The Motor Trend comparo/Head 2 Head is the one I'm looking forward to the most. The C63 S Coupe was only 3 tenths off from a non-CP DCT equipped M4 and 2 tenths faster than the non-CP 6MT M4 on this track.
I think a bigger track like Big Willow or even Laguna Seca will favor the C63 S Coupe, and could further close the gap between it and the CP DCT M4.
It's pretty darn impressive that the C63 S Coupe is as close as it is around the track compared to the CP DCT M4 - especially so when you factor in that the Coupe with it's new rear suspension, beefier wheels/tires, etc. is actually heavier than the C63 Sedan!
US Spec curb weights:
W205 C63 S Sedan: 3,935 lbs
C205 C63 S Coupe: 4,096 lbs
161 lbs heavier than the sedan... the pig definitely has some tricks up its sleeve!
Let's see some Nurburgring times the CP DCT M4... AMG has said that the C63 S Coupe is as fast as the last-gen C63 Black Series around the ring (7:46).
