What's MSRP for the coupe?

With the AMG performance pack or whatever the hell it's called I believe it said it reaches 0-60 in 3.8 seconds. Also the top speed is raised to like 175 I think.

Could that be the Black series version? 3.8s to 60 is SLS territory(?)

The C63 coupe seems to be with a quick google 0-60 in 4.4, w/performance pack 4.3 and BS version 4.2

The new C63 comes with launch control, which will get you below 4 sec. It also has a faster shifting transmission. Not that the older C63s are slow. You can also put a supercharger in the car and boost the power over 630HP at the wheel!

The only thing you will want to keep you eye on is the oil level. That motor uses a lot of it.

I think I prefer the sedan on the C63... With the money you save, you could splurge on the AMG development package. It should definitely be an excellent daily driver.

Honestly, I actually just like the look of the coupe, I feel like it has a cleaner feeling. But hell, if I had to, I'd take the sedan, they are both great.

I use my C63 as DD.

It's perfect DD except it's MPG.(considering I pay $9 per gallon, US owner shouldn't be much issue. lol)

I also had E93 M3 as DD but I believe C63 does it better.

Well, it's not as bad for me as for you, but it's $4 per gallon by me in Chicago which is one of the highest prices in America.
