Not coming to the U.S. is it? So what's the point.

We all know the good stuff stays in Europe. Any C63 owner could tune it to have the same specs anyways. So nothing to cry about. It's just not from factory that's all. If you can afford to own this car you can probably afford to lose its warranty via modifying it's motor to produce 520hp.

Suddenly, the M3 looks vulnerable and the RS4 pedestrian.

Why don't we make it a fair fight give both the BMW M3 and Audi RS4 or RS5 520 hp and 650 Nm of Torque and see who win. BMW should win easily because of it great handling and being lighter.

That doesn't make any sense! Why don't we give the Miata 520hp and 650 Nm, and it would probably destroy all these cars. Hell, how about give a Ford Focus or a Honda CRZ that power?

You can't just swap power and make things up. You have to take whatever the manufacturers give you.

Sometimes I wonder if you guys are just stupid Teenagers who quote stats without sparing a few Brain-Cells to apply Logic.

Those are F430 times

ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR FREAKING MIND ????

I remember when some RETARD stated on this site that the 750LI was clocked at 4.1secs for 0-60.

FUCKING IDIOTs. The lot of them.

This is MB's response to BMW's M3 GTS. Audi won't come out with a special RS4 version, Audi will tell you to buy the R8!

I have a 2009 C63. I have the ECU Flashed, CF airbox, SS long tube headers, all done by RennTech.
559 HP @ 6800 RPM; 515 LB-FT @ 5200 RPM on the dyno.

My best time at the track is 11.46 @ 117mph in 1/4mi. And that's when it's 100" outside. The car will do 0-60 in 4 sec or better. Stock it was running about 4.2-4.3sec 0-60. It will burn a M3 to the ground.. I got rid of my RS4 for it. Minus the handeling the C63 pretty much beats it all around. The tourqe is the best thing about the car. The only car I have driven that can compare to it is the Porsche T-Turbo. Hope that answers some of your questions about it. I am very happy with it. When I had my Audi I said there was no way I would ever buy anything but a Audi again. I lied..
