c63 coupe vs cts-v coupe
 

Anyone else deciding between the two?

C63 pros:
-looks better, very photogenic
-smaller, better visibility, should be easier to maneuver in traffic
-it's a MB

Cts-v pros:
- 100 more hp and torque
- yet 10k cheaper when both loaded
- interior is much nicer (subjective)

Of course get the 63 bro, its Mercedes! Cadillac is just a cadillac..

I think the new c63 interior is much nicer btw..

cts-v coupe is ugly...not worth 10k or 100hp get the sedan

If you are going to modify it buy a CTS-V. They are very hard to beat after spending 10-15k. You will have a 600rwhp car.

If I had the choice between the 2 id get the C63 coupe, because the CTS-V coupe is just too damn ugly.

If I had a choice between the C63 coupe and a CTS-V sedan, I would get the sedan. Looks better, alot more power then the C63 and it costs less.

Both are great cars. I can only compare my 2011 C63 P31 sedan to my brothers 2011 CTS-V Sedan. I test drove a coupe and its very similar

Also unless you have a tune or buy a P31 package the CTS-V will beat the C63 pretty badly.

The 2012 interior on the C63 is WAY nicer than the CTS-V in my opinion. In my view, all of which is subjective, is that the C63 is the better looking car, nicer interior but maybe a tad slower. I would say C63 (which is what I will be doing myself shortly).

CTS coupe looks so fat and ugly, the space where the two backdoors are deleted looks so empty and fill with a huge sheet of metal.

I drove both an M5 and CTS-V before I bought my C63. I loved the fit and finish of the amg even though it was the most underpowered of the group. If I wanted to mod the hell out of a car, the V would have been it, but I wasn't comfortable spending 50K on a caddy. Plus, Ive had my fun spending 40k on mods alone...just got out of a 1000hp Z06 and wanted something I could drive all day, every day. I don't regret my choice one bit (well, except for the fact that finding a set of wheels for the car is impossible bc of the terrible offsets)

Both great cars...you can't go wrong. Caddy carries maybe 300 more pounds but has more hp. Great suspension on the caddy also. I'd go with the C63 because I like the smaller size, the better seats, and the engine technology and the transmission.

Both are great but i would take the C63 no matter what.

Wrong question in this forum..:crazy:

but if you must know. I think the cadillac is crap. The C63 by far is a superior car:)

I think the minimal difference in performance (yes, it has 100 hp more but according to fastestlaps.com 0-200 kph difference to a non-p31 is 0,5 secs), is long outweighed by interior quality exterior looks, at least with the 2012 regarding interior.

Of course it's debatable whether or not 0,5 secs is a lot on a 0-200 run, but for me it's not worth getting a CTS-V all things considering.

How do the P31's and the CTS-V's do against each other in some roll type races? Does it depend on the speed you go from?

Just asking generally, here.

I doubt it was manditory to the OP to receive your opinion. :D :rolf:

I think it will be close.
The fastest time from 60-130 for a completely stock cts-v is 9.42 (sedan, manual)
I ran 9.79 from 60-130
I believe the CTS-V is on the east coast so assuming 93 octane and colder weather at its advantage.

My friends modded M3 ran one and lost by a bit, when I ran him seemed like he lost by a bit more than the CTS-V.

So I think they are very close. Im going to try and have a friend drive my car C63 P31 sedan auto and Ill drive my brothers CTS-V sedan auto. Would love to get it on camera.

For modding? CTS-V all the way.

Stock for stock performance? CTS-V also is faster/quicker from all speeds UNLESS you have the new C AMG with performance package. Then it should be closer.

Depends if you like Mercedes or Cadillac better. Here, it's a no brainer.

Oh my gosh, that would be a really cool race. :y If you ever do the runs, please let us know how it goes.

Are you saying that the MCT will make that big of a difference? Otherwise I'm not sure I'm following because what other differences are there in the powertrain that would make things "closer?"

I strongly wouldnt advice him to consider yours either. :rolf:

It's just a matter of understanding the definition of words that you use in sentences. For example, when you use the word "must" it has a "mandatory" effect.

Joke is on you.

Unless your only priority is drag racing, how can a Caddy be better than an AMG Benz? To me, it's like comparing a Corvette with a 911.

dont be fooled. The CTS-V is nice, nicer than my 2011 C63. The interior is nicer, has leather on the dash, which is such crap our cars dont.

The only complaints I have heard are of some rattling, and loose seats, and sunroof cars get wind noise and rattles over time. Some never experience it and some do quickly. So far my bros car is perfect. But ive seen complain from rattling on our dash board on this forum as well.

1 thing is for sure, our exhausts sounds better :) but once you throw and intake and exhaust on the V the blower whine gets louder and sounds amazing!!!! and its faster once modded and cheaper to mod.

The no chrome on the caddy is a huge improvement. I really like the sedan.

Hmmm...tough call on that one...
