CLK
On mbusa's website, the new clk55:
"The most powerful naturally aspirated engine Mercedes-Benz has ever offered in the United States lies at the heart of the CLK55 AMG Coupe. Eager to keep pace with your every command, this handcrafted 362-hp V8 cranks out over 375 lb-ft of torque and rockets the CLK from 0 to 60 in five seconds flat. "
Not too much more than the current clk55 + doesnt the new clk weigh a lot more?

...............I have a CLK 32k with boostkit that gives 345HP at the crank. My best o-60 time has been 5.6 secs. My car has more HP and weighs less than a CLk500. Also CLk32K has rear differential ratio of 3.07 while CLk 500 is 2.87. Other than MBUSA's claim of 0-60 of 5.7secs for the CLK 500, I don't think there is any chance that a stock CLk 500 will come close to my car.

Alright, so now it is clear that CLK32K can beat CLK500. My next question is, is there a chance for CLK32K with some extra modifications to beat e46 M3?
