v12 is no donkey. I mean think about it. It has 4 cylinders more than a v8, now throw two turbos on it... surely no donkey and opens the door to huge power with a simple tune.

Right. But how sad 4 more cylinders and can't beat the 55k stock? I find it sad that a simple tune is needed to beat me. Wow!! What a waist

Are you sure you raced a TT V12 and not the NA version? A stock CL600 TT will eat a CL55/E55/CLS55. A modded one will rape those cars. A stock CL65 will rape a tuned CL600 TT. A tuned CL65 rapes all!!!

But yes, a stock 600 is quicker than a stock 55K, regardless of what MB or the magazines state. The 600 cars were grossly underrated by MB, so they didn't undercut themselves on sales of the 55K AMG cars.
A tuned 600 is indeed quicker than a stock 65
A tuned 65 is marginally quicker, if any, than a tuned 600.
Case in point is my tuned SL600 that is the current 1/4mile record holder at 11.02@126mph. A stock SL65 runs about 11.50-.60@123-124, and a tuned SL65 runs 11.00-.10
Either way, it's quite obvious that the OP will never be educated by any of us on the V12TT platform. He can't even formulate a proper sentence, and has no idea how to use grammar.
So, OP....enjoy your new wheels.

How I didn't know I was publishing book to watch my grammar! I'm not denying the power of a v12. I'm just saying that a stock cl55 and a stock v12 = tie!! Don't be mad because this is a fact! Watch YouTube videos for your reference. Also check out ecabs comment here. You guys are on denial!!!! Losers!

Listen here: It's fully possible for a stock cl55 and a stock cl65 to be running side by side to 60-80 or so. Traction issues are the cause. At the 1/4, if the 65 is behind (it won't be), it'll be GOBBLING up the distance. In my experience, the 65, all things being equal, will trap between 8-10 MPH higher than the 55. While you MAY be able to hang from stoplight to stoplight in a quick 0-~60 jaunt, the 65 will pull the hell out of you on the top. Same goes for a tuned 600.
Respect the v12tt cars, or they'll make you look like a fool.

Well, I was right there with you, until the highlighted portion.
But yes, a stock 600 is quicker than a stock 55K, regardless of what MB or the magazines state. The 600 cars were grossly underrated by MB, so they didn't undercut themselves on sales of the 55K AMG cars.

and the concave wheels look great! i think they look better on the SL'S but still a better look on the CL'S than most wheel set ups i've seen.

CL55
Here's one...just look at the dash, CL55 has 200 on the dash, CL600 160----they are pretty even stock, the 600 has a lot more HP potential with a simple tune, however it is not an ///AMG car. no big brakes, no AMG performance----55=sport 600=luxury sure you can make a 600 a lot faster with less tuning, but the 55 has a lot more performance that comes with the car already. This was a hard choice when I was in the market for a CL, but I ended up with a 55 vs the 600 for the simple fact that its a ///AMG. Cheers
