I rarely see a C63 and I just happened to be sitting at a stop light and one pulled up right next to me. I knew I had no chance, but I just wanted to see how badly he would beat me. It was ugly. That thing pulls like crazy and the exhaust sound is amazing!
We all know about the sub-par M-B handling as far as performance cars go, but in a straight line.... WOW !!!

C63 owners are sub-par as well.

Yes i was there yesterday but i didn't look closely. I just noticed the badge and the dismantled body. Looks like a major cosmetic surgery!

BTW, Can you bug Vince about my ride?

the c63 is not joke at any means... when your running a straight line.. when it comes to the twistes lQQk out.. cause you will be all over the place.. the c63 black on the other hand is a force that is out of this world.. it has the handleing of a bimmer and the speed of rocket.... what a car the black one is going to be.. the c63 is a great car,, it sound crazy.. at low at high rpm`s.. there`s a guy that lives around the corner from me. i HEAR THE CAR FROM MY HOUSE WHEN HE HITS THE GAS.. IT`S A GOD DAM BEAST!!!!!!!!!!!!

The C63 is a decent handling car. If you look up the stats, you'll find it's not sub par at all. The perceived wisdom is that it's very close to the E92 M3, and in the group tests against the BMW and Audi RS4 earlier this year the C63 got a lot of praise in the handling department.

Yup - drove one at the AMG event.
Also did the dyno run on the C63:

o-100kmh in 4.4 sec
0-160kmh in 13.1 sec
