In the English M3 vs. C63 review, the reviewer said that the C63 absolutely dominated the M3 in terms of traction.

Here's the quote: "As far as grip, traction, and roadholding go, the winner wears a three-pointed star."

"While the BMW almost always lets go first at the rear, the C63 will in all likelihood not let go at all."

And that's the standard C63 that accomplished that grip. I imagine the e-diff in the C63 S is even better.

actually dont need to come to the auto show, the show cars are in edmonton already, in David Mirrors, One C63S and One AMG GT, want to have a try?

I'd love to go to David Morris to sit in one or try one, but I have no contacts there. So I doubt they'd let me sit in one etc.

Edit- Just called them and they already sent the car to the show. Although there's going to be a MB representative at the car show and it'll be there decision whether or not to let me sit in the car.

seems like I am too late...
anyway I do have some contacts there, I will call them to see if I can get a chance for us, will let u know.....

Well looks like they might let us sit in the car at the auto show if we have one on order, but we won't know for certain until it starts. Although if you do manage to get us a chance to see it at the dealership before it leaves to the next auto show we would be able to hear what it sounds like which would be awesome.

Bad News: In the car show, people may not allowed to sit in, however.....check your private message.....

Full Top Gear road test is up:

New Mercedes-AMG C63: the big road test



http://www.topgear.com/uk/photos/mer...est-2015-04-08

Generally, though, I came away with one thought: I'd rather have a C63 than a BMW M3. That's big news for me. But when you have a car that's subtle-but-good-looking, an absolute joy to drive quickly without scaring you witless, capable of carrying the family and putting the wind up a serious sports car, you know you've got a winner.

Bring on the head-to-head comparisons. I don't think Mercedes-AMG has much to worry about.

Damn, this is one of, if not the best review so far.

C63 (not C63 S) Head to head with M3

"Compared with the M3, the new C63 AMG is the more complete all-’rounder, creamier and more composed but dynamically just as awesome. If you want the smiles without the pain, the Mercedes is the one to reach out for."

Yeah, was over at bimmerpost and the same review is discussed over there -- with a different reception for sure.

Most of those guys don't like reading reviews that pick the C63 as they know it will be a lot more common now then it was in the past.

There are a few people who I agree with and those people believe that both cars are great in their own ways. AMG stepping up their game is better for the consumer as M must continue to improve.

Not everyone is obsessed with Nurburging times. Some people care about the sound and feel of a V8. When I test drove the M4 it was missing something. At the time I couldn't put my finger on it but it didn't exhilarate me. It is a beautiful machine but just not my first choice.

I have not driven the C63s but I feel confident based on all I have seen and read it will excite me much more.

I got beat down for posting up my review of the C63 on bimmerpost. LOLOLOL

I was going over my old posts (circa '08-'11) back when I had a 335i. Definitely a different group of car people on that forum

I'm excited for this one

If you stop the timer you can see it hits 160km/ph - 100 mph in just over 8 seconds. Now that's impressive

It also wasn't done on a straight road. You can see in the reflection he was turning.

I already can't wait for the premiere of season 2. The fact the the C63S is going to be on it is making the wait worse. Thats good it starts Friday.
