Why you only keep the M5 for one year?

Major difference is a 55 walks a 63 any day of the week. Other than that, there is not much difference. Sorry 63 owners

Guys..I have driven both cars. I have seen many time slips from many different tracks across the country. Every track is different. I read about the E63 that ran 11's BONE stock. Come to Palm Beach (MOROSO) and run that car, and you will not see a lower pass than 12.50. At the end of the day, A 55 is faster than a 63. Hands down. If you remember, I used to own a 550. I made the decision to get a preowned 55 (great deal by the way) over a brand new 63. Major reason was due to the mods. I know I will get s@*t for this, but this debate has been beaten to death a hundred times over. By all means, I am not taking anything away from the 63, but a 63 is a "big block" motor with very little tuning opportunities. Spray it , and you have a different animal.

... and the guy in my warehouse who drives a modded civic will walk a 55...

if you read the guys q, he asks, whats the difference, not "which is faster"... there are a lot of interior upgrades on the 63, as well as the totally different 7 speed transmission, to name a few

its always the cls55 owners (not all) who jump up to talk s%t about the 63s, (as well as claim how they got good deals as to the reason for getting them)

its pretty sad how you guys like to talk s%t when the cars are so similar... i think its probably an mbworld thing... or could be just an east coast thing....

I thought you were just kidding around at first, but I guess not.

Weather conditions and DA will affect 55s as well as 63s.....

If you run a bone stock CLS55 vs bone stock CLS63 in Moroso and the CLS63 couldn't break 12.50s due to elevation and weather conditions like you're saying, then I doubt the CLS55 would as well.

Again........ here in California at a DA of 3000 ft, we ran stock E55 vs stock E63 at 3 different tracks with different cars, and every time the E63 beat the E55 in E.T. and trap.

But then again, at -1200 ft DA and 40 F temperatures, the E55 did beat the E63 most of the time by about 0.2 seconds (but the E55 had better and wider tires). Density Altitude makes a big difference when racing. It can make an E63, for example, go from running high 11s (or even low 12s) to running low 13s!!! Yes, almost one whole second difference

In the end, both cars (in stock form) are just too close in performance to decide which is quicker or faster. But once you mod the 55, then there is absolutely no contest: the 55 will easily destroy a 63 (or so at least a Twin Turbo solution is reached ).

congratulations and welcome, CLS is indeed a very fine automobile, while the M5 is a beast, and just seems like the streets crave for it, the benz is candy for the eye. Detail is absolutely not over looked

as for the difference between the 55 and 63 we get them both here at work, while we dont get a good chance to take em on an open road, the upgrades on the interior are there. and man just the 8 value increase in the badge behind the car looks so damn good haha. Both are dead sexy cars, I look forward to jumpin in them.

But Also I doubt that the guy to get a 63 will care much that he could have saved some money and gotten the 55 to be just as fast. Im assuming the clients that purchase the 63 are getting them for other reasons.

In regards to the interior, I know the background to the gauges are different (white vs. black) and the paddle shifters. Did I miss anything else?

Zod

Differences from what i recall:

• Steering wheel
• Shifters are on a 55, but are behind the wheel and not seen like the 63's.
• The speedo is differnt
• Brakes (55 is bigger 8pisten vs 6)
• Exhaust mufflers
• Engine
• Transmition (gear box).
• suspension might be different need to double check..

Non of the above has shown to hold an advatage over a 55 so far just by reading...
In a respective way its the same, but taken from a different angles

The new gear box thats coming out might stir things up a bit though

I thought the 63 had slightly bigger rotors?

chutia

to best of my knowledge, the brakes on the 55 are from the SL65, 8 piston and larger surface contact area. AMG decided to use these (more expensive and "over" spec-ced) brakes on the 55 vs the newer 6 piston ones on the 63 as the newer ones had not yet been cleared for production use on the 63AMG series (they were also cheaper to produce and maintain). At least that's the story according to the tech maven/head of shop at the big MB dealership I take my car to.

blackcls63

Its pretty normal for the tech maven/head of shop at MB to give you information biasing you to believe your car is a bugatti veyron...

the guys at my MB service center do the same about my wifes slk350, saying its technically better than an slk55 in terms of ride etc.

chutia

copy all, bro. Frankly, makes no diff to me. The car is the car it is, regardless of what the shop maven says. I've had no braking problems or failures (at least so far except for the well known squeaking problems endemic on the AMG brakes).......so who cares..

blackcls63

its kinda like saying "saale ne chutiya banaya"
