BMW M3 and Mercedes C63 AMG

Well Audi is the worst when it comes to weight and the new RS5 is only going to come in a 7-speed S Tronic Gearbox, no 6MT available. It's going to be a really hot car on the street, but I would never have one in my driveway, I'm too stubborn at the moment to give up my manual transmission.

 

Torque curve looks amazing though, look how flat it is.

 

If It's Front engine + AWD with screwed up weight distribution, then no thanks. Espeically when It's going to cost 100K+

 

I like the sound of the C63 AMG

My neighbor has one and when he leaves the sound is beautiful.

 

How do you embed pics so they aren't in thumbnail form?

 

Where in Newfoundland are you??? I am gonna be in Stephenville for about 3 weeks from the 21st of July to the 10th of August. I can give you a spin in my 2011 M3 if you are anywhere in that area..... That way you can see for yourself how HEAVY my M3 feels.

 

Yah... two bad habits I have... buying cars and then obsessively detailing them! Looking forward to meeting up in August!

 

Im sure itll feel similar to the '10 M3 Coupe I had a ride in last summer. When I say the M3 feels slow, Im speaking relatively. Obviously a mid 12 sec 1/4 car is not slow. Ive been in both and the C63 feels much more powerful at low rpms / in traffic.

 

i agree with the high power argument, out in the real world torque matters most

the only problem with the C63 is putting the power down, even with the optional LSD id still need to carefully feed in the power off the line in 1st and 2nd

 

Holy crap Sam. Is there a car you haven't owned? Great pics Ken. That C63 is on my short list.

 

theres only a few cars i actually keep longer than 6 months though... the GTR ill be keeping for a looooong time, it's my modern day dream car. Ive also kept my M3 for over 3 years now, despite the constant maintenance bills, and mainly due to that magical inline 6 engine

even had a new 300C SRT8, kept it for about 3 weeks lol
