I would take the M3 any day on the track over this.
I would too but for different reasons. The C63 does come with an LSD with the performance package, the brakes are actually better than the M3's in my experience and no one keeps the 255's on long before they replace them with 245/275 tires. These issues aren't a big deal or an advantage for the M3 IMO. However, the M3's DCT or 6MT, better cooling management and couple of hundred pound weight advantage give it the advantage as a track car. The engine, although less powerful, also feels easier to control at the track although this could be a function of being able to dial in the throttle response to taste and the DCT transmission. Either way, the M3 is a more fun and satisfying car at the track whether or not it is actually faster time wise (i.e. the C63 coupe is faster on the 'Ring than the E92 M3 as an example... although the result might be different on other tracks).
