Default does the c63 have what it takes to...

Does the C63 have what it takes to change the minds of any M3 lovers out there, I am on the fence, but my co-worker says no way in hell, so i thought i would ask dragva. 6.3-litre V8
457-hp (@ da crank)
443 lb-ft.
zero to 62 mph in 4.5 seconds
source http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do...ticleId=121540



4.0-liter
414-hp (@ da crank)
295 lbs-ft
zero to 60 in 4.6

Oh and if this thread has already been started, then trash my thread and try to make me feel like shit. I enjoy knowing someone else has nothing else better to do than read every damn thread posted, and remember them so that can type repost, WTF anyway sorry if its already out there.

Isn't it priced out of the M3s range?

Sorry but I'm not going to spend $70k for a C-Class with a detuned engine in it and have it be worth maybe $35k in two years.

Honestly, I like to Total Care too much to drive anything other than BMW, and I think the M3 is a much better built machine than the C63. It looks good, as do all AMG vehicles, but MB's lack of a program like TCM breaks their deal.

I agree. I like the MB much better. I've driven lots of BMWs and MBs, and I've always liked the MBs better. But everyone has their taste. I wouldn't buy an MB new because of the depreciation, but 2 years old still under warranty and certified for 1/2 price and it's a no brainer.

As far as being de-tuned, a simple reflash can fix most of that.

/\/\ How do you like your MB



BMW M3 all the way. There is a difference between race inspired and race style, and I think the Mercedes is just not the full package.

It's all in what you want I guess. I think both cars do certain things better than the other. The M3 is a better track car, but the C63 would be a better daily cruiser.

I assume you are talking about my Mercedes Benz Crossfire AMG???
