He got a jump a little but it looks like the C63 has some seriously heavy wheels on as well.

Hello little friends,

I switched to the c63 as I'm a car junkie. Run thru cars like underwear. Much respect for the isf and I'll prob be back for new version.

My performance thoughts.
Isf w/ headers > c63 stock
C63 w/ tune (the stock c63 are defined to 451 hp vs 500 plus for e/a class) > isf w/ headers

Interior
Isf much better

Horribly dusty surface, ISF had a better launch (or took off too soon,) C63 spun through first.
Either way, C63 is the faster car, just not in this race and in those conditions.

i was very impressed with that F, i have a few more vids of that same car, will post on youtube later.
My car is stock, those 63's don't run away from mine, they win only on brute force. not on finesse.

I made a brilliant choice buying F.

C63 costs more, not as dependable, standard items on F are alacarte on Merc. I like what I've got.

^True. But to have so much extra hp and torque in the same class is pretty astonishing. And the 507 that recently came out is not one to be reckoned with. I just couldn't handle the problems that are bound to arise, as well documented on the MB forums.
