Re: Car & Driver: RS4 vs C63 vs M3

I find it so hilariously funny that the C63 AMG, being a Mercedes is the most uncomfortable of the three.

That 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds is INSANE!!!

Re: Car & Driver: RS4 vs C63 vs M3

OMG that car is shit fast..
i really want to see some lap times..cause on some laps it will give the M3 problems i belive..
and with the sportspackage.. hmm shit gets even closer..

I like the part when he says:

n the end, we found the C63 to offer the most special experience in this highly desirable trio, but as the days wore on, we became slightly less enamored with the Mercedes’ aggressive behavior and looks—the creases, the bulges, the vents, and the gaping front fascia could almost pass as an aftermarket job in this tasteful group. But if you like to be seen, heard, and talked about, the C63 is your Lamborghini of sports sedans.

Most special
The looks are for each one to decide.. so i dont care what he thinks

Every reviews says the C63 has the stiffest suspension. I wonder why MB decided to do this?
They had to because its the heaviest by some margin if they wanted to compete. Weight is the worst evil a car can have.

I'm sure that the C55 had a lane change speed of 66.4mph, because I have the actual C&D issue that tested the C55. When you look at the "handling" numbers that the C55 generates (from all magazines), it really isn't as bad as many people think. That's why an average driver like myself can keep up with cars like the E46 M3/Cayman S on a track. What the C55 lost out on is the "driving feel", the inability to completely disable ESP for pro drivers driving on a track, and the automatic transmission which dulled the experience.

But now I'm going off topic......

Re: Car & Driver: RS4 vs C63 vs M3

Great test
Well, ths just shows how great these 3 are. Sometimes the RS4 wins, sometimes the C63 and now the M3 got the gold. As stated "although no driver in this test directed an unkind word at the RS 4..." And stil it finished in 3rd. In anyway, you can't say any of these is a bad car. In fact, I still am surprised how well this old daddy RS4 keeps up with these two brand new rockets from Germany. I already can't wait for the B8 RS4... I know it's going to be insane.

Anyways, the pics for the lazy ones:

yes its intresting. I remember all those previous fanboys discussion around the net, including our board. Reason why most people on car boards picked the C55 over M3 becuase the AMG had better comfort . Now that cant be used as an argument anymore and logically AMG fans should pick the M3 since it now offer better comfort than C AMG I wonder how many of them still pick C AMG
