Good comparison. Though in the same class and similar on paper, they go about their work very differently. At the end of the day, you can't go wrong either way. Having owned both, it all comes down to personal preference. One thing is for sure though, they are both more fun than the C63s and RS5.

eh, not sure about being more fun than the c63s. Have you driven one? the f80 in manual for sure is more fun but the dct is so much less engaging. If going auto/dct I actually have more fun in the amg than my f80. v8 twin turbo and the ease of being able to control a sideways spin, the exhaust note. yummy.

Yes, did not have a w205 but have driven it, and also had the faster E63s. Awesome cars, but not a nimble at the M3 nor Quadrifoglio.

Pretty much everything else does. It is the one real sore spot for the M3/M4. You know that won't be a problem in next-gen though...that is for sure.

Otherwise though, the 2019 C63 is fantastic in that regard and also has the 9 speed traction control from the AMG GT-R which works very well. |

If you re-shod the F80 with it's 255/275 MPSS OEM rubber, yes it has trouble hooking up. If, you spent a bit more per tire and put on RE-71R, or 265/295 MPSS, or MPSC2s or the same Alfa tire - the F80 will hook right up. Only speaking from my personal experience going to both RE-71R and also 295 MPSS out back though, what do I know.

I just don't get the traction comments about the ZCP, at all. I can use nearly/fully 100% of the grunt on this thing in 2nd gear all the time, assuming warm/dry conditions, on stock PSS 285s.
Canyon runs... WOT in 2nd gear, coming out of tight corners... very, very hooked. What am I missing? Edit - I can easily break my E46 M3 loose if I try. My E90M3 was even easier, if I tried. Point is, a truly powerful car like the F80 will spin if provoked. So will a Corvette. Camaro. Mustang, etc.

fun is subjective but with that said, you are comparing a w204 vs a f80. the proper comparison is w205 which drives totally different. Ive owned both cars and two iterations of the f80. The c63s is not as light and nimble and doesnt have the overall handling at the limit, but the drifting characteristics is more stable than the f80. the f80 is more twitchy. the c63s is way more progressive as you can easily feel the back end slowly come out. I.e its more controllable sideways which in my opinion makes it much more fun. with that said it doesnt come in manual.
for me f80 manual < c63s < f80 dct in terms of overall fun |

I just, personally, would never ever say that the F80Z is traction limited. Quite the contrary - I think it hooks extremely well for how much power it makes. But even in the rain (it's been pouring here) the ZCP hooks really, really good. I have to provoke it to break it loose.

At first I thought it was the suspension, but with TC off the car still goes straight if the tires are spinning and steering wheel is pointed straight. I’m sure it’s a mix of both but a more lenient TC would go such a long way. MDM isn’t that much better, but it helps. Wider tires help way more |

I could barely make it past part 1. Nothing against those three guys, they seem like good dudes but there's just nothing interesting in what they're saying, except that it's good for the QF that the M3 owner seems to really like it.

At the end of the day, it’s all personal opinion/preference, but overall they did accurately portray most of the unique differences. They are exactly that differences, not flaws or superior traits. You can’t go wrong with either vehicle.

Agreed. Actually had much better traction on my M3 with snowtires in the cold than on a 65 degree day with the PSS...and even just pulling out of my driveway, it was very noticeable.
