 |  The secret behind C63 AMG?? Look at this data from Sport Auto that i have gathered: C63 CLK63 B.S POWER: 457hp 514hp TORQUE:600nm 630nm 0-100km/h 4.4s 4.5s 0-200km/h 14.0s 14.6s low-RPM Flexibility: 80-120km/h in 4/5/6 gear: 3.9/6.2/8.3 4.5/6.7/8.9 Weight: 1772kg 1745kg I don't understand why C63 which is the weakest AMG car with 6.2L engine and also not the lightest(here you see CLK63 B.S was lighter) is still the fastest and most flexible AMG car with 6.2L engine.It is a mystery to me! Up to 200km/h it is almost as fast as the M5.Is it really 457hp or like R35 GT-R is it underrated?maybe like GTR, C63 has 457hp at wheels and more than 500hp at the flywheel!! CLK63 Black Series was supposed to be the fastest AMG with 6.2L engine.It is lighter than C63 and also has more power and torque with the same gearing but C63 is still faster!! I can't understand why C63 is even faster than CLK63 B.S??? because C63 has no advantage over CLK63 B.S. Interesting is the fact that the cheapest AMG car with 6.2L engine is the fastest 6.2L of them all. What makes this car so fast?Anyone can shed some light? |

 | Just checked the test data of AMS! The Black Series is about 1.6 sec faster to 200 km/h there. Probably, we have to consult different terms of weather etc here. Would be interesting if there is any test of both cars, where all terms were the same. Nevertheless the gap between both cars isn't large.

For C63 temperature:9 degrees pressure:1015 mbar For CLK63 B.S temperature:22 degrees pressure:1018 mbar But still C63 is freaking fast.The main reason is yet unknown  By the way if you have the AMS test of CLK63 B.S, could you post it here so that i can compare them on my own? | |

 I think it really is because of the different weather conditions or tyres…
