Most people that drive C63's will try anyone in any car. It is one of the most underrated cars on the road so its the underdog all the time. "It's just a C Class" Whether it wins or loses the driver is usually always smiling!
I love it when they see you in front or right on their bumper and you see how pissed they are!

This post is so stupid. If I pulled up next to a Murcielago I would still try pick a race just to hear the v12 scream.
You're obviously not much of an enthusiast if you wouldn't quickly follow after an M3 and C63 speeding down the highway, while driving an M5 lol

Corvette guy thinks his toy is the end all. i've seen plenty of Cs Es and Ss that walk all overVettes. As noted elsewhere, I cam close to buying a Stingray but the seats were so flimsy a sudden acceleration might bend them backwards and the inside was cheap. The rear end is like recycled Dixie Cups.

Z06 7:49
C63BS 7:46 (hmmm faster, what is the $$$ difference?)
E63S 7:55 (>1000 lbs heavier and yet 6 sec in 13 miles)
C63 8:01 (only 2.5% slower but 25% heavier, less power/torque, smaller tires, auto vs manual, etc.)
seems like the Z06 is UNDER-performing? no?

Is this guy serious? GM put a Z06 around the "Ring in 7.22. What an embarassing post.

I see you're local to the Bay Area- did you bring your 458 or SLS Black to Cars & Coffee in Danville yesterday? There was a white SLS Black this time and there is always a handful of 458s...

No I was in Newport Beach and didn't make that one. My SLS is black.
Here is a vid shot a while ago of my car at the Cars and Coffee in Danville.

i'll pick a fight with anyone in the amg. it's all fun.
unless it's a ****ty car, then i won't even bother. no sense getting arrested racing a civic.
and who cares if the z06 is faster around the track, how many people can say they own a 458?
i'll wait.

On the track, the C6 Z06 might run a similar time, but feels like **** compared to a 458. 458 is the most direct car I've ever felt and nothing I've owned or driven compares...

How does 458 get "dismantled" on a track by a C6 Z06? I've owned both cars, if you are speaking about lap times, they run similar lap times. Talking about straightline, stock for stock, the 458 rapes the C6 Z06. I know because I've tested it many times.

What would I rather have? 458 all day. But at 20, all I can afford is a used ZR1, so that's what I'm going to get. It's a better value when we're talking performance.
*edit*
Sorry, motortrend said the Z06 was "more than a second faster" than the Ferrari. Maybe not dismantled, but the 'Ring times are frankly embarassing for the 458.

It's about 6 seconds slower than the Z06 on 'Ring. Pretty sure Pobst was like 2 seconds faster in the Z06 than the 458 at Laguna Seca. Let's not even bring the ZR1 into the competition LOL

But to be honest these times don't mean anything. The likelihood of you getting these times is slim to nothing. For me when on the track, there was no better street car I've been in that felt like a 458. I can probably get better laptimes in my 458 than I can in a ZR1 just because it inspires a lot of confidence. So at the end of the day its all about what weapon you can use more accurately.
