Rock can you give us some perspective on the speed of the car? I know you havent owned a C63 but own a CLS which is arguably faster so maybe you can do some comparos including handling, 0-100 runs, lane change bursts, etc. From what Ive "read" the RS5 has medium understeer and requires an aggressive foot to get the most out of the car not unlike the old M5's and M6's with v10 engines.
As to the differences between the C63 and RS5, my butt tells me that the C63 is a much more raw experience and will accelerate faster but I think the RS5 is a much easier car to drive fast. The C63 was fun but it took a lot of concentration when pushing it hard. I would bet that the fast lap times of the RS5 are not the result of what it does in a straight line but how fast and easy it is to drive through and out of transitions. Both are great cars but offer completely different styles.
