New C63 AMG... 200 # lighter than a Mustang GT

:laugh:
Arguably with wayyyy more tech and safety as well

Fuel efficiency is said to be improved by 32-percent over the outgoing C63, and while a healthy portion of that is down to the smaller engine displacement and tipping the scales at a svelte 3,615 lbs.

In its top trim, the C63 S boasts 503 hp and 516 lb.-ft. of torque

I thought those all handle like crap and have INSANE maintenance costs? I've never driven any Benz, no interest.

Round vents. Do not want.

That goes for every euro performance car.

I liked the last gen. Drove the vanilla version of current gen... it was alright too.

Rode shotgun in a straight piped C63 coupe on a canyon run a while back...

My nether regions definitely tingled from excitement. Mercedes' current interior is amazing imo, so this should be no different.

Not a huge fan of how this one looks, but it'll still be typical AMG madness. Gusta.

Custom Garmin GPS Glued to dash look. Pure win Mercedes. Nothing says high end like that.

Don't really follow the 'stangs, mang.

Only thing I was ever somewhat enticed by is the outgoing gen GT with track pack/brembos, but that's about it.

I thought I remembered the AMG's all underperforming compared to the competition in anything but a straight line, is that not true? I'd still drive an E55 wagon but that's for like $20k :lol:

I think the gap has been narrowing every generation. There is always a trade off right? In the MB case it is that they tend to be the best riding/most refined of the Germans
