It is the headers that give the extra 30 ponies...not the exhaust..best you can hope for from an exhaust is 5-10hp...maybe...

IS-F is slower (sometimes just as fast), RS4 is slower. A stock M5 E39 is slower.
Gabriel, a car that does 0-200km/h around 16 seconds isnt a slow car.

C63 has 457hp/600 nm , of course its a faster car.

Yes new M3 isn't a slow car but for that weight and power isn't too fast ok?
C63 has +37 hp but + 190 kg......

Yes it has more weigth but as you can see 457hp/600nm (+37hp/+200nm more than M3) is more important than weight issue , at least in this case.
With 420hp you cant expect more out of the M3, only way to improve the numbers is with DCT.
Lucky for me, driving is more important than just straightline speed and thats why I prefer M3 over C63. Top on that you get a highreeving engine.

+1....the M driver and the AMG driver strike me as too different animals.
If torque & straightline acceleration were the only thing I am interested in than I would buy a C63....WAIT...I am buying one...LOL...for my wife!
Once it arrives we will do a little real life test.
