RL in Florida Report post Posted May 30, 2008 I'm thinking of selling the Viper to get a sports sedan. I'm not planning on taking it to the track or anything like that, I just want something that I can zip to Miami or Orlando with more than one passenger. Saw a brand new M3 up close...not very impressed with the looks, but the performance and handling are obviously incredible (from what I have heard). I'm not a huge fan of MB overall (exception of SLR, but thats not really an MB, is it), but the C63 looks a lot meaner than previous iterations. Has anyone actually driven one yet, and can you give me some driving impressions? Thanks Rick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikV10 Report post Posted May 30, 2008 I have not driven a C63 AMG but I heard that it drives like an F430 (any confirmations to that?). This should help you... http://www.mbworld.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=93 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone actually driven one yet, and can you give me some driving impressions? Thanks Rick Richard, I have actually driven the C63 and the new M3. Hard....on a track. The C63 is a MUCH better car. I didn't dig the shifters that much....but in pure auto mode it was great. It would make a great DD. -DB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LE Report post Posted June 5, 2008 It's a great car! I spent a week in one. It has a stiff suspension setup that migth get on your nerves but I didn't mind it. The power isn't ridiculous but she certainly goes. And you can cook the tires no problem. And the C63 looks incredible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bashir26 Report post Posted June 6, 2008 C63 AMG is a great car. I'm sure Car and Driver have other opinions Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pockmark Report post Posted June 7, 2008 I think it is a MUCH better option than the RS4 at the same price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.Wiggs Report post Posted June 7, 2008 The only problem with the C63 is that it is a Mercedes; and, unfortunately, that is a HUGE problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
murclovr Report post Posted June 9, 2008 Dwiggs is right, but an LS-F is a LEXUS....solidly built for 10000 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucky30sedriver Report post Posted June 21, 2008 For more than one passenger you need a bigger car.I have an audi rs6 and love it, mate has m5,both great cars as is the e55amg. C class or 3 series bmw just dont offer the versatility of the slightly bigger model. Happy hunting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
