2013 C63 AMG Black Series or 2013 SL63 AMG?

Which one do you think is better overall?
I might cancel the 2013 C63 black series
and get the 2013 SL63 AMG

C63
That would be hard to choose.

IMO, you will be finding a lot of SL63 2013 around soon. Yet the C63 BS will be manufactured with a limit number and it's rare.

A C63 BS is powered by a 6.3 liter V8 engine that delivers a total of 510 HP and a peak torque of 457 lb-ft.

An SL63 20132 is twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter M157 V8, good for 530HP and 593 lb/ft of torque, 557HP and 664 lb/ft with PP.

Both will be having around the same 0-60 results ( 4.1-4.2 sec ).

Weistec are considering bigger turbos for the M157, So

BTW will it be there a 2013 C63 BS ?

I really can't choose !!

Go for c63BS if you like: better looks, better handling, and more exclusivity.
Choose the sl63 if your like more power, better amenities and the wind in your hair on a nice summer evening.

I would go for the C63 BS for one reason

you can always get a SL63 when you are bored with the C63 BS. Might be alot harder the other way around... you will be buying a used c63 bs vs ordering a new SL whenever you want

I feel like the SL will be a much more liveable car where the BS seems pretty focused. Depends how often you'll be driving it I guess. Daily Driver=SL, weekend car=BS

A tune on m157 == m156 + 20k on mods..

But I like how the c63 black series looks better.. I thought 2012 was the only year for c63 black?

Bro I already told you, we had much fun with the M156 and you already have the M159 SLS. time to get the new SL63 with M157. C63 BS is a super car, but I feel the new SL is more powerful and is more exotic.

I would also go for the c63 black series since you already have one hell of a monster in your garage already. Also as Fung63 stated, you can always get the SL.

You guys have already 3 different 6.3 V8 cars. Get the SL. Plus you seem to be into roll racing rather than tracking so C63 won't be a good choice for that.

If it's roll racing your into I say none of the above. I know the perfect weapon and they will never see it coming. Just going.

The SL63 is a better car in everyway

Plus with a tune you can be the first SL63 in the 10s

SL63 all day, everyday

SL all the way. It's just way more exotic than a C class.

SL63 for sure.

Then call up AMS and get 555hp and 700lb/ft at the wheels from just a flash.

pfft. Gurly man numbers. Seeing as your budget is clearly not an issue why not get something completely different? Something with say over 1000hp and 2200-2300ftlbs of twist. All for less then 80 grand.

Depends what you want them for... The black series looks cool and is exclusive, but it's not necessarily a "better car" than the base C63. It's a bit more track worthy, but I think it's silly to buy a Mercedes as a track car since they are all terrible track cars.

On another note, the C63BS will -without doubt- depreciate much slower than most new Mercedes.
