C63 AMG S vs. Porsche 911 Carrera S

I am soon getting my first car of this type. I am torn apart the 2015 C63 AMG S, or the Porsche Carrera S.

Since I have around 100k to spend, either one is within range. Although I want a car to have great handling and speed, I also want it to have great looks, an amazing sound and it to be a p*ssy magnet. I also want to have space for friends to drive around with, which makes the C63 an attraction. However, though, I personally feel like the Porsche 911 (or any Porsche for that matter) has more status and feels more imposing on the road than a Mercedes-Benz.

I am thinking of getting one of the following cars:

C63 AMG
CLS63 AMG
Porsche 911 Carrera S
Porsche Panamera 4 Edition

Which one do you think would suit best for a young man that wants to have a lot of fun behind the wheel, with space for friends, girls, and an imposing, eye-catching status on the road?

I am in love with black rims, black interior and either silver or black paintjob. Tinted windows are also a must for me, what do you think would be best?

Thank you

Go for the porsche. It is a step above in quality, finish, driving experience. This is reflected in the price difference. Merc's pluses are more seats and a bit faster in a straight line. Would trade my w204 coupe for a cayman s/gts in a heart beat after testdriving it. C63 sounds like...well you know how it sounds. Porsche sounds like you're in a jet plane.

Have to agree. if it's only one car, get a 911 - or do both ;-)
if you need passengers, then it has to be a 4 door. (you can forget about the rear seat in a 991S

Carrera S was one of the cars I checked out as well but after building it the way I wanted it it was 30 grand more then the C63s. Now I'm left with some pocket change for mods
I'm a big Porsche fan but it will have to wait

Sorry, but if you're relying on a car to get girls, then you're doing something wrong.

At any rate, the 4 doors is going to be a better bet if you're looking to lug friends around.

None, if you're buying a car for status, Go throw that 100grand into a wood burning fire place..I'm serious.

Waste of $$ ...2-3 years will go buy and all those "friends" won't be hangin around anymore and youre going to feel like one hell of a dumbass

Buy a nice used car for a few years, (a w204) wait till these W205's drop 30-40k in price..then buy one.

P.S girls don't even know what a mercedes is..they think it's a beamer

I am a true fan of all that is AMG.

But... I am a Porschaphile at heart.

Can't go wrong with the 911. I still miss mine, that was almost 15 years ago!

To the left, you can see I currently have a 2014 ML350. Yes, I am going to trade it in for a car such as a CLS63, or another SUV such as the GL63, although I am most definitely going for a sedan this time. So, that would be a CLS63 or a Panamera 4 Edition. There is an abundance of Panameras around where I live, it doesn't feel imposing. However I'd be the only one driving around in a CLS 63!! Plus, for the price I get much more power under the hood for it. So that's what I'm leaning for right now..

Then, I would get something else which I mentioned previously: the C63 AMG S or the Porsche 911. I need something that I can drag friends around with it, but the 911 is complete **** for the rear seats. But I'm not sure if the C63 is imposing as much as the 911. If I got the CLS, I could get a Panamera but that would just not feel right (110k for a Panamera gives me much less compared to the CLS63). That's why for this second car I'm considering the Lexus RC-F which seems like it has more generous space in the back (even though I don't like Lexus), or I could get a BMW M4 or M3, but to me they don't look special at all. Maybe an Audi RS5 could get the job done too.

Or, I could go Panamera GTS for the first car, and "skimp out" on this one with a CLA45. The possibilities are infinite. What do you all say about this?

you seem to be awfully confused! 911 and C63s couldnt be more different. If you already have 4 doors to haul women, then get the 911. Like Loius Vuitton or comparable brands, most girls know only ferraris or lambos. Porsches are for poor people according to them (jk)

I didn't think P-magnets existed anymore. lol If so, I say go for the 911 or even the new vette. You even may be looking for a convertible if it really matters. In my opinion, the C63S is not the car and may be more of a d-magnet as only guys will really know what this car is about. lol

I couldn't have said it better myself. I think the Corvette is kind of underrated spec wise and overrated looks wise. I just don't feel like to the right car for me. I feel convertibles are complete **** especially if they're a soft top. if it was a hard top I might even consider it reluctantly. no, I don't like the SL or SLK classes. but for the C63 part, I couldn't agree more. the AMGs just don't have that super sporty style that the RS Audis have -- where you can really tell they're fast and cool lol. in my opinion, the AMGs usually look more like the S Audis which are more subtle with their looks, which even applies to the BMW M to an extent. I'm still torn though. what else has as much attention as the 911, but has actual rear seats? that's the reason I keep considering the C63 AMG S, because I can't quite find something else that matches those terms. help!!

how about the BMW M3 and M4? how do they compare to the 911 performance wise and status wise?

thanks for the Aston Martin suggestion, I'll look into it.

What is the C63 doing on this list? Try a Maserati GT

Ok, here's what I have so far:

For that first, "bigger" car, I have my mind very set on the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG S. Black on black with black rims. Beauty.

Now, for the second car, I am torn in between getting a sedan or a coupé.
These are the cars in my mind so far, help me get rid of some and narrow down my thoughts
Sedans:
Porsche Panamera S
BMW M3
BMW M5
Maserati Ghibli SQ4
Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG S
Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG

Coupé:
Porsche 911 Carrera S
Audi RS5
BMW M4
Lexus RC-F
Maserati GranTurismo
Aston Martin V8 Vantage

Again, I want a car that is eye-catching, and that has relatively space for people to lug around with. Performance is also a very important factor for me, and so is interior quality.

I do not want a Carrera 4S because there is no need for the AWD for me, I live in Miami, FL and it would just cost me more. An RS5, with the Quattro is attractive to me because it is flashy, seems like it has great performance and very good interior. I tend to have a bias toward German cars, which is why I'd rather have an M4 or whichever car rather than a Lexus RC-F. It is in fact complicated. How can I narrow this down?

Subscribing to this thread for the lulz.

Either you guys are getting trolled super hardcore or this kid is really confused.

Fancy cars are not "P-magnets", they are magnets for women who wan't nothing but your money. You might hit it but it will cost you. So be prepared to buy her things if you do find what you're looking for.

As for the C63S vs Porsche.... get a Porsche, you'll feel "cool" and you will get a thumbs up from gray-haired men in their 60's. The C63 is a car you have to explain to people. It doesn't scream "I will pay for sex".
