Damn I did a stupid thing today!!!!

Well today I drove a C63.
Jeremy Clarkson of TOP GEAR called it an absolute animal and an Axe Murderer with headlights. TRUE, TRUE all TRUE!!!!

I absolutely ADORE IT. It is with out doubt the best sounding car I have ever heard. The 7 speed auto blips the throttle on the down shifts. No drone at cruising speed but open the throttle and it roars and belows to the whole world. I would buy the car for the sound alone. No wonder the gas mileage is so poor on these things. You drive it in manual mode and keep it on the revs just to hear the sound from the exhaust. We drove it for 30 minutes and I never went near the switch to turn on the stereo.
It was FANTASTIC in every way, ride, braking, seats, performance, handling.
TOTAL HOME RUN by AMG and Mercedes!!!

yeah, every time i hear a c63 drive off, my knees get a little weak. If you just want sound, chop your monstrous resonator on the 55 and it sounds super sick too!!

I test drove an S63 at my dealership this past thursday. Oh man you are not kidding about the sound of that 6.2L engine. That thing is a beast! Makes the 5.4L engine sound wimpy.
