Came here to post the same vid. Matt Watson is tough for me to watch (just want to slap him with the stupid laugh all the time), but that aside, shame on them for such a hack job test
- incompetent drivers in the W205 and E90
- shot tires on the W205
- a clearly modded (and obviously tuned) w204
- M4 with shot brakes
What a waste of a potentially great lineup.

It is fairly infuriating that they do not include the mile per hour in the quarter mile tests. Carwow annoys me because they always have some fatal flaws in their testing.
Agreed the w204 seeems tuned, and they kneecapped the w205.

Really hope Carwow does a test with all pre-FL and FL versions of the C63S to see if there are differences

In C&D’s Lightning Lap test, the pre-FL 205 sedan was significantly faster on the long straight (148 mph) vs the FL coupe (138 mph) and they actually noted that in their article. Now is that attributable to sedan/coupe or pre-FL/FL is anybody’s guess
The W204 passed the C205 at 155 mph

on the other hand, the FL have that particulate filter in there. Obviously MB rates the hp the same as pre FL, but you can’t tell me that the filter in there isn’t zapping a couple of ponies.
