Congrats!

Absolutely love the car; great contrast on the interior.

As for your username, that should be your vanity plate. In NY, you can space it, too: B A L Z . It would be so appropo.

I love it...this car for me has it all...minus AWD...it's an animal...also the handling is great. The ride is more aggressive than the Audi so you do feel everything on the road but the ride is still fantastic.

Congrats Balz, that is a nice ride. I've got an RS4 right now and was thinking about the C63 but am getting a GT-R instead.... what are your likes/dislikes compared to the RS??

the GT-R is nasty...that's going to be some good times. The C is more fitting for me. The RS4 is a fantastic car and I loved driving it but there were things about it I could not understand...like...why they put such a mooshy suspension in a car like that, and the transmission was jerky and rough from 1-3...all said and done I could live with those things however, when I took the C for a drive it was clear that it was the car for me to be in starting with the exhaust note...

Test drove the M3 and C63 last week, the former was way softer than I expected and the latter was harsher drive-wise but the power was incredible. How is the C63 on long trips, the ride is a bit rough for a highway cruiser. M3 ride was amazingly compliant, almost too much so for me.

I've found that the car is a bit harsh on the bumps but on the highway it's a great driving car. I have no problem sitting in it for a few hours. The first weekend I had it I drove 300 miles to my mothers house and thought it did pretty good...My RS4 was a little smoother...I have not driven the new M3 yet...my friend ordered one so when it comes I'll take it out and make the comparison.
