Apples/Apples, the M177 V8 in the W205 C63 with 2 more cylinders and higher displacement should be able to output more than the S55 but at the end, what did Mercedes output with the M177? 469HP and 470 lb-ft vs. S55's 425HP and 406 lb-ft TQ. Higher, but not significantly higher. |

Nobody talks about steering feel and driving dynamics anymore.
It's all about 0-60 for these journalists.

Well to be fair, many people don't mind being slower. People choose a manual transmission for more fun while sacrificing speed. I don't think that's any different than choosing a car with better sound even if it's a little slower.

Something definitely not right here. The Mercedes gets out dragged by the Audi in a roll.
Few people are aware of the fact how underwhelmingly the EA839 2.9T with short stroke of Audi performs comparatively speaking, stock and tuned. The RS4/5 gets constantly demolished by the F82 comp doing rolling, which the C63S slightly edges out. To my personal experience in the past couple years. And evidences all over the place. No issue with the G80C performance though.

I'll concur that every Audi I've ever got behind the wheel of has been full as ditchwater, admittedly I've not driven a recent RS car, but I'm not sure I need to based on my own experiences and what I constantly read and hear about them. It seems to be if you wanted nice design and interiors they were the ones to go for, but BMW have caught them up at least with regards to the latest generation of interiors in the 3,4,8 etc |
