2015 Mercedes-AMG C63 S First Test Review The Riot Act Unless you were involved in the Birkenhead, U.K., police strike of 1919, you've never actually been read the Riot Act, at least not in an official capacity. Because the act remained in effect for nearly 260 years and was copied by many British colonies, the colloquialism "read the Riot Act" is still used widely to suggest a serious scolding. Germany was never a British colony, nor did it institute a copycat act, but if it had, the Mercedes-Benz C63 S AMG would likely make liberal use of it. The Riot Act, ostensibly, was intended to empower local authorities to break up groups of rabble-rousers with force should they fail to disperse after a specific proclamation was made informing them of the invocation of the act. The modern automotive equivalent of such a proclamation would be, quite simply, the C63 revving its angry, snarling, twin-turbo V-8 at the gathered rabble of boosted six-cylinders and an un-boosted V-8 or two. With 503 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque courtesy of its S Model programming, the C63 S is unquestioningly carrying the biggest stick in the room. HOW BIG IS THAT STICK?
