For the C63 the 4matic is off the table completely.

Found 2 good videos, on the C63s driving on the Track. I found these 2 videos to be way more helpful,Then any media review including Chris Harris. These Video Gives a better approach on how the car drive on the track without trying to drift the car. Videos shows how Neutral the car feel on the track with the right Driver. To me the car is showing great balance under braking and Acceleration. Even when the Race Driver "who's name i don't know" has the Traction fully off. The car shows a great deal of traction which he is able to manage with throttle response. The Video is not in English, But the C63s does a great Job Translating it to any language
.
When I watched Chris Harris videos I had some doubts. Never mind I not had A LOT of doubts about the car because he barely covered how it drove on the track under race conditions. All he does or did is Drift Drift Drift which tell you **** about the car. Glad I found these links. Though I share them and hopefully they help other with their Doubts or decision on the Car.

Haha! It's all good. I don't expect everyone to like my review. I just figured it's a non biased review. I appreciate the BMW & Audi Brands. They are both strong competition to the AMG vehicles. In sales I have learned never to knock the competition. Rather say what they do well; we do a lot better.

Never say never, a few years ago BMW swore that that no M car's will be turbo. Every car they sell today is a turbo...
You never give the first model 100% of what you have, you add awd down the line to stretch the product life cycle. This car will be around for 6-8 years and MB will keep on adding hp, awd, features to stay current.

The difference was pretty evident, with the track, the longer hood, the slits, etc... I think it looked a lot meaner. Some say overstyled, but it was part of its charm I think. It looked more badass or juvenile compared to the W205, which looks understated.
I will have to see it in person, but I find it lacking , not as imposing as previous C63s.

I have heard and read a lot about the exhaust sound not being as good as the w204. JPMBenz has been saying all along "just wait and see".

Whatever dude, the difference was subtle... just like they are now with the W205.
The length of the hood doesn't have to be that much different now because they are only trying to squeeze in a 4.0 instead of a 6.2. But that's about the only spec that the W204 AMG variant has changed more than the W205 AMG variant.
That is pretty much the AMG formula. Drop in a bad @ss engine, suspension changes, and subtle interior/exterior changes.

W204 C63 had a longer hood... W205 c63 is a longer car
W204 C63 front bumper barely changed from the regular C 350. W205 has a whole different bumper.
Both have different hoods, both are wider in the front than the entry level but the same in back.
When you compare them to what changed between the entry level and the C63 the W205 seems to have more of a change lol
Edit: **** quoted the wrong person lol

Talked to my dealership a week ago and they said that the production date for my car still is March 11th, and the planned delivery date is April 24th. (1 day earlier then before). Going to contact them again March 11th to ask them for weekly updates.

The w204 c class to c63 changed less than the w205 c class to c63. If you have a 507 that's a different story. You have stripes and hood vents too.

AMGs have always been about subtle looks and blatant performance.
