2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 Track Video

CHECK OUT THE CTS-V VS. M5 VS. C63 COMPARISON:
http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=136636

Once you get your hands on a supercharged 556-horsepower 2009 Cadillac CTS-V, you know that you need a 500-hp 2008 BMW M5 with which to measure it. It's a matter of practical science.

Of course, there's a sizable price difference between the $59,995 CTS-V and the $86,675 M5, and we don't want to get our comparison results skewed by mere money. Maybe we should add the 507-hp 2009 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG to our science project. Trouble is, this Merc's $86,875 price tag still doesn't put the CTS-V under any pressure.

We had a better idea. We opted for the more nimble 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG. This compact sedan cranks out only 451 hp, but it weighs almost 400 pounds less than the E63, and its base price of $58,075 rings up about $2,000 cheaper than the CTS-V.

Is the 2009 Cadillac CTS-V a true benchmark in the super sedan category? Measured against the pure performance of the 2008 BMW M5 and the value of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG, we knew the truth would come out.

I'm sorry but inside line know nothing about how to test cars. they do these stupid tests instead of testing the car to see its feel on the public roads. all these stats are meaningless. and then they test luxury saloons like the 535i on a track? who the f is gna buy that to drive on a track?!

@zxcv123123 Price wise the C63 costs the same as the CTS-V, the M5 costs are more in line with the $65k C63 over the $100k E63.

@zxcv123123

but its still faster than both with the p31 package. ha!

car and driver review got the exact same car to do 0-60 in 3.9sec and 1/4 mile in 12 second flat

maybe its the Condition, and a better surface, or maybe better drivers somehow... although its an automatic

this car is a torque monster nonetheless !!!

thumbs up so everybody see the beast numbers in car and driver written review!!
