why did you buy a CL? was it for the attention? was it for the prestige? was it for its strong resale value ? was it for someone else?

i have my reasons but they are kind of weird.

Why ?

Beacuse its a great looking car and I can afford it.
Keeping mine till 100K miles then may get another.
Great daily driver car. You feel safe in a German Tank.

I like the idea of 600+hp ( with renntech mod) in a comfortable and classy, daily driver. The Bi-turbo V12 is easily tuned to supercar HP for several thousand dollars and this was another reason I got the car. I couldn't be happier with mydecision. Yes the Z06 is fast, but it's not as practical with only 2 seats and small trunk

See above. He speaks the gospel on a 600 tuned by Renntech.
