The acceleration of the 55 engine has been described as being hit in the back by a bus when you floor it from a stop. The 63 engine builds torque over time so the push in the back isn't as big, but still big by most standards.

Supercharged engines tend to have more torque, especially in the low end, compared to naturally aspirated engines. The 63 engine is naturally aspirated, so it has to rev to get to its torque peak.

but overall both cars are just as fast

true autobahn bomber. Torque monster. I hope the japanese catch up in this arena of cars. Its really not a car that will ever sell well because of the price, but the japanese need to step into this arena to have dominated the entire market. ( large trucks as well need a little work, although they are getting much better)

guys lets not forget where the power is made on each engine, i just rememberd this myself:
the 6.3 needs to wait until near redline for all its power and most of its torque comes near the same RPM, where the 5.5s/c builds power much much quicker and tails off near the top end.
