Which should I buy? C63, e55, or e63?

I'm looking to get a used sedan for a little more practicality. I currently have a Z06 corvette and I still want to keep as much of the speed and sports car feel as I can. I'm looking at the 06 e55, the 2007-2008 c63, and the 2007-2008 e63. And I'm seeing some conflicting reports about speed and power and didn't know If someone could help me make my decision. I'm a single guy going to grad school no family. I want something that's nice and has options like navigation ect. but I don't mind losing some comfort for speed and handling.
If anyone could help me out that would be great!
Thanks!

C63 is sportier than the E's.

my wife bananas! :D
The 08 C63 is the only one of the three that are of the current generation. The e class will go through a remodel in a 2-3 years. you'll be looking at a 2 gen old car whereas when the C changes in 2014, you'll have a 1 gen old car.

tech, styling creature comforts have all improved....

If you are looking to keep the "sports car feel", then you would want to go with the c63.. It's going to feel the most sporty, out of the three.
