Was it me or was that start less fulfilling that I thought it would be?

Not a race I would have done since that road 1. Doesnt look flat, who knows what holes or indents lie, and 2. The concrete and asphalt mix road.

I thought the same thing. I also think the 63s wheels weigh 46 lbs each.

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
I agree with your post especially about the interior on the pre 2012 C63's but also:

Reliability - much better on the ISF
Gas mileage - much better on the ISF
Transmission (pre 2012) - much better on the ISF

Coming from a C63 owner as well

I also got both ISF & C63 , and I can tell u the C63 is a torque monster. The downside is the C63 rear fenders are weak sauce, we need wider tires to put the power down.

I just bought new 275/30 PSS tires, hope it will help. I'm also looking for the same tire on the ISF.
