2021 Mercedes C63s AMG Coupe
It says 10.88 in the table below. Dunno I remember them saying they ran a 10.6 with turbos.

I dont want to sound like a jerk but this thread is ridiculous. Who cares if your friends m5 is faster? Like everyone’s saying, there will always be faster cars. Why try to beat your friends m5? The c63S sounds better, looks better, is more fun to drive, and is overall in my opinion a better car. Faster, maybe not but it doesn’t matter. I have an f10 m5 and have driven the f90. Ill take the C63S all day every day over both

I have both a F90 M5 and a 2019 C63S coupe. The M5 is definitely faster in almost every situation, but the two cars excel at different things. Left in normal AWD mode, the M5 is a super fast sport sedan that can be rewarding to drive but also behaves like a proper sedan on long highway trips. I just got back from an 8 hour roundtrip in it. There's no hiding it's a big car, but it seems to drive smaller than it is most of the time. It's extremely quiet and quite the sleeper when people miss the badges and mistake it for a normal 5 series.
The C63S loves to rotate into corners and sounds fantastic. It does have some traction issues, but that adds to the character once you get comfortable with how it's going to respond to throttle. It certainly doesn't look like a normal C coupe and people seem to really think it's something special. I traded in a Jaguar F-Type R for it, and the build quality is so much better! Maybe its the point of reference, but it seems so much more solid.
The surprising thing for me about the M5 has been just how fast it always seems. The transmission is quick and really smooth. You don't catch it on its heels like you can the one in the C63S. I also happen to have a new NSX that I drive as often as I can. It goes around a corner like nothing I've ever driven, but the M5 still feels like it out accelerates it in a straight line. The bottom line is that every car has pluses and minuses but losing a drag race isn't really one of them in my book.

This thread makes me laugh. Although it’s reminded me how much the F10 M5s have fallen in price...2016 CPO under 15k miles for less than $60k...
hmmmmmmmm...
hmmmmmmmm...
