not sure...CL63 has the same engine isnt it? if CL63 doesnt have turbo (which i dnt really think so), C63 will be faster....cause body weight is lighter

Stock vs stock? About the same. Remember that ours is de-tuned.

I have driven on a race track a CL63 for many laps, this car is powerful but very heavy and soft, why are you asking?

Correct. The CL63 has the same HP as the SL I believe. With the ECU tune you will be faster than the CL63 due to the weight difference.

I have a friend who is about to buy one and I know he will want to do a comparison on 0-60 and rolling start, and I always like to know what to expect in advance. Both cars are stock.

Personally, I know the CL is much heavier and the brochures say it's slower to 60 but I was looking at real world experiences.

GMW, you should beat him both to 60 and a rolling start, that car is HEAVY.

The CL63/65 are great automobiles. Who cares if a C63 or whatever is faster. I'll take the CL any day.

a cousin of mine has one and i have only driven it a few times around town so all that i can say is that it does have 517hp i believe but it is larger and softer than our c63s. I haven't taken it on the highway or roads open enough to determine which is faster. I'm interested to see how they do on a couple runs so let us know.

I have driven one on the track too. Like Nick said, the car is very heavy but so nice inside. The C63 might beat it to 60 but after that I think the CL63 will start pulling.

I dont see how the heavier CL63 would start pulling from a C63 stock vs stock. Even having 517hp that car is a boat. But yes it does look very nice

Soldier, I might be mistaken, but the CL63 felt a little faster on high speed than the C63, yet alot smoother, giving the illusion it was not as fast. I should state, that it is only my impression nothing more.
