newbee with a question... 03 CL55 or 03 CL600?

Im just looking around on different sites and which car would you prefer to own an 03 CL55 or CL600 and why? Im new to the MB world and have a strong interest in owning one some day. I like to mess around on the street and make a few trips to the dragstrip but the car would be a daily driver also so I would be looking for the more reliable car. What do you guys think is a better car and why? Also, stock for stock, which one is faster?

Based on the attributes of your personality posted, it sounds like there is no comparison....'03 CL600. Remember the '03 CL model year introduces twin turbines to that silky smooth V-12 platform. The '03 CL55 is a roots blown V8.

Stock for stock and power to power, the '03 CL600 is your choice. In order to address reliability, I'd highly recommend finding a CPO specimen. The next best thing would be a well recommended 3rd party warranty. Do a search and you'll find results regarding warranties.

Hope this is a good replying start for you.
