W212 E63 vs W205 C63 Cabrio

Had a friendly chat with a fellow MB fanatic, and he claims the W205 C63 is quicker than our W212 E63. Apparently same 1/4 times, even with the C63 traction issues, so he thinks the C63 cab would pull on the W212 E63 by a few inches in a roll race. Anyone have experience?

I recall that c63 owners with slicks were pulling 11.5-11.8 in the 1/4 and without the parasitic losses of AWD it'll pull on the awd e63S in a roll race .... stock vs stock

A roll race would probably go to the person that got the jump. They’re pretty evenly matched.

MB’s of all kinds.
Both have AWD. I would say the C63. Newer Trans. But the soft top is HEAVY

C63 is RWD. Maybe the 2020 will go AWD, but as of today, all C class AMG cars are RWD.
