Other than that though, good point?
The C63 AMG does not offer a manual transmission option or have the same poise on the limit as the M3. So for buyers like me, it's not even an option as a replacement for a M car.

If this is all that matters to you is "HP, torque and...acceleration numbers", the M3/M4 is not the car for you.

The C7's strong aftermarket support for straight-line speed is why I mentioned it. If you are concerned solely with horsepower, torque and acceleration the aftermarket will take care of you.
