I wouldn’t mind owning one, or two.

I love love love my C63 AMG. Best car I’ve ever owned. Normally aspirated M156. Mechanical art.

Next I’d like the straight-up AMG but my wife disagrees...

I have a 2013 Mercedes C300 4-matic with the AMG Sport Suspension Option. I also have a 2013 Audi S6. The Audi is twice as expensive as the C30, but it is explosively fast. The S6 was clocked by Car & Driver at 0-60 in 3.7 seconds. The Tuners say Audi lies about HP and the claimed 420 hp is really 480.

The Mercedes normal suspension is too bouncy and rolly for me. I always select the Sport (AMG) mode and that is really good. I go back and forth in thinking the Merc Sport mode is or is not better than the S6 Dynamic mode. The C300 is 0-60 in only around 6.0 seconds so really slower than the S6, but it is my daily commuter, high milage car.

Now looking at cars even faster than the S6. McLaren 570S or Ferrari 488GTB. Wait times are an issue.
