Better looking, subjective on who you talk to but I personally think the C63 is a more agressive looking car yes.

More usable power; what torque wise? In terms of usable power and its delivery I can't see how a RWD car has more usable power so probaly similar if not better on an RS4

More exclusive. What because it hasn't been out for 2 years? I'm sorry, but unless Mercedes have said there will be a limited production run on the C63 it is touted to be it AMG's biggest model seller. And if a car is very good one could argue that it will not have exclusivity because everyone wants one, much like problem the old E46 M3 has.

And faster? Straight line yes but on a circuit or a country route? Even if it is by how much, a second, 3,4? So you'll get to the next set of traffic lights and have to wait there 4 seconds longer than I will in my RS, wooo. You'll have to be faster anyway for all the extra times you'll have to fill up when I won't with the shocking fuel economy the C63 has.

So your C63 ain't really blowing any RS away now is it?

Not a very clever response really.
Better looking - subjective

More useable power - the difference is a nats boll0ck and not so in all weather conditions.

More exclusive - not surprising considereing the RS4 has been out longer, :roll:

Faster - again a nats boll0ck

Some are calling for crew to ban your @rse. I say no. Your worth it for the fun factor alone and I feel sorry for you.

There are not that many AMGs to begin with, so the exclusivity factor is higher.

You wish I was a woman, you would beg me to go out with you. Alas, I am a dude and not interested in other dudes.

So, now that RS4 is mercifully put out to pasture, the only saloon that Audi has that can compete with the C63 is the RS6.

Are you kidding? Is that just in cheeseland?

So there is at the very top end of each model;

C63
CLK 63
E63
SL65
SLK55
CL63
S65
ML63
G55

And that doesn't include the 55 AMG engined models. Versus the RS4, RS6 and R8. Hmmm I'm willing to bet there are more AMG's than RS's.

Also AMG produce over 100 engines a day and has done since 2005. Granted some will go to Pagani and other sports cars makers, however it's safe to say 50% will go in Mercedes based cars so in the last two years a minumum of 36,500 AMG's have been built. Against how many RS4's / R8's? You need to wake up out of that slumber RussianM3_dude.

Believe you me, I see more RS's then AMGs. Heck I saw two RS4 identical to mine in Geneva in the same parking lot (recaros, non-chromed mirrors, Daytona grey, saloons.) While it is true that threre are more AMG models, they are rarer.

See, that comment in itself defies all logic, there are more but it is rarer? What a paradox.

I see as many proper AMG Mercs (not just the ones with badges and wheels / trim on) as E46 M3's, so much so I need an Abacus to keep track. As to RS's / R8's I can count on two hands the number in my area without repetition.

P_G stop wasting your time. It is obvious they are after attention, no mates syndrome I believe its callled, so in order to get attention RM3D comes out with wild contradictory statements.
