i have always thought of the c63 as a powerful beast, made only to go fast while you just sort of hold on for dear life. Now, I would love to be back in a car with that kind of power. Give it a month, you will be modding it for more power.
Where you live Craig, there's no reason to buy a car based on its performance in the twisties. In your neck of the woods I'd be looking at power above all else. And the C63 bests in M3 in that department. On a road course and in the twisties, of course, M3 is the better car.

that is true. i could probably drive across the entire state with the "club" on my steering wheel!

highway ramps are the only place I get to experience the engineering that went into my suspension.

That is so true. Florida has the straighest, flattest roads of any state in the US that I've ever been to and I've been to most of them at some point. I lived down there one summer while in college and my Mustang 5.0 was in its element there.

amg cars are truly awesome. the only caveat is getting used to all that power makes it much harder to drive any slower car.
