CEC just opened up about 2 miles from where I live. I am not impressed with their body kits. I have not seen any real performance work from them yet. On the other hand I was at Ruf in Dallas a few weeks ago and was very impressed.

Drifting
you know, I have driven the C55 AMG, E55 AMG...these were fast cars, but they always struck me as straight line autobahn cruisers...
this C63 AMG was different...although it weighs almost 4k lbs, it doesnt feel like it...looks and feels small and tight and the 450hp/450lbs torque naturally aspirated just pulls the car like a freight train...and the noise...
for those Rennlisters with the $$ to have a daily driver like this + Porsche, you MUST DO IT

I drove one a few weeks ago. Sure it was "quick", but I wasn't blown away in the least about the power (I do have a 850bhp mustang, so thats part of it). I also thought the interior was just cheap as hell, as are all the new C classes.
Great looking car, but I have no desire to own a "sporty" mercedes. They are much better at making luxury cars than sports cars, so I'll stick to my S class.

impressive
1/4 mile = 12.5 or better, that's pretty damn quick for a 4000lb sedan!

On the other hand, my designo s500 has a full leather dash, door panels, center console, alcantara headliner, etc. That, to me, is what an MB should have. Not interior plastics that look like they came from a CTS caddy. Even my 2000 E430 had better materials than the new plastic. It just looks and feels a bit cheap for a car in that price range, power or not.
Were it something like a lotus elise, then who cares, but lets face it, this is still supposed to be a luxury sports sedan.

tomaeto /tomahto I guess...
- the interior looks fine to me, not as luxurious as some of the Mercedes cruiser upper end models, but not really supposed to look that cushy I guess, this is their sports sedan... I think the interior is better than the new M3, but not as good as the RS4
- I wouldnt want this car with a manual... a big muscle car sedan capable of hauling kids, but also fun to drive, sit in traffic, etc... a stick would get old I think... this is not a replacement for our cars, its a different kind of car
only point of my original post was to share how crazy fast the car is/felt... still I say, fastest thing I have ever been in
lets get back to Porsches
