His and Hers....

CLS needs mods bad,feels unresponsive and slow after Renntech S63TT.
G63 has the ECU done already.

I purchased 19 cars in the last 9 years from Knauz,5 Range Rovers and the rest a mix of various 600s,65s and 63s.
They are really nice to me.....
Btw,I used to work at Autohaus (Sales and F&I) in the early 80s.
Went back to buy a car in 2000 (CLK55) and got screwed royally on my trade in.
I took the car and never went back....

The M157 throttle does seem lazy from the factory---- once you get it tuned you will only say: WOW.

Congrats does your car have night view assist? If so, how does it compare to night view assist in the S63?

It does.
Since it uses Nav screen it is a bit less practical then S63,a slightly better contrast maybe,otherwise no difference.

Thanks for the response. One last question. Did the S63 have the B&O sound system? If so, how does the CLS stereo compare?

I have to make the decision of CLS63 or S63, only drawback with the S is that the new bodystyle is coming out soon.

I went nuts when ordering the S,Designo paint,interior and B&O of course.
Total waste of $$,IMHO,standard Harman Kardon sounds perfectly sufficient and satisfies my needs 100%.
It always cracks me up when I hear heated discussions praising some minuscule advantages in the quality of different sound systems in various cars.
In a theatre,or home it may make a difference but in a performance car?
AMG in particular?with performance exhaust?

I agree -- I think Harman Kardon is perfectly sufficient, I lower down my audio volume to a minimum and sometimes even turning it off when I'm going for a spirited driving.. The sound of the exhaust is more fun to listen to especially with throttle blips

Congrats on the new wheels and both look great.
I doubt that a tuned S63 would show its tail to a CLS63PP. You are probably taking it easy during the break in period .
I am sure that once tuned, you will love it.

+1

I mostly turned on the audio system mostly only when crusing the highway at near constant speed.
