E63 1st place-Feb.Car and Driver
February issue just came in today...Same cars tested as in the other thread;'07 E63 AMG,BMW M5,Audi S6 but with a different outcome.Figured I'd post it up for everyone
E63
0-60:4.2
0-100:9.7
0-150:23.3
1/4:12.6@115
M5(6sp man. not SMG)
0-60:4.7
0-100:10.3
0-150:23.4
1/4:13.0@114
S6
0-60:5.4
0-100:12.7
0-150:33.0
1/4:13.8@104
M5's DSC with the long awaited 6-sp manual destroys it's times by being way to intrusive.A full .5sec slower in the 1/4.Oh well

Something on 4 wheels..
Oh yeah, that DSC-thing on the M5. So many buyers waited for the 6-speed and didn't get the SMG just to find out that they can't turn it off on their new and "sportier" manual...
Life can be hard....funny though that this test is totally different than the other one - that's why I consider these reviews a "sharing of personal opinion" - nothing more and nothing less...

2010 RRS ; BMW K1200R; 14 E350 ; 14 RRS on order
Don't get me wrong I like the car but the next RS6 will most likely be the one to compare. Technologuy wise the audi has both their hands tied behind their backs, but performance and luxuary and wow-factors (or as borat would say it pu$$y-magnet) the E63 wins hands down. Or in my case the CLS63.
