Supercharged ESS VT2-625 M3 vs Mercedes-Benz AMG C63 Black Series



In case you were wondering, these MBZ Black Series are fast.

Ours has been fun to drive. The car has tons of TQ and a nasty sounding exhaust. Wait until we release our supercharger for it

Impressive dyno for the ESS M3(as always) but specially the C63 BS, I did'nt knew it was underated by Merc! I wonder what a normal 450hp C63 put down!

I know beauty is subjective but I don't think it can be called f***en ugly, personnally, I love what Merc as done with this car and could only dream of BMW doing the same with the M3!! I think it's one of the most bad-ass car you can drive in the street!

Traction is an issue as it stands. Putting a blower on that tq monster is it even going to be usable?

I personally LOVE the BS C63! If i could afford it i wouldn't think twice. It looks aggressive a shit in person!!! I think benz did an amazing job with this car IMO. With that said, coincidently they parked my car next to one that was there for service at the benz dealer last week when i stopped by to check out a SMART car to replace my DD (i drive into the city almost every day (NYC) for work) I snapped quick pics:

You just can't argue with those proper fender flares though...

Cool comparison Tom!

Roman, I cannot wait to see what your blower kit will do on the M156! I'm rather curious what type of supercharger you'll be using.

Anthony, AMAZING PIC!! C63BS is one of my all time favorite looking cars!!

Whoever thinks the C63 BS is ugly is high as f*ck... That must be a biased opinion solely because you drive a BMW M3? I'm an SA at a MBZ dealership and can honestly say that's one of the most funnest cars I've driven esp ones with the upgraded P30(performance) package. Car handles extremely well and yes even though it has massive amounts of TQ it's still a blast to drive and people literally break their necks looking at it.
