MB's are able to take corners pretty well these days Pingu...

Particularly the C63 - unlike some of the AMG's of old, it was designed from the outset as a high performance, great handling car. This is not a "classic" AMG where an incredible engine is fitted to a mediocre chassis.
I have not tested it my self but a few of my friends that have driven this car says it quite a hand full to drive hard.
Unlike the M3 which is much easyer and much faster on corners

My slk 55 amg takes corners much better than my e60... Maybe because it is such a small car... Lol

I will say though that after being in Vegastrashed's E63 AMG, I much prefer my M5 over that car. Again though, that's the E63, not the C63.
