- You know the form by now: driving on road and track. Carving the neat, fast line. Then pulling mahoooosive slides, and telling it how it really is with all three cars. Doubt we'll have more fun in 2012.

Damn I'm watching this video in 2023 and it's 11 years old. The production quality is insane for the time. I feel like I'm watching a modern youtube video just featuring older cars. Nicely done.
Agreed, well said.
Agreed!😅
Not enough praise goes to that glorious sounding 4.0 V8 in the M3. A truly great motor that sounds divine.
G. W. Because the 6.2 V8 exists
it's 4.4
@eMBino, no it’s a 4.0 NA V8 in the e90/92/93 M3.
@@williamdurston4848 nope, you're wrong. the GTS has increased engine displacement to 4.4 L.
It is because C3 was way more brutal and mask M3.
The Merc is just amazing to me, it has a great presence, it is still very quick, pretty much as quick as the M3, but it still has all the comfort and luxury the M3 GTS stripped away, and is better than the other two on the road.
So, yes it's a bit slower than the GT3 RS4.0, but who cares, with this sound and these looks :)
To be honest i wouldn't take a car over its sound, you just get new exhausts to create a better sound ?
Ryan Meek Well, if the stock sound is great, and you can still improve it with better exhausts, it becomes even better than an average sound with great exhausts :)
Yeah I would probably take a normal M3 over an AMG C-class
Ryan Meek I personnally wouldn't, but that's my opinion, both are great cars ^^
Im sorry but i find the looks and the ultra high revving naturally aspirated 4.0 Flat-6 a bit more enjoyable.
That c63 black is a jaw dropper
The Porsche is perfection, but there is something about that Black Series.
***** M cars are good however that 6.2 v8 in the black series is a MUCH better engine.
***** You are an idiot.You would be a Fiesta or Clio driver for sure.Fact is they are all good.
Touch of class.
Porsche have the best engineers; BMW have the smartest marketers. The BMW is way over-priced, but that's sensible - you can charge that, so why not charge that, if people are daft enough to pay it? GT3s meanwhile, are immediately sold on the secondhand market for much more than they were bought new for - so why doesn't Porsche put the price up? It's not like they're making anywhere near enough of them to satisfy demand - and that keeps them seeming 'special' so I can see why they do that (however much I dislike it) - but why not just bung on another 50,000 Euros?
@Robert Bowling - yeah, there is about 300kg about that Black series. They are just too heavy. If they make them lighter one day, I will sit up and pay attention.
C63 Black series totally amazing, love the sound
come on man, Mercedes will never ever will beat a that gt3, Mercedes== heavy ass car.
+ruben franko nowadays mercs are lighter. look at the a class c class cla ... u talk bullshit. if your brain is one dimensional and u want light sports car its ok. i am more versatile and see otehr attributes. the c class with a 6.2 liter engine just knocks the shit out so why go for a bring me workshop?
+ruben franko how about Mercedes AMG GT?
ruben franko
mercedes just made the top4 in the 24hr race... and beat the beemers and audi. what u say now?
i say... Im going to buy one of those bad machines
I love how refreshing this car review video is in 2020.
Still the same in 2021
@@s1mpleenigma311 and 2022
In 2022 you can say this was the best era of engines. 6.2 liter amg is the crown😍
And 2023
And 2024
I watch this episode every other week. The competition: thrilling. The scenario: joyful. Chris Harris presentation and voice: amazing. We should have more of this.
As a owner of a C63BS, and previous CLK63BS, I can say without a doubt that the GT3RS is my dream car.
You own this car in gta I think
@@paganizondasroadster1660 Don't be a douche. Here's my car when I sold it. New is car is a GT3. czcams.com/video/XFBTM9h6TU0/video.html
Did Chris know he was producing one of the most legendary reviews? What a great one to revisit.
Benz is a boss to me
S1ick10292 even the bible says "follow the star"
m3ntl3g3n You win the internet for the day, sir!
m3ntl3g3n comment of the year!
That true my guy is that boss
Same, Merc is the Mafia car
C63 black all the way
mercedes c63 is a great car !
irakli ikanwli for S Class, S Class coupe, SLS, & AMG GT only
just lots of squeaks and rattles, but if you can live with those daily, then it is absolutely a great car.
AMG forever! this video has my top 3 dream cars all in one haha.
Considering how much the AMG offers besides speed, I would take it over the other two. The sound, the looks, the power, and the luxury put the other two to shame when you see nothing was sacrificed. If you had to drive one everyday you would end up changing to the Black.
It's so cool looking back at this video now. The 997 GT3 RS still stands out, even though we have the newer generation now. And no one destroys rear tires as well as Chris Harris!
Mercedes every time.
+William Dryden He is trying hard to let the Porsche win. If you don't know how to drive a heavy car say you don't and let people who know drive it. Mercedes everyday
+HisWireless Karangunyu nah dude a heavy car just doesnt handle as well it has nothing to do with skill
Vincent Haller Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. I for one think Mercedes even if heavier and slower in the corners is still fast enough for me. Mercedes is cute and very popular in these parts of the world.
vw bettle no porsche
@@hisajabness6946 its been 4 years since you made that comment. what brand do you like now? whats your favorite of the 3. and then whats your favorite brand period overall
That C-Class Black Series is something else......
Porsche smashes everything in its class, that's just how it is
//////AMG
this was by far the best car review i watched for a while and im a car freak watching every episode of almost every car show out there. camera angles , noises of cars and chris's driving skills was so much fun to watch. thank you for that proper review
Can't believe he sold that 4 liter and bought a 599
Mistake
The RS i'd imagine, is a bit hard to live with. Fast car but far from practical.
well i mean the 599 will be expensive to maintain and alot thirstier
chase lupex yeah but at least the 599 sounds good and not like a blender
He probably got a good deal selling it. They're worth way more than they did new, the 4.0 is now a collectors item
Porsche usually wins. This is no surprise since they're more performance oriented anyways. They are like race cars for the streets.
***** I didn't know that.
***** Yet, the 911 Turbo S is the faster car.
+TechStyle but a porsche with a turbo isn't really porsche any more ... #welcometothev8Twinturboera
+Nicolas Roulin How wrong you are. Porsche has been using turbos in racing since the 80's... 956/962. The next series of 911's (2017) will be flat 4's with turbos. You can thank the new CAFE rules for that.
Bruce Hochstetler
In racing yes but not in commercial cars like a GT3 rs or GT4.
this is the 3,189,822 time i watched this video. All three of these cars are dream cars if mine!
Wasiu Adeyeye you not gonna get one
ST-BY Thanks i'll remember that when i take out the M3 and RS for spring. Let me go park the C63 in the garage before it snows again.
im not fun at parties because i calculated it would take you 141 continuous years of viewing to watch it that many times
mr dinkleberg lmaoo
same :) Porsche my favourite though
Chris rules! His reviews and driving skills are the best in the biz! I almost don't care what he is reviewing, its all very well done and entertaining!
The W204 C63 AMG Black Series is, hands down, one of the meanest, most vicious cars Germany ever made! I love that car excruciatingly! Simply one of the greatest.
But the Porsche 911 deserve all the respect in the world! Both the C63 and 911 GT3 are legends in their own respects.
Can't say the same about the M3. That car lost it's luster to me years ago. The ride is hard, the steering is tough, doesn't seem like a car you'd feel comfortable driving everyday. The M5 has the same problem over the E63 S. While the E63 is heavier, it's faster, more powerful, has a damn good all wheel drive system (the W212 E63 S starting from 2014 is the first E63 with 4Matic), on top of being more comfortable, having more fluid steering and, in my opinion, better looks.
I think if you want hard, competition style racetrack car, BMW may be for you, but if you want a refined, easy going daily driver with a bad attitude, that you'd feel comfortable taking on long trips and daily commutes, AMG may be in your favor.
But cars like the M6 and X5 M will keep MB and Porsche busy for years.
Want sport? Look at Audi :)
Kevin Metz Everything you just said while comparing the Mercedes and BMW relates to the C63 AMG (NON BLACK) and M3 (NON GT) model cars. Just letting that be known.
My man just wrote a essay on German cars 😂
This is the best Chris Harris video of all time.
We didn't know this in 2012 but this is peak bmw, peak mercedes, peak porsche......
the black is just the best sounding car ever made (for my ears :) ) thanks for that one amg
Yeah the C63 black is a future classic.
Yeah and now the 911 is worth over half a million dollars.
I feel so bad for the guy LOL but I doubt he can't buy it back now with the TopGear cash flowing in
Mate had a 911, cayman and now c63..... sorry I won’t be going back to porsche unless it’s a Macan GTS to be practical
@@mray9305 k
These old vids are the best. Creepy music, bits and bobs, and that circuit.
Years have gone by, and yet this is still the greatest video ever produced by Neil and Chris Harris on Cars - And that's considering the outstanding videos that have come out since. I didn't know it was possible to miss somebody else's car, but that GT3 RS...
You can really see Tiff's influence on Chris once he starts narrating the M3 lap. As if we all aren't Tiff fanboys!
2020 and the C63 Black Series is still my Dream Car...
Fantastic ... Really enjoy Chris's reports
What a beautiful track along side the sea there. Fantastic
Beemer looks phenomenal and it's the prettiest of the three imo. Just an amazing looking and performing car, and it doesn't have that silly bodykit on like AMG. It's just spot on. If I had to choose just one it would be GTS no doubt.
The AMG Black, gosh :O
Watched again in 2015. One of best automobile video ever. That Chris Harris man.
You said it, I'm hooked to his videos. He's got a great blend of fun and information while not being dry and annoying. Kudos to him!
This was the video that made Harris my favorite auto journalist. Anyone else?
Epic video in every respect! Been waiting for Evo to do a M3GTS vs C63AMG Black twin test and I've been waiting too long (althoguh I'm pretty sure I could write it myself!). Although the others are viable alternatives to the GT3RS, they're in a different league really in terms of outright pace. As much as I love your car Chris (and uber kudos for featuring it and driving it balls out in this vid), I'd have the Merc personally. Love that engine.
I love the sound of that flat six. It's such a glorious tune.
I can watch and listen to Chris all day . Thanks Chris.
CH must be sorely regretting selling his 4.0 before the prices skyrocketed..
The C63 is an insanely cool car!
Nice sunny day on a awesome track, with three very special machines. A car enthusiast's dream day.
great driving skill as always!
How could anyone choose anything but the Porsche between these 3? I know the Merc sounds bonkers and has a great personality about it, but Porsche's are just soooo beautiful and impeccably engineered. You could buy a GT3 and know that you'll easily have that car for the rest of your life if you look after it the way it deserves :)
it's not exactly the same price range
What kind of stupid are you? Porsche is a great car, but so is the Mercedes AMG. BMW M is alright. I would personally take the AMG over the Porsche because it has more personallity and is less "wow-bam in your face". And it has a way better sound than the Porsche.
Because its just to good that it's not fun to drive
I so agree with you man. I LOVE M3's...but something about that Porsches drive me insane. :)
Porches are to good of a car it's a all rounder
Almost not fun to drive
I loved this review so much I recently bought a C63 black series! Great work Chris.
me too!
Nice job! Awesome cars and lovely landscape.
Harris always goes to the point of the comparisons, he's brilliant. Superb video
I really do love the Mercedes :D
Nice
As I've stated over and over and over; Chris Harris makes watching reviews fun and informative again... (from a professional). Cheers to you Chris!
Thank You for the review Chris. As the owner of a standard C63 AMG, I still enjoyed the video. Regards JB
The C63 could do a faster lap time by shifting like in the GT3.
Harris is the BEST car-journalist ever. But...I think admitting with too little fare that the car he drives may also be a car to which he gets to the limit better.
I envy this guy. He does have one of the best jobs in the world. Just behind the Top Gear blokes, of course.
Great video I personally would have the Black series Merc
Excellent downshifts!
I wish these brands still make these fantastic machines. Looks and the engines are 💯% on point.
C63!!!
Chris harris is the best motor journalist in the world.
C63 AMG has the best motor in the world.
R.I.P BMW M3
what a masterpiece of work! thanks for this one!
These are the car reviews we need. Not these 7min overviews we get now. With Chris behind the wheel and Neil behind the camera, we get it all.
Honestly, I couldn't choose if I had the money to buy all 3. Personally they all look, sound, and perform amazingly to me so I preferences over one another in each category is by half a hair width. This is how I think of them though:
BMW: Looks
Porsche: Performance
Benz: Sound
All would be outright fun in their own ways!
**my preferences**
On a good lap these would've easily run:
GT3RS: 1:35
C63AMG: 1:38
M3GTS: 1:38
Respectively; but the fact he's just doing 1 hot lap in each car, and able to lay down the times he did, is still incredibly good IMO. I find it amazing how great of a driver Chris Harris is though. I'd love to see him in an F1, GT, or Prototype racecar.
I would say BMW looks and fun to drive
Porsche fastest
Merc sound name just bonkers lol
German cars
Golden ages of true fun,brutal analog cars🔥🔥
Great job Chris! Brilliant comparison!
I will take C63 Black series any day what a car, nice sound and lot of Power
"I've just learned to live with it" - what, your Willie or your gt3?
Chris Harris one of the best presenters who really has a lot of fun with his reviews
Great vid, I like Chris - makes it interesting!
Thanks...
wow this video is 2 years old already!
Just revisited it, and said the same thing to myself
Make that 3 years.
@@1010thechamp make that 6 years
Hedser Wijbenga make that 7 years
The merc is just amazing.. for me the best of all three
wow what a nice driver you are.. nice videos chris
Bravo!!!!! What a great review!
mercedes is the best :D
The M3 GTS with the Mercedes M156 motor and the manual transmision from the Porshe
That would be the perfect car.
Sveinn Helgason would be interesting
One of the best car videos of all time
What a scenery over the mountains :)
wish i could have this benz...
M3 🔥🔥💯
Great video man....Thanks.
Excellent choice, the GT3 RS 4.0
m3
GT3 all the way.
I love all three of these. I can't chose between any of them. I love them.
11 years from this clip...still going în 2023! Such a bunch of greatest hits
"THE BEST OR NOTHING" MERCEDES
Sure ;)
BMW :)
nothing then.
The best!
It’s nothing
We see a few grand in tires destroyed in every episode. I don't understand how they get access to all these expensive tires lol. Can i has some new tires too?
Well when they ask to borrow the cars the dealers know they are performance cars and that they will abuse the tires so they give them extras :-)
That's why you have to pay for /Drive now....
sweet driving
The black series will never get old!!
I agree the M3 is sick, who can deny that? But come on, its a Porsche.
Great video I loved all three cars !
I agree with Trumanhw, Chris Harris is by far the best car-journalist there is. I enjoy his videos and interpretations of the cars he is testing the most, the reason being is his similar character to myself, as well as a similar driving style. It is great in this respect as I can expect a similar experience for myself. I also must say this too, the 911 GT3 RS 4.0 is by far one of my favorite cars, even if they sell here used for $330,000+!
Amg ♥️♥️♥️💣
C63 AMG BEST CAR EVER
Really good video
