I just got the C63 brochure today in the mail from my dealer. Making my wait even more agonizing.

I'll tell you this, you'll never spank my M3 because you won't get the chance. My best friend was killed in law school when a couple of kids drag racing from one red light to the next never stopped. So please excuse me if I don't join you in a drag race from a red light and if I don't share your fascination with straight line acceleration. I'm not one dimensional, and neither is my driving nor my car. |

Incorrect.
Not really. (Sorry Hans!) As stated many times on this forum, what matters is torque at the wheels per vehicle weight. Torque at the shaft is not particularly meaningful. If you want to compare shaft numbers, compare hp/weight although that will exclude drag, transmission losses, and drag and rotational inertia effects. Several months ago, I plotted T@wheels for M3 vs 335 over rpms. Recently, member mixja plotted T@wheels over vehicle speed (also excluding drag and rotational inertia effects) for M3 vs several cars including the C63. As, you can see, DCT's extra gear makes it a mixed story. http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=157633

On second thought, that seems like a reach. How about Dudley DoRight and Snidely Whiplash? Bruce PS - Was "Snidely Whiplash" the all time high water mark for villainous names, or what? |
