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?

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.

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
