Who has driven this car? looking to maybe pick one up soon... they put down some serious numbers with a tune.. but i mainly want to know, does this car "feel" heavy? i'm guessing with that motor, no.


talking 2012 body here.

Yes, heavy and long but it has a strong engine to get to 0-60 in 3.5 seconds with twin turbos engines. For NA engines, they are a bit slower because they might not have 4Matic in 2012. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Definitely going to feel bulky compared to a C class but the power of the M157 easily moves this car in a straight line.

Some downpipes and a tune, slight drop with some wheels and the car is perfect. You won't be disappointed I can promise you that.

solekeeper

yea, that is literally all i want to do.

it's between the cls, and m6

My buddy has the CLS 63s and it is a BEAST! Add a tune and downpipes and it would be the ideal DD.

I would get one just for the 4matic for our winters but my wife says we have too many cars.

solekeeper

it is a great time to be a car enthusiast. don't be close-minded, you will miss out on some great cars buddy.

solekeeper

yea that is literally all you need dp, and tune. highway killer.


i like the *** of the m6 more, along with the interior, but i love the nose of the cls. tough decision

the cls is a big car, me personally id suggest e63s if you want more power out of a twin turbo engine.
those things are monsters and they arent as big as a cls

the more i think about it the more i really think twin turbo is the way to go, you can get cheap power compared to a NA engine

solekeeper

e is about 200lbs lighter than cls. or so i read..

the E blends in too much imo. talking 2012 body..

the cls headlights alone look awesome

Turbos are great when new and low miles. Then the consequences of the heat creep in and hoses start to dry out and fail, turbos are known to bite the dust, and oil leaks start. I will take NA power any day all else being equal.
