But after reading through your drama, I think we all can understand you selection. Good luck ma man!

I too wished the C63 had a manual option,... my decision might have been much different. But so far, I'm having tons of fun with the V, which is also a manual 6 speed. In my mind, I'm getting the best of both worlds,... the grunt of the C63 and the ability to dance in the twisties like the M3. Can't do better than that in our class of cars. The more wheel time I spend with this thing, the more it becomes painfully clear that the V has this uncanny ability to stay planted. Amazing for a car of it's weight and 54/46 balance.

Congrats on the ownership of your new M3.. No hate from me it's a nice car even if it isn't a C63.
