Mercedes is a little faster in straight line but the BMW will out run the Mercedes throught turns.

My assumption would be the 545i. It's engine puts out 330 hp and 332 ft·lb, compared to the CLK500's 302hp and 339 ft·lb torque. With the BMW transmission and suspension, the 545i might be faster. But only a real life test would reveal the truth.

clk500 is faster, don't forget guys the 545 is a bigger and heavier pig when compared to the clk so the extra hp really wont matter. im not talkin car lengths lol but the clk500 will beat it
