The C63 can keep up with the best in its class in the handling department and in a straight line, it slaughters all its rivals. However, the engine being the brute force beast that it is, tends to overwhelm the chassis in corners. Judicious use of the throttle is a must if you don't want to shred your rear tires or end up as a part of a guard rail.

Brabus C63..
"BRABUS, the German tuner of all things Daimler, has laid its hands upon the C63 AMG and somehow teased out an additional 73 horsepower from the sedan's 6.2L V8. With a BRABUS badge on the back, the C63 AMG produces 530 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, up from 457 and 442, respectively. Called the B63 S performance kit, the engine mods include free-flow high-performance metal catalysts, sport air filters and new programming for the ECU with custom mapping. With everything in place, the BRABUS C63 AMG can hit 62 mph in just 4.1 seconds and ultimately top out at 197 mph. Of course, the rest of the sedan has been beefed up to support the engine with components like a BRABUS performance brake system, 19-inch wheels and a height-adjustable BRABUS coil-over suspension. Finally, the German tuner has a whole catalogue of interior and exterior accessories to set your B63 S apart from stock C63 AMGs."

For sure the engine is a killer. It's a MOFO 6 liter V8 and then some. So in many respects straight line uber performance is expected....but i'm not so sure in the twisties. I don't think it has the raw razor sharp precision as the M3.
And it looks like crap. The brabus too. Sorry but every time i see the Merc C Klass front in makes me dizzy and then when i see the back it makes me puke.
