Re: I have ordered one of these...
Nice choice,been seriously thinking of selling the S4 for a C63 the sound is just immense with race headers banged on.

Re: I have ordered one of these...
Good choice, DuncS3, you won't regret it! I considered swapping mine for a 507 but not worth it for an extra 20bhp and black series bonnet. Enjoy.

Re: I have ordered one of these...
Excllent. I look forward to your thoughts. I'm getting a test drive in one in September, hope it has got more low down poke than the standard C63, I'm sure it will though.

Re: I have ordered one of these...
it may be 50 bhp more than standard but the torque figure is only something like 7lb more - it should be slightly lighter but not sure there will be more low end torque. Saying that, it has way more than a B7 RS4 or e92 M3 - so low down I thought it was instantly quicker (240 lb/ft more than M3).Nickyboy wrote:Excllent. I look forward to your thoughts.

Re: I have ordered one of these...
Picked it up this morning - first observations:
1) The noise is simply awesome - v8 muscle car with pops and bangs on overruns - crazy!
2) It is a boy racers dream - loads of attention - it does look quite 'sporty'...
3) I have to run it in which sucks and i will struggle to do the miles before October
4) Gearbox is 'ok' but not a patch on my M3s DTC
5) Steering has more feel than M3 thats for sure
5) Handling - too early to tell as i have only done 100 odd miles but couple of roundabouts I believe the M3 feels better (M3 was better than RS4 too but I still rated my RS4)
6) looks - sat next to M3 - no question the AMG looks more special
So far loving it - will post some more pics soon...
