Probably a geographical & social difference.
Come to a major German or UK city and you'll find many fuckboys & douchebags in their C 63s doing real dumb stuff, and all have loud pipes too. They care about the AMG badge just as much as they do about the 4.0/6.2 V8. The crazy power of this boat of a C-class might still attract them, though.
I don't see those cars at the track, but I see quite a lot of AMG GTs being tracked. Bit of a different customer base for that one.
I could not have been any less interested in a C 63 than this one. Holy shit does it look uninspiring and akin to a C 200 AMG Line. But that's also due to melted-banana-look of the base car (and the previous gen sedan/wagon). Current-gen Merc design language is a miss, imo.
