I have 2 E6s wagons one with CCBs and one with steel and a GT3, the wagon with CCBs will outbreak and accelerate the Gt3 any day of the week, I would dare to say that in anything but tight cornering the wagon with CCB would give a very tight run to the GT3. I have routinely done 1:37<1:39 at Laguna in the CCB wagon, just plain and simply they defy physics. and then the SOUND of a V8.....

The proper Porsche to race is the Turbo S not the GT3. Actually just bought the wife a GLC AMG 6.3 ......well the 6.3 is for when I have to drive it(:

Seems like the E63s would have no problems up against a turbo s . Impressive how it kept up/pulled slightly away up to 100mph to the ferrari 488

You guys are making me rethink selling my wagon...

Up here a mile up it will easily outrun a GT3 stock for stock. Blast on track to (like alstofor I've got one with CCBs and it's shocking how well it performs.

if your wagon is a 15-16 DO NOT sell it you will regret! the 4L engine does not come close to the 5,5. I traded my C63 for an E63 in the old country and I am seriously considering selling it and buying a used 5.5 again. Call me crazy but I love the 5.5 and 6.3 engines. I will not sell the 5.5 I have in the USA even if you paid me over MSRP. Just the interior in the 18 feels like a cheap Japanese car designed by an 19 year old.

LOL, like I said making it hard! I've got a '16 with basically every option that feels brand new. It's an amazing car (wagon) just having an issue with the seat hurting my back. First car ever had an issue with and tried a variety of things to fix it. A shame as it's just so good at so much.

Imo, the 18s is light years better than 14-16my. Out of the box the 18s is so much faster eliminating the need for a tune. As far as interior goes, my 18 is so much better and def not cheap feel to it. I got the interior/exterior carbon fiber packages and that makes a huge difference. Def worth the upgrade

At HP/Dollar, Performance / Dollar, Quality / Dollar and Equipment / Dollar I've always believed the AMG E-63S, at half the price of my TTS,
and comparable Quality represented the Best Buy / Buck in performance cars. My 2014 AMG E-63S has Twin Turboed 5.5 L V8.
Motor Trend dynoed that E63S Engine at far closer to 700 HP than the advertised 577 HP. Too bad they downsized the 5.5L to 4.0 L in the latest models.
The larger 5.5 L V8 Engine has more Torque in Traffic at lower RPM so is immediately responsive to throttle input without waiting for boost to arrive in the
smaller Engine. It also has a far larger Fuel Tank and a complete Spare Tire Kit, Paddle shifting, and Sport Chrono Equivalent suspension and power maps.
Track Handling is also surprisingly good for a Heavy 4 Door Sedan with a Huge Trunk and VERY comfortable back-massaging seats. On high speed Turnpikes,
the slightest Throttle Pressure will leave other traffic shrinking in your mirrors incredibly rapidly.
