Cl55 Vs Cl600
which one do you think will win?
CL55 - 500 hp 700 nm
CL600- 500 hp 800 nm
do you think that the extra 100nm of torque will make up for the extra 100 pounds or so on the CL600?

2003 CL55
The extra front end weight of the 600 will very likely be apparent in the 600, as it is in the current 600. I expect my CL 55 in the first quarter of next year to replace my 02 CL 500 Sport. The 0-60 times are going to be quite similiar between the 600 and the 55. the extra torque of the 600 will probably manifest itself at speed and the quarter mile times will favor the 600. I do not fo much driving over 80 mph, so the 55 suits me, especially given the new seats and its handling (ABC tuning) at normal speeds.

it depends on what you want..
Luxury (including silence, power, swiftness, prestige, etc) then definately go for the CL600.
Sport (including loud exhaust, loud engine, firmer ride, more aggressive look, etc) then definately go for the CL55 AMG
My guess is the CL55 will have an edge in the performance side because the gearing and tuning will be much more performace based. Quicker downshifts, a more dynamic adaptive throttle, etc.
