C63 AMG or Corvette Z06

tom_48 · 03-09-2009, 02:07 AM

Which one would you choose?

My brother's is snoopin' around to find himself a new toy and I would like to hear some of your guys' opinions

Thanks..

C63 for sure.

Get an ECU tune and you'll be seein 500bhp+.

NewSong · 03-09-2009, 02:19 AM

Z06 would annihilate a C63 stock vs stock, or modded vs modded.

But if you want 2 extra seats, C63.

blue2fire · 03-09-2009, 02:20 AM

C63 FTW.
Although i must say that he would get a smoking deal on a ZO6 in these times.

c63

lee.minwoo_ · 03-09-2009, 02:22 AM

Id say the MB c63~ i've driven it before and it was amazing, but the z06 would outperform the benz...but for visual(classy, aggressiveness..etc), performance(AMG), comfort, and of course, the 4 door convenience c63 is hell of a great choice for me! theres just simply too much corvettes around...but im still stuck on which colors look best..i like the paladium silver..white, and brilliant black..but meh to each their own i guess~

C63 looks/sounds better stock imo. Better transmission (if you're not looking for a manual). Much better interior. Solid feeling. Infinitely more practical. Most likely safer.

stock. i think the car sounds even better when you're doing WOT upshifts. downshifts sound amazing as well.

i raced a member here (Sick Speed) in our C63. complete coincidence.

Yeah, my opinion was pretty much the same!

Thanks for the input, BTW

c63. i see corvettes all the time.

If you want to destroy everything on the tarmac, in every facet, in a car with a real transmission option with incredible head room, Z06, end of story.

The C63 is a nice attempt, the Z06 is a benchmark. If you need seats, the CTS-V over the C63 if you just want a sedan that excels in generating torque. Either way, they are pretty different, one is an extremely high performance sports car, the other is a sedan with a big motor with "sport" thrust upon it.

Z4MCJJ · 03-09-2009, 04:31 AM

I have seen both at the track and raced against both. The Z06 is a far superior track car...period. One is a sedan with a big engine, one is a true sports car with a big engine...you decide.

"A nice attempt"...at what? It's completely unrelated to the Z06.

If you want nothing but performance, go for a Z06. You'll be treated to a perfectly adequate interior, two seats, minimal luxury, minimal technology, a harsh ride, and minimal storage room.

If you want a car that makes big torque, seats an extra three people, has much finer leather, has useable space, and four doors, go for a C63.

Good idea considering a CTS-V, but that's not an inarguably superior choice to the C63 by any means. It's bigger, it has more power, but it's a different car. The Benz and Caddie feel different (I'm not talking out of my ass, we have a C63, and I've test ridden/driven a CTS-V). I like the steering in the C63 way more, even more than the e92 M3 I drove. I also like the sound it makes more than all the others.

montreal red · 03-09-2009, 04:43 AM

theyre not even the same type of car.... its like two different classes....

i'd go for the z06 since i have no kids and dont like transporting friends all over the place.

The C63 is a nice attempt at a sport sedan, still a class dominated by BMW.

Exactly, if you want a balls to the wall performance ride, the Z06 does every performance category BETTER than a C63. Whereas the C63 is really limited to putting your foot down and going straight. Sure, it turns, just not like a Z06, or an M3.

The CTS-V is much closer to the C63 than the Z06 is to either. The CTS-V is also getting some big respect in the handling department. Comparing those two at least makes sense.

You liked the C63's steering feel? To me its numb. Hmm, over an M3? I don't get it. Regardless, these two cars are completely different, but if I wanted the fun factor, Z06. Practicality, C63. Really, I'd just get an M3.

JW-Tuning · 03-09-2009, 06:42 AM

C63!

c0nstant · 03-09-2009, 06:59 AM

Z06 ftmfw. he wants a toy right? the C63 is auto, excessively tail-happy and quite honestly, i think it looks and sounds like its trying too hard - kinda like a girl who pretends to be drunk to get attention.

josephr25 · 03-09-2009, 10:58 AM

Most car reviews rate the C63's interior (European Car at least) as disappointing minus the seats. An M3's interior will be nicer overall but you will not have the straightline speed. I can't say anything about a Z06's interior but from pictures I've seen they've improved over the first iteration.

Overall I would choose a Z06; it's going to be way more fun than a C63. Probably more fuel efficient too.

MrRoboto · 03-09-2009, 11:02 AM

I wouldn't buy a GM now. Wait till they go into receivership and pick one up for ten cents on the dollar.

NewSong · 03-09-2009, 01:41 PM

C63 = Slushbox, heavy

Performance wise, the Z06 is better in EVERY way.

If you don't need the 2 extra seats, it's not even a question.
