well I test drove both, but my ex-gf was looking at buying the c300 4matic(we live near mountains) and we dug it a lot.

Both of the cars though were the same red with the premium 2 package.

Err.... The c350 had the p2 package and the c300 had the p2 without the staggered wheels.

Its not an AMG, right?

Slammed89Integra · 05-11-2009, 10:10 PM

Nah, those are C63 AMG.

Sick car nonetheless, but better ones out there in that price range I feel.

I couldn't find anything that fit ME in the same class. I really wish the G37 sedan did something for me but looks wise, I just wasn't feeling it.

Slammed89Integra · 05-12-2009, 01:21 AM

Nah, I think you made the right choice in that class.

I was referring to the class that the c63 amg is in. Like m3, RS4, etc....

I like the M3 looks a lot, the 328 and 335 do nothing for me but the M3 still looks good. RS4 is nice, but not sure if I'd take it over the C63.

EGProject · 05-12-2009, 08:54 PM

Manual > Auto. For that kind of money, and that car - the RS4 is much better of the deal. C63's are nice, but it's still not quite the "drivers car" that the RS4 is. 4-dr M3 vs. RS4, that's a hard one to call.

And how many hours have you spent driving all of those cars?

You can get c350 AMG's apparently.

I was behind one that was badged that way, the other day, as well as one that was badged a 4matic.

4matic only comes as an option for the C300.
both the C300 and C350 can be optioned with AMG wheels, however the only real AMG is the C63.

everything is a friggin AMG badged car now it seems.

I've driven an RS4, seeing as I work for Audi, and even though I've never driven a C63 AMG, based on the fact it has no manual option, and not nearly the same suspension as the RS4, makes me believe that it is more of a high-speed cruiser than something to attack mountain roads.

You?

Yep, I've driven both of them, on a track too. E will add another line to his list if I go on any further. I favored the RS4 though, I can't get over the wierd cockpit feeling of the 2007 c63, it made me feel like a midget.

I disagree with you on that about the suspension, I found the Audi suspension to be softer than the C63. I felt less body roll in the C63 coming around sharp bends than any audi, save for the TT.

awptickes · 05-13-2009, 07:44 PM

Oh, one more thing:

AMG automatic transmissions > *

EGProject · 05-13-2009, 07:52 PM

The RS4 has a special parallel damper suspension that basically stops body roll, figured it was seem more planted than a Merc.
Really never flogged a C63, so nothing to compare it to. USDM's get Pirelli PZeros as stock, but a few guys I know that are up on overseas Audis tell me that you can get much stickier tires on it stock in the EK and EU.

I have some E-Code tires on my civic that are pretty much r-compound competition tires. It's awesome. They wear out in like 10,000 km, but who cares? E-Code tires can be incomprehensibly sticky and stiff. That probably makes a big difference in handling, I know how big of a difference it made on my civic going from DOT UHP tires to E-Code UHP tires.

jeffie7 · 05-14-2009, 05:52 PM

The C350 auto tranny is hands down the best damn auto I've driven. 7 speeds FTW!

I still hate autos...

jeffie7 · 05-17-2009, 12:18 AM

Got around to taking some pictures today.

Calesta · 05-17-2009, 06:19 PM

Nice!

Slammed89Integra · 05-17-2009, 07:34 PM

Love it man. Love it.

It is by far the best looking sedan in the market right now IMO.

totalburnout · 05-17-2009, 10:52 PM

Beautiful car. Congratulations.
