My friend Brought over his Ferrari today so we could detail it and go for a Saturday cruise. The ferrari has a Tubi Exhaust system, Carbon airbox, Carbon fiber Interior trim, Racing HAMMAN wheels, and Springs. The sound of the 360 with the Tubi exhuast is intoxicating, Sounds insane at high RPM's on the FWY. Its an absolute blast to drive.
Anyway....Here are some pics.
Enjoy.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing.

How much faster is the C63 in a straight line, though?

The C63 has way too much torque compared to the Ferrari. The 63 will pull hard on the ferrari from a stand still. From a rolling start (Say 3rd gear) Its close, but the C63 still pulls passed the Ferrari.
The good thing about the Ferrari is the sound *drool* it sounds tooo sick. The tubi exhaust made a huge difference.
I favor the 360 modena sound over the F430. It Has more of a high pitched scream.

I do love the 360 but the lack of torque is astounding....

Wow, you guys must turn heads... cruisin with style for sure.

Nice set! Silver is KING. Always emphasizes the cars lines...

The Ferrari did most of the head turning lolll.

_AMG_

Thank you. The silver really does show the cars curves.

The 360 is a great car. 1st and 2nd gear has no power, But it really hauls *** after 3rd-4th gear.

patboyy

very good combo!!!!

Fantastic cars! But I have a question for everyone. Why when people post pictures of their cars do they block out the license plate ????? Don't you drive down the street everyday with the car & plate displayed? I am not trying to be a smart a$$. I have always wonder what is the point.

Beautiful cars, great pictures. Very cool.

Why would you want the whole entire world (via the Internet) to see your license plate # ? And, yes, my front vanity euro plate says "sflagator" lol (but at least that's not registered and cannot be traced directly back to me)! It's different when you're just driving around in your area, but when you post a pic on an online public Forum such as this, everyone can see it. It's done for safety and privacy precautions.

Mort

Great looking cars! Thanks for the pics. Hope you had a great cruise.

If you are worried about plate #s you might want to edit the first pic.

Great pics here. I love the silver on both cars. I havnt driven the C63 yet so I cant really talk but I have driven the 360 many times and wow its amazing in all ways. As far as people say no torque in 1rst and 2nd. That is true yes but do keep in mind the 360 can still go 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds....They must of done something right

C280 Sport

Right on

In all honesty, i have more fun driving the C63 then the Ferrari. Dont get me wrong the Ferrari is a very fun car to drive. but i just love the hooliganism you can do in a C63 .
The Ferrari gets too much attention while driving around, And that's not necessarily a good thing, people will either give you a thumbs up or give you dirty looks.
Either way, both are great cars.

I saw the Top Gear clip where they drove the C63 and it looked like one hell of a drive. I bet its amazing on the track. Yes agree the Ferrari gets way too much attention and people will take pics and all of that. I live in a small town in upstate, NY and I made the mistake of driving the 2004 Maserati downtown and people just played 20 questions with you because they never see cars like that.

yazid

hey dude.. i'm sure that was a fun time rolling with the prancing horse.. agree with you on the "hooliganism" acts on the C63! love seeing those mid/rear engines through windows of these cars..

jvanbrecht

I don't believe you had a real Ferrari... That one is an inflatable pool toy (okay.. kidding.. but the hood does look like it belongs on a pool toy with the reflection from the ceiling)


Also.. the wide angle lens photos, just don't quite look right, kinda like stretchovision on HD channels where the broadcaster decides to change the aspect of a non wide angle show into wide angle and then broadcast.. kinda like everything on TNT in the US

_AMG_

Haha ya i know what you mean, i was kinda experimenting with the wide angle. It has that "right on your face" look.

Jean Valjean

I would completely concur with this. The comparison:MyC63 AMG has 451 bhp, 443 lb/ft torque, 0-60 approx 4.3 sec, top speed 155 limited, my F355 380 bhp, 268 lb/ft torque, 0-60 appror 4.6 sec, top speed 185. However, the Ferrari Redlines at 8500 rpm (similar to an NSX) and has a serious F1 like Banshee wail past 5000 rpms, that screams like no other street car in this world! The C63 has a powerful muscle car "roar" that has seemingly no lack of power in any gear. They are very different machines, but both are out of this world.

_AMG_

I agree with you as well, the F355 is one of the BEST sounding Ferrari's ive heard heard in my life. I think it sounds soo good because they used 5 valves per cylander.

Jean Valjean

Yep, F355, 360 Modena (including Challenge Stradale), and F50 are the only F-cars to use the 5 valves per cylinder. These 3 cars are arguably 3 of the best sounding/ driving F-cars of all time!

However, something has to be said about the sound of the C63. Car and Driver rated it as one of it's 10 best sounding motors. It does indeed roar when you stand on the throttle! The power is much easier to harness then the F355, yet it has all the creature comforts of any luxury sedan, the small enough size to be nimble (I've heard tracking an E63 or M5 is just silly).

_AMG_

The 63 really does roar. Thats what i love about it. Its practical enough for everyday but still has enough power to hang with some of the best cars out there.

Everytime i get reminded about the F355 i watch this video. They really did get it right with the F355.
