cl600 vs m5
Can a CL600 stock beat a M5 stock from a highway roll?

Driven both (06 M5 and 08 CL600), I'd say they are close...the CL600 does feel like a really heavy car compared to the M5.

I guess it depends how fast would you go. If it's up to 60-70 - they both should be close, but if to 100 or higher, then CL would start pulling ahead.

2010 E550 COUPE
WELL i heard on the M5 BOARD from a 60 roll it will eat a SL600 and destroy a CL600. But i just dont get how a V12 BIturbo with 420whp mabye more can loose to a 350tq M5 lol. The M5 beats the E63 from a highway roll most of the time though
