However, the much added weight of a CLS despite the 100whp advantage makes for a good match-up with the STi I currently have configured.

I am also looking into a wagon. Anyone know the weight difference between a E55 wagon and a CLS 55?

Nobody likes people posting on forums without any kind of proof so I felt compelled to post this link.

2006 STi with stock turbo running 337whp and 400wtq this person ran a 11.7 1/4mile. My buddy has a 400whp one running low 11's with 120+ traps. Weight is the advantage in these cars.

The wagon is actually the best weight distribution in the 55 lineup. It is fast and very well balanced. Plus it is the ultimate sleeper

I second the wagon as the bada$$ way to go. Nobody does it, and I don't know why.

They're not as nice looking is why I avoid wagons. Ultimate sleepers though.

My father back in Europe certainly disagrees though. He has the 535d M Sport which is 284bhp and 429lb/ft of stock 3 literTT diesel. 0-60 in 5.8 and 155ltd is quite simply ludicrous in a car that weighs almost two tons, has a dog guard and delivers a real world 33mpg.

The wagon is my first choice without a doubt. They are hard to find and I really want a white one slammed on 20" BBS LM's. If anyone knows of a white one please let me know. Kiddy seats in the rear is a plus, not because I have any yet but to simply complete the effect.

Thanks
