the E should be a bit better as its smaller, lighter.... but it's no C63. E is still a 4 door with power and TQ not something your gonna say I'm gonna auto-x and win.

Based on MY 2007 (and Car and Driver):

The E63 posts slightly better 0-60, 0-100, 0-150, 5-60 and 1/4 mile numbers. The CL posted better braking and skid pad numbers.

E63 weight is 4320, CL63 is 4789.

As tested prices E63 about 100k, CL63 about 140k.

The performance numbers really don't address the issue that they are essentially two completely different animals going after different markets.

E class
I would opt for a CL600
better power than CL63 and it'll handle better than the E
Plus it's cheap and easy to get another 100hp

Really?
Why not?
It's a better overall car than the others you're considering.

Interesting thread.

Comparing CL to E (doesn't matter the engine) is a sin by itself.

Comparing CL 600 to CL 63 AMG is bit more interesting.

I drove 08' CL 600 for 5 years almost every day. Since it's got stolen (by my wife), I purchased '13 CL 63 AMG few months ago.

If anybody interested, I can give you first hand comparison between those two.
