I resigned to the fact that, no matter what car(s) I own during my life, there will always be a Datsun that's faster.

Was that other car even trying?

Motor magazine put the M3 up against the C63 and LS7 CSV GTS thingie in next months issue.

C63 came out on top!

I cant get any accurate info on pricing, the $139,500 price sounds good on paper but I suspect it will end up very close to the M3 price when you spec it in a similar way.

They were quite impressed with the C63s steering and chassis which flies in the face of many reviews I have seen so far.

I think its bang for your buck performance. I mean it costs around 30k cheaper then the M3. I also quite like the aggressive look that the c63 has. If i was patient bloke i would have paid 15k more and got myself a black c63.

I think he meant "a black C63" not "a C63 Black Series"

C63 is priced $17,500 less than the M3 but there has not, to my knowledge, been any release of specifications...The M3 could easily be $17,500 cheaper if it came specced as the base US M3 is.
