Sure! This is the day I brought it home. I will post more pictures when I get home. I love the interior, and REALLY love when running wide open throttle and using the paddle shifter to click through 7 speeds.

Definitely a sinister-looking car.

Alright, time for an update- I also drove an M6 for good measure- not for me. I went and drove the S4 again. I cannot believe that is a 12.90 car. It does not feel near as fast as any of the others. Also, I believe from a roll my c55 would give it a nice run for its money. I ran a 13.18 at 107 and trapped as high as 108 in my c55 though.

Anyways back on topic- I also re-drove an e63 and ruled it out. This brought it down to the c63 vs cls55. There were no c63's to be found that were not new and the cls I was looking at sold. I did however find an '07 cls63 and fell in love. I think this is the one. If I can get it at the price I offered it is a go. If not, I'll buy one elsewhere but this is the one for me.

The C-Class just is not up to snuff for my tastes,
Would you care to explain? Because I bloody love the c63 and for *me* the e63 was way too docile (if you can even call any modern AMG cars that lawl)

to me the e63 was similar to the e60 m5. the latter felt "tighter" and had a better balance in the quick corners (at least that's what my butt told me), but everything was on a level that's a bit more toward the, dare i way, boring side

c63...that thing was so damn fun I couldn't wipe the damn smile off of my face. the e63 and cls55 made me giggle a bit on the inside under WOT from a dead stop, but that was pretty much it.

as OT, the m5 felt very boring till the top of 3rd (empty freeway). i'm aware of its acceleration numbers, but super heavy sedans need them AMG engines to feel alive

damn i type too much somebody get me a c63 so i can stfu

Don't get me wrong, the performance was there in the c63. It was the interior that just bugged me.

As the owner of an E63 AMG, I am curious what you did not like about it that made you rule it out? I know what things I would change about it (there are only a couple of things). So your feedback on specifics would be appreciated.

Good luck with that CLS63. They look beautiful, I just could not get used to the divided back seats, and some other detail work. They look killer though, and have plenty of power.
