JUST GOT MY CL600!! incredible car and deal...EX E55 owner.....

I just got the car tonight.... a local guy had the car since new... Silver on Black....11,533 original miles...Extended warranty through 2010..... back seat never sat in.... MSRP with wheels and warranty was close to $160k.......the car has Distronic, Parktronic, Keyless, rear shade, rear trunk power, staggered OZ wheels , tire pressure monitor, phone .... incredible car.... he was advertising it local and no bites... he then put it on EBAY... bids were up to $55k... but nobody bought it. He simply needed to unload the car...so I paid $48,500 for the car... I love it ... it is smoother then the E and more comfortable ... the power seems to be more linear and more constant.. I am going to race the two cars tommorow... the E is up for sale so I still have it shortly.... Mercedes is the best damn car built period.... thank god for depreciation or this car would not be in my garage.....

Cl600 won by 2 cars

I raced both cars at night temps at 78 degrees traction on 1st run CL gets out of hole slower but catches and takes E55 by 2 cars
Traction off last 2 runs and Cl has less spin out of hole takes E55 by 2 again
all 3 runs were to 130 mph
one run at 40mph roll at the end did net the Cl with about 4 cars on the E55

congrats man....you have the car I want, my next Benz to say the least! I wouldn't be able to get rid of either car, I would have to keep them both, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Thats nice...I never knew the CL600 would be that fast against an E55...stock to stock..

So I guess i really should be finding a 600 V12 TT...=P

Keep us posted if you do more races!! Esp if you get a ECU upgrade with the 600!!
