I gotta tell you guys something you already know: EVERYONE wants to check out the 2012 CLS63!
I was really amazed by the responses I recieved from people today at the first cars and coffee I went to this morning.
I didn't really know what to expect, so I didn't really have my car very clean...but it didn't matter!
This thing is a people stopper! lol......
I spent a lot of time talking about the HP/TQ, the wheels and calipers, the CF inside........
and because of the forums I think I didn't look/sound like a complete idiot either.....so thanx to the forums!!

but if you guys have these events in your area's and are not currently going to one, I highly reccomend it! you'll have a really good time......
I barely noticed it was 100 degree's outside

oh, and I still really don't like those fugly **** Gt-R's either.....there were several there.........
also Ferrari's, Porche, BMW's.....
was a lot of fun....
didn't get many good pix though.....

I know: worthless with no pictures.......

Did you know that four out of five moderators surveyed recommend (and drive) a GTR.

hyperion667

nope.....

hmmmm.......it is a 9-10 second car right? in the 1/4?
looks are subjective, but it does haul the mail with ease eh?

Guilty

Do I see a threat? hahahahha lol

Funny....ran into a GTR this morning in Mexico...

hyperion667

haha, that's awesome freefall......what a hideous rear end on that thing....

Hype - I love the attention we get at C&C...I actually left my gopro going while I left the car for a while today and have 30 minutes of people checking out the car...
its pretty funny. I'll edit it and speed to to like a 30 second movie and post.

Glad you have one in your area too...fun as hell....

hyperion667

haha, I'll bet there are some funny comments if you can hear any.....
what do you find they comment on the most? I had lots of comps on the wheels in particular
I got a chance to walk past my car and listen to some folks speak about it; I just kept my mouth shut and listened........a lot of great feedback about this car! I had the hood propped open as well as the trunk...several people mentioned how big the trunk is too....

The CLS63 is definitely a neck breaker.

Graham,

Your car got more attention than just about everything, between the color combo and the P30 package it was a show stopper.

Great to meet you today, lets do it again next month!

Erik with the same color combo E63.

Turbo envy? Dude...love that '92 Talon...brings back good memories from back in the day.

hyperion667

lol......turbo envy..........haha.....

hyperion667

LOL.....Graham?? who is that??
are you confusing me with someone??
no worries.....

I guess partly because it's a new car and has not been seen that much yet...
the kids I parked next to in their AMG's didn't even hang out......but they were looking under the hood
planning on bringing my 550 next time, hopefully I'll have my R43's by then....

I wish we had cnc in upstate NY Would definitely love to do something like that

freefall

Hype - If I had 3 guesses what your first name was I would have gotten it.
34.5 - What part of upstate?

hyperion667

you can be the voice brother......
start one up!!
then you'll have one....
word will spread.......cars will come....
think about it: high performance drivers 'hear' about a cars and coffee event.....they want to go to!!

make one happen!

Nice run with Jason, Jason LOL.........


He isnt tuned just mid pipe right??

freefall

It his crew so he gets to be Jason...I can't say what they call me.....
Not sure...I will find out. I have more vids running against highly modded GTRs...Alex's for one.

tgoss

How does a tuned CLS do against "heavily" modded GT-R's

I have to say when I first saw pics of the new body style I couldn't even look the car seriously.... After seeing it in person, I couldn't stop looking at. Beautiful lines and details everywhere on this car

Vic55

Heavily modded GTRs are in the 130's for trap speed and some of the super modded ones as you know are much higher. A tuned CLS is gonna be around 126-127 trap speed max...

So a heavily modded GTR would eat a CLS- easily from a dig with AWD and up top too.

Rock

A "heavily" modified GTR (larger turbos, etc.) runs in the 8 sec to low 10 sec range and traps @ 145 - 170mph. A lightly modified GTR (tune and bolt-ons) runs in the 10.4-11.0 sec range @130+mph. I'm not sure if any CLS is keeping up with the big guns from AMS or Switzer.

Does no one chew Trident? Too young I guess.

Yeah, I would definitely love to. I'll see if I can start one up sometime next month. Thing is I don't even know my own schedule, so that doesn't help either.

@Freefall, in Rochester.

What's with the comparison with the GTR? The CLS and GTR are two different types of cars :P Let's compare the CLS to other cars in it's class I got "beat" by an A7 the other day. There were these 2 older gentleman in an Audi A7 3.0, and I didn't think they wanted a race. My car also had 3 co-workers, so I didn't want to do anything stupid. Sure enough, they took off at a light and a cop saw this, and pulled the A7 over. My co-workers and I got a great laugh out of it.

I ran again every GTR there is from stock to heavily modified. The GTR's launch control is crazy...can't touch it BUT I do start to pull on it at higher speeds and think I would win a rolling 60 - 130 run.
A heavily modified GTR won't even see me in his rearview after about 4 seconds.
My experience is from running against them at Willow from approx. 50mph rolling starts...
Vic - Alex's GTR is insane....
