05 CL65
I'd bet on the lighter, more powerful CL65 if it is running a good rear tire. My car was pathetic 0-60 on the new Continental DW's it was wearing when I bought it and the stock times listed for all CL65's is not based on power, but traction of the stock tires. I'd bet a stock CL65 is capable of under 4.0 on something like the BFG's I'm running now (well not now technically, I have Blizzaks on mine right now) Yes, mine is modded, but I'm not talking about my 2.35 second 0-60 or sub 7 second 0-100mph track times I run on drag radials & MS109 either. Basically I'd bet on the car with the better rear tire, whichever that was of the two. Wouldn't that 7 speed be wonderful in a modded 65!!!!

The bi-turbo 63 is nasty with the 7 speed, but unless you get a head start due to the gearing/4-matic, that v12 will outrun you up top every time. The 600/65 cars just have a different level of MPH than the V8 cars do.

Stock vs stock the 63 will win. The 63 is also cheaper to modify and has better support for modifications. I love my V12 but will be, hopefully, upgrading to the 63 soon. Too bad no one has a 7 speed conversion to replace our 1980's era transmission.

The '12 63 is heavier than the '05/'06 65, has less hp and almost 150 lb-ft less.
The '12 63 might be faster until 50 mph but then the 65 would definitely crush it.
The story would be a bit different with the current 582 bhp / 664 lb-ft version of that 5.5 TT, thanks to the 4Matic the 63 would win on pure acceleration from 0 and I guess the performance would be the same from a rolling start.

Look at the trap speed of a stock 2012 CL63 Vs 2005 CL65. The transmission does amazing things for the car. The trap speed would indicate it would pull even harder up top than the CL65.

S63 COUPE M157
I've raced both CL63 Bi-Turbo (Performance Package 571BHP) and 2008 S65 AMG W221 (although not CL65, but same engine). The races were from about 80MPH all the way up to 150ish. I've got CL63 N/A.
While S65 struggled to overtake me and managed to do so only when we hit ~ 140, the CL63 blew by me already at 110-120. From what I have seen, the 63 was a lot faster..

S63 COUPE M157
I really doubt that a stock 65 AMG would be noticeably faster than a Bi-Turbo 63 in the same car. For example, E63S AMG would be a lot faster than a CL65 AMG.
Here is my race against CL63 Bi-Turbo, which is about as fast as 65AMG (stock), if not faster:
Here is a race between that CL63 Bi-Turbo and E63S with full exhaust:
STILL, would take 65 AMG over the 63 any day.

CL63 bi-turbo is quicker in the 1/4 mile and has a higher trap speed than a stock 215 CL65. The 216 CL65 is also slower than the 216 CL63 and the 216 CL65 has more power than a 215 CL65.

We did but not heads up and when I was coming around him(because I was following behind and didn't know where we were going) he hit his brakes because he had "Supposedly" seen a cop
and my radar detector didn't go off!
