Anyone here been in this race? The numbers say 63 has it but anyone have real world test

Both stock, the 2012 CL63 should win.

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.

Interesting thanks guys. Mine as the amg performance package that gives 563hp and 664tq if that makes a difference

BlownV8

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.

BadaBingMan

Yea its amazing they were charging 16p to 180k with not many real upgrades

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.

Believe it or not my boy jus got a 2012 63 with the amg package and wants to race, only thing with him hes not a driver so I'm sure I would win the race its jus a matter of time before he sees this post a give his 2 cents!

Dr Matt

Well MRCL run him and lets hear those real world results the OP was looking for!

BadaBingMan

maybe your boy is who MADE the post lmao and was waiting for you to put your 2 cents in haha

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.

MRCL65AMG

LMAOOO You got me Chris!

BadaBingMan

Blownv8 he will learn very soon that the 63 WILL bust that a$$ lol

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..

ArmenPhotos

W221 S65 is much heavier than C215 CL65

BadaBingMan

Thank u sir. Mrcl65 refuses to realize the numbers dont lie lol

Say whatever you want, the V12 Twin Turbo is still king of the hill when it comes to bad a.. engines.

BadaBingMan

it is definitely top dog, just not the fastest lol but on the autobahn at top speeds I know it will kick the 63s ***

GMBALL

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.

MRCL65AMG

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!

BadaBingMan

here we go..... see me at the track lmao
