Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG (W204) 2007-

[Waugh-terfall]

What I don't get is why Mercedes and some other sources say it's a 6.3litre, whereas others state that it is a 6.2litre which would make more sense because of it's 6208cc's IIRC. Could it be something to do with heratige? I.e. with the old 300SEL 6.3

And they had *(*)55AMG for the 5.4Supercharged...

6.3 looks better...

Yes, the 63 is in reference to the old 300SEL 6.3. If you made an educated guess, props.

Oh, and the automatic transmission thing. It's still a driver's car. It delivers comfort while delivering excellent performance. Yes, the pure automotorist would like a manual, but this almost eliminates the need for one. I'm more interested in the sequential gearbox they are developing.

The interior pic looks like there is a manual...?

looks more like an auto to me, merc badge on top and a display left of the shifter

This engine (and the newer 3.5 V6) are 4 valves per cylinder unlike the old 5.5 V8 and 3.2 V6. Its a very good engine in y opinion with excelent variable intake manifold design and vallve timing features. It also has a clever friction reducing cylinder liner. And just for fun the engine in some programmes deliberately causes misfires to create a more aggressive V8 sound to contrast its refinement.

How the hell do you get this information Jediali? You are a master!

Bah. I have a hell of a time finding engine masses (not "weights" - so archaic) online anyways.

Back to the cars. I cannot decide whether I'd have this, an M3 or a RS4. All are so good...

[Waugh-terfall]

Oh yeah, did I send you the A8L kurb weights?

[Vaigra]

Don't do it, Tom. Take it to MSN.

[Waugh-terfall]

I was intending to

If only such sources where as technically indepth..i get most of my info from journals and technically focused websites like autozine. Professoal engineer is particularly informative.
