Description: That's because for the same money you get a C63 AMG around 200 hp worse off than the 200-mph American muscle car. The 1km drag race does seem like a non-event given the awesome power of the Shelb...

200hp difference... But i will still take the c63 any day. American and german cars are two different vehicles
+7mph faster even with a clueless driver launching and shifting the cobra crappy is a huge win. If I piloted the cobra, used launch control, and powershifted, I could probably pick up 5-7mph on the big end. This driver did lousy. +12-14mph is 200hp
But slower in everyway and more expensive. The badge is nicer aa is the interior though so you've got a point about brand image and interior but for performance and bang for the buck, the Shelby back hands the c63
Racing 2 cars with a 200 hp difference certainly doesn't make the C63 a pretender... I'd take the C63 over the Mustang every time, it's a better all around vehicle.
Fuck England. You're movie is probably full or ugly bitches and slack jaw ass teeth.
@matthew moeller If you are talking about a/c current specifically Thomas Edison was vehemently against it because his company only used DC. Westinghouse (American) invented the modern use of A/C current even with Edison working against him.
I'd chose mustang just because how much cheaper but better performing it is
Matthew it's not them that blocked it its google because if copyright I don't know why they word it like that.
Yeah its a uk show they didnt even use launch control on the gt500 and it still blew the merc away. Asses
In succinct transitional turns, the gt500 may not have an IRS but its sra is very good and the car remains very stable, especially because of the 3.27 rear. The zl1 and c63 are actually tail happier because of shorter gearing. Watch motortrend comp
I love how the trash the mustang and say it won't handle a corner. If wager 8/10 drivers/racers/enthusiasts in the world would not have the talent to maximize the gt500's limits. 1g and 101ft 60-0? Ya that just won't do I guess, zl1 is 1g and 103
7mph is a huge difference considering the launched the Shelby like crap. 4.1 0-60? Every test I've seen shows 3.4-3.8 seconds. Yes I know it's a runway but every test with the merc has shown 3.7-4.1 seconds and they ran well in the merc.
No matter how sophisticated Mercedes is, the roughness of the Shelby puts a smile on my face every single time I drive it. Before I got it, I was looking at a few Mercedes cars and now am REALLY glad I made the right decision by buying this wild, unsophisticated, crazy car. Can't drive it in the snow, but oh well, global warming is making winters shorter ;)
Either that or i'd put my money on a 5.0 S/C falcon with the 6 speed Tremec, the true blue Aussie coming out in me there haha.
Tbh the C63 is no pretender. Though I appreciate the Shelby's supercharged horsepower, it is somewhat of a blunt instrument. The Shelby is a monster. But the C63 has a sophistication and IRS architecture to back it up.
im suprise ford has a muscle car that can reach 200hp so i wonder how the 6th gear is in that car
So they uploaded a video to YouTube, an American company, using their Mac or Windows box, both American companies, powered by a/c current discovered by Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison, at, you got it an American company. Then block us. Thank you.
C63 a pretender? Biased much? Car people appreciate the C63. Look how well it did on MT best handling competition.
Well the manual Shelby has still beaten the stupid automatics...although I still love the mercedes
And for once the euro plate on front doesn't look like ass actually blends into the stripes lol
Really crappy pick. Theses cars are so awesome to look at in reality
Love AMG Mercs for there madness, and this fits the bill! I really hope the new e63 doesn't go AWD!
@tyler-i agree. Something about the C class doesnt stick with me either.
Nice jb, I like her. It's a big world with lots of opinions so no shits given.
I hate jessi lang
I'm pretty sure Jesse Lang and the edmunds crew partners up with motortrend to do motortrends car of the year events but I could be wrong, she's in the videos on both edmunds and motortrend though so I'm guessing very valid joint venture
Edmonds inside line is pretty credible and par for the league, at least they are on the thousands of other automotive tests and comparison's they do.
@Alex. But keep in mind, that's also MotorTrend that your quoting. Not exactly creditable
Yup, if they tested the $62,000 version with the track and performance packs, it would be faster around most circuits than the c63. In motortrends best drivers car competition, the gt500 did great against the c63 coupe there as well. C63 sounds sick
In France itll cost you about 100k$
