I think the E55 has a clear engine advantage to pull hard up top but the C63 has a gearing advantage with 2 extra gears on hand. I think we need to see video as the C63 could be surprising while the E55 is a proven freight train.

Max has proven that he can hang with modded M5's up to and around 130 mph and then its lights out

It's always nice to know what's faster - but who cares since there is really nowhere you can actually put this kind of speed to any sort of practical use without the risk of getting thrown in jail.
