i think for the majority of us, we would prob stick with the m3/4 knowing its capabilities rather than looking at shear numbers. From what I recall, the last C63 coupe was even closer in the handling dept than previous versions and has become less of just a muscle car. it will be interesting to see how merc approached the performance for the new model. there is no denying that the engine in the AMG cars are awesome. lets see what they did for the other characteristics of the car.
i think for the average car buyer, 500+hp is an great buy. People love AMG's for their power and they may possibly win over some customers with such an engine.
I mean cmon, how many times have you had a c63 driver "show off" his exhaust note when driving around in an m3. happens to me always!
