all i can say is that the c63 vs m3 drag race is the question of the year and i am still super curious as to which one is quicker. HOPEfully, someone can post some legit videos up. im almost positive it will get a crapload of attention from forums elsewhere too.
I don't get the kickdown arguement. Its an automatic. So if it did have to kick down whenever you wanted to apply the power, wouldn't this be a regular occurance? If so, then that is just part of the C63's speed. You have to allow for the kickdown, thus making it slower.

To argue this any other way would be saying the transmission is sloppy in the C63.
