Probably not, but I am sure he would say that the 443lb-feet of torque and the sound the C63 produces quickly makes him forget about an under-torqued 4 litre motor wheezing away at 8K rpm to pull 3,600lbs.

Different philosophies. AMG was racing cars and Mercedes winning formula one championships before BMW knew what a sports car was.



They are both great motors. Get over it.
I wouldn't call the s65 "wheezing" at 8k RPM, that's rather demeaning and argumentative at best. My tiny S65 has no problem passing just about anything on the track (including the mighty AMG) and I've never heard it gasp for air... Now let's get back to the classroom :
