The shift itself is very fast in the 991 but there is an annoying delay in upshifts when you pull the paddle, my e92 never had that issue. I also felt the mdct to be more engaging, it felt less like an auto IMO.

Just pop a performance exhaust in there and it will suddenly "feel" savage when your ear drums no longer wonder wtf that shitty sound is coming through the speakers. Instead they become captivated by the symphony that is an I6 coming through your open window.
Dull feeling solved. A 6 liter v8 putting down the same time 0-60 as a 3 liter I6, turbo nor not, is somehow just dull? No it's not it just sounds like an old fart so you feel it's dull. What it really is, is an amazing step forward in automotive engineering. It allows us to drive a stunning car that won't rob us of thousands in taxes and gas and will still be relevant and even pivotal in modern and future everyday sportscars (weight savings, CFRP, fuel savings, no power loss even gain). Auto makers have little choice but to better gas mileage, even in sports cars, I'd rather they perfect it now while the other dinosaur v8s are around and optional. I have no doubt that within 10 years v8's will become almost nonexistent and I/V 6's will be the new rarity available in full sized luxury, utility, and sports cars while the rest move to 4s and diesels. Oh wait that's already happening |

Everybody already knows about the C63 transmission. did you test drive it? Also, the 6.2 is labelled 6.3 due to the famous 6.3 liter of the past...it is a homage. BMW labels the turbo 4 cylinder as a 28. But, from what I hear the Mercedes dealerships do need to up the ante on customer service. |

Errr Pardon the brief intermission. "clar", thanks for stopping buy to provide commentary on the above. Hold the Press......"458 Speciale"?The expression on your face is probably going to something akin to this dude upon delivery I hate to see the old girl go (E92 ///M) , but the new chick's a stunna. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming

this seems to be an honest opinion of the M3/4 engine, and that concern on throttle response does exist after all. Can't wait to test drive one and really find out!

The M3 was always a driver's oriented car. It is a legend that has garnered an incredible number of followers. This car is been in the making since 1985. Mercedes did not wake-up and started making driver's oriented cars until 2008, with the C63. Mercedes gave AMG unprecedented input in the design of the C63 (not counting the SLS). Only time will tell, but the way I see, the gap between M3/M4 and C63 will soon disappear.
On a side note: The only difference between C63-P31 and C63-Edition 507, is cosmetic. Many drivers compared them on MBWorld. |

I am not 100% sure but did sutcliffe ever go crazy over any turbo motor? The 911 turbo s to him had crazy power but that was about it, right?

As stated, it was 2 AM on a Sunday and no cars in sight. Had a buddy stopped on the other sides exit as a look out. I was attempting to drift around the entire round about. Forgot launch control was engaged. It was an accident that I can afford to make... in the car by myself. Impact happened at lower speed. What about the hundred's of people in the world with c63's that top their cars out at 170mph on open roads during the day? I feel I was responsible in my situation and the only person at risk was myself. I wanted to let it rip in my m3 and so I did. Lesson learned and I will make sure my launch control is off when I do it in my M4. Love when people take a good debate and start throwing personal jabs to help prove a mute point. I had the c63 and it was heavy, cheap feeling, only impressive in a straight line. But that is just my opinion and said that several times. Only tried to throw out some key points that benz gives you very little for the price they charge. That was the main point I was trying to prove. Who has best bang for the buck. |

The irony here is that you're implying the M3 is significantly better in terms of handling and car control, while your own experience says otherwise.
