but hey, its still pimpin'

What a POS. I cant believe the Germans are so stupid, talk about 60s thinkign with regards to performance. The only way they know how to make a car quicker is to throw a bigger motor in it. I mean what the fark. 6.3L V8 in a small sedan. Get with the times!

the interior looks a bit lacklustre for the money you have to spend to buy one of these things

.... but get some quad pipes into ya!!

After driving a couple of AMG 63's and a E63 AMG I can tell you that this car would be balll breaking stuff to drive.

When I drove the E63. Its not really the acceleration that gets you (even though it feels like your breaking into hyperspeed throughout ALL rpm range).. its the brakes. They just rip your face off. I jumed on the anchors and the seatbelt snaped into lock and almost hit my head on the steering wheel.

Clarkson always spoke about cooking Merc brakes after no time at all and never really being able to turn the traction control off. Thats because the brakes act as the first form of traction control to slow certain corners of the car to stop it from sliding. And then the car cuts off the trottle. By pushing the "traction controll off" button dosen't really do much. You need to put the car in "dyno mode". But its not common knowledge how to it. So not everyone knows.

Just a bit of useless knowledge and criticism against Clarkson

[Brad3416]

i agree with the interior compared to other models, but its nappa leather, racing seats, esp can be turned completely off unlike past benz. and for like price its pretty decent.

Have you heard rumours that the next one is going to have pushrods and a leaf-sprung rear axle?

Awesome! When Mercedes-Ilmor first got involved in Indy Cars a few years back they used a pushrod V8 as the rules at the time meant that a pushrod engine could run more boost and a few other little things from memory. They read that and went great. and built the most powerful engine until the rules were changed

But alas, i was beign an idiot with my above post. If Holden bump up displacement they get persecuted, they are just keeping pace with the times

Not a huge fan of the C63 though, its hard to pull me off an RS4 but if i could easily do it for an E63

[stolen_s15]

I had one of these things flying through traffic today......wow.

[R33GOD]

they do a 12 second pass standard dont they?

[[WLDCRD]]

gts4wd, when its in dyno mode did you notice how much heavier the steering was? its still fun though!

[typevu]

Front looks tough as nuts but the rear tail lights look odd I reckon... saw it on Top Gear... its nice

[WazR32GTSt]

i agree on the E-class being more than a small step up on the C-class..

i would trade my soul for an E63

Meh. My Forester will get to 100 in almost the same time, show it the way through the hills, blitz in the wet and it costs 1/5th the price.

Never been a fan of the C class...unless its a CLK

These new 63 AMG's are bloody fast... when i was competing at Mt Panorama they where using them as Pace Cars and when they set off, they went flying (and had a real awesome sound to them to)!!
