We need AMG to do something with C63 or do something with coupe. I dont like loosing to M3. I think its our biggest rival. Maybe make limited amount like 190E Evo 2. Maybe call it like C63 Cup Car?

How about clc BS AMG 
Well I heard rumors that next one might be C class and seeing how 2 door C class is coming out soon who knows
Or maybe they'll rob us of that as well just like they robbed us of the SLK

CLK63 Black Series
Now that's an M3 right up my alley. Hopefully it will make it stateside, and if it does, I want it. In my opinion it will be competing with the new Porsche GT3, rather than the discontinued CLK BS. Price should be right around a GT3 as well, probably $110K.

The E92 m3 is a heavy beast to start with i doubt that with this gts they could have bring the weight down to low 3000lb range.
I would be suprised to see the weight drop to 3400lb. However unless this thing weighs below 3400 or 3300lb theres no way its gonna be better or as good as a GT3.
Can't wait to see one on the track...

I have my doubt that 0-60 of this car will improve siginificantly compared to normal M3.

As for suspension geometry, well this car's the equivalent of game over for AMG.
MikeS54-- Your doubts on weight loss are ill-founded , the GTS's official weight is 3285lbs. I'd say it's fair to say the GT3 RS has more than a fight on its hands. I'd also say that, while unimportant, 0-60 will be substantially improved. Shedding almost 500lbs tends to help with that.

They haven't published full specifications for the car yet, but the interview with various BMW personnel points to that (the desire for increased low-end torque) as being one of the objectives for this variation of the M3. Can't wait to see what the finished product will be capable of.

That's just below 100bhp/liter. The car itself is makes precisely 100bhp/NAliter. The specific output of your 6.2, now that's unimpressive.
As for suspension geometry, well this car's the equivalent of game over for AMG.

thats pretty good manage to lose more than 400lb
however a standard gt3 only way 3069lb still siginificantly less than GTS.
I just really doubt it will beat the GT3 overall but i bet its gonna come pretty close to it.

If the car makes it stateside those seats will not. The Euro SL65BS weighs 300lbs less than the US version just due to the safety regulated seating. Bye Bye 3285lbs
