GTR is stupidly quick but it really does feel like driving a playstation. Every corner you take and every time you poke it you get the sensation that the car is holding it all together for you. I know the C63 flatters the driver as well (in ESP Sport mode) but there is a lot more drama there. Really makes you feel like a hero!!!
After driving it we all decided that for the money, we'd all have a C63 coupe with a performance pack (and youd still save £10k!!!)
Just watched Fast and Furious 5 again, Remember seeing it at the cinema when it came out and when the GT-R was on at the end and through the end credits i thought 100% i was buying that car, its so iconic with everyone and for good reason being so fast.
I narrowed down my choices to either the C63 AMG or the GT-R. In my mind the C63 had to win in a massive way in one section and that was the noise to have any chance of me wanting that instead of the C63.
I didn't really test drive the cars in the same conditions. The GT-R i drove on a track and it ****** on everything else there, i was passing Lambo's and Ferraris, but the sound wasn't good, interior was poor but it was really fast, gearbox felt abit, clunky if that sounds right, wasn't fast enough to change.
The C63 i took out for a test drive on the public road and it was very wet. I was still amazed by its performance but the noise sealed the deal for me.
I have had the C63 for a month now and i still think in the back of my mind should have i got the GT-R but the C63 ticks more boxes. I think if i got the GT-R after its initial wow factor with the acceleration i would have got bored of it except when hammering it.
I drive the C63 with the windows down all the time and even at low speed it sounds so amazing, turns me into a little kid when i go under a bridge by lowering the gears and flooring it.
People have said what happened to getting the GT-R or you could have got a GT-R for that money etc but i think ive made the right choice, bloody wish i could afford both cars lol!
