I'm not sure that I agree with you. I can understand your point with respect to other MBs, but why design yourself into a disadvantage with competitors (BMW M3, Audi S4)? I imagine putting my foot into the C63 and finding that it has so much torque and power that the wheels spin furiously as I anxiously sit there unable to grip the road.

It's an interesting thought, though.
