C63 preferred over M3

Nice to see on a non-bias Ferrari forum that the C63 is preffered over the M3 and maybe even an F430 great car!!!

my wife bananas! :D
nice read. They pointed out many of the reasons I fell in love with the C63. Monstrous power, great sound and looks like an average sedan (I'm a sucker for 4 door sedans that go voom voom!)

I like the fact that the majority of the drivers on the road will have no idea what the C63 is.

I've been tempted to trade my C63 in for a GT-R on more than a few occasions this year. But everytime I start the engine...and the thought quickly disappears. If this M156 isn't the most brutal and beautiful V8 in the world...I don't know what is...it really is the last of dying breed as far as big block NA V8s are concerned.

This really is one of the absolute best 4 door sports cars that money can buy.

Many good points in that thread are the reasons why I chose the C63 over a M3.

I thought it was generally recognised as the M3 handling better. I would have thought most Ferrari drivers would have preferred a M3 based on that but they seemed more rapt with the AMG V8 6.2L engine over the M3's

I am coming from three prior M3s (a 2008 E90, a 2009 E93, and a 2011 E93) and I can honestly say my C63 is hands down better in every single category. I am hooked.

well put.

i recently converted from ///M to ///AMG myself.

went with the new 5.5L biturbo but was really tempted to save 40k and go with a 2010 e63 or cls with the N/A 6.2L. theres something about N/A engines. (coming from the V10 e60 M5)

oh well....
