E55 vs C63 Which is faster??
Discussion
Hi there! Welcome to the forum 
I've seen various videos of E63 vs E55. Off the line, the E63 is visibly quicker, however in rolling starts, the E55 pulls ahead due to the supercharged 5.5 V8 having alot more torque.
The C63 has less power than the E63; 450ish bhp vs 507bhp, but I believe torque levels are around the same. The 0-62mph figures quoted by Mercedes are identical for the C63 and E63.
Taking these figures into consideration, I would guess that off the line, in a C63 vs E55, the C63 would win. But a mid range challenge, the E55 would win.

The C63 doesnt really feel much different to the E55, but i feel some of the character has gone now its not supercharged, but the exhaust note is fabulous, whenever i drive a C63 i have the windows down just so i can hear it better!!
As for the best of the best AMG wise in my opinion, the C63 is the best Merc for many years bar none, even down to the throttle that blips when you downchange in manual mode, absolutely perfect, even better than the CLK Black Edition.
