Sounds like the C63 AMG with its slushbox automatic probably is faster than the M3 if all you are considering is a straight-line drag race.
However, when put to a track test, the M3 routinely beats the C63. I've read some people say in a C63 when making a fast lane change they can feel the suspension swaying the car back and forth, this is why in a professional track test the C63 is fishtailing out of control while the M3 eats its lunch with perfect balance and chasis structure. And I submit that real-life daily driving is much more like a "track test" than a "drag race", i.e. making left turns, right turns, slowing then reaccelerating then turning, etc. etc. I think that is why many people prefer the M3 over the C63, it just handles better. However, if you're the front car at a stoplight and want the fastest dragster to the next light, then C63 would be for you. |

There are guys on MBWorld who would be close... headers, LT, full exhaust, tune... maybe more. Ask the question there.

Just less traffic and therefore takes longer to get info. Post up some details in your thread on what you are trying to get for power... someone will help.

With 2.0 liters more displacement I would hope the C63 would be faster The only engine that BMW makes that's close to that size is the N74 6.0 V12 As a package, the current M3 is still regarded as "the best balanced" of the two - I'm cool with that. I think most here agree.

Just my two cents of course - and those pennies went towards my M3
