Default C63 does 12.3@116mph!!!

I think this pretty much seals the deal as to my next vehicle. Especially since it's widely "rumored" that getting 500hp from this motor is going to be childs play.

0-60 in 3.9secs too...i remember when I was a magazine racer before I had my license but 3.9 seconds from a 4 door?? Holy shiest. That used to be like super car territory.

and a 12sec car that does everyday function also...thats insane.

Niiice. Lexus came weak and late to the party with the IS-F. Hopefully they're not in the same price class or MB won't be able to keep these things in stock.

Maybe. But notice the MB goes 30 - 70 quicker than the other two go 30 - 50...bet that's because of a downshift...

11's from this car should be CAKE! Looking forward to April, that's when my local MB dealer said they will have them on the lot.

Very nice. It's a shame Lexus doesn't at the moment offer anything close in performance.

^ No but a nissan can though.. hehe GTR will totally smoke it stock or modded, straight line or track.... but power and performance isn't everything. The IS-F might not be as powerful but i'm pretty sure it will spend more time on the road and less time in the shop than a C63.

The C63 is a BEAST, I love this car more than the other offerings from Audi, BMW, Lexus :[ It is the most expensive though, but it's just so beastly. I can't even wrap my head around it.
