go with suspension. it will look better, and give you better handling. best of both worlds.

That M3 in your sig can take your 550, i'm not sure what you're trying to say but unless you have the 55 you do not really have that much juice in your car. Do not get me wrong, its a great car its just not really that fast. A g37 can take on that car

I would say to go with power, looks are great but that car is sexy enough as it is. Maybe invest a bit into power and a bit into looks.

I wouldn't put more power into a BENZ. I have never had anybody pull up to me to try and race. Usually they are admiring the look.

+1. You can only use your power when you're racing (for me, this is only 5% of the time I'm driving). You can always look good parked, driving, or racing

Since when is the 550 faster then 55?? Where are you getting your facts from. The E46 M3 will take you in a proper race anytime, from a straight away, yes you will take it. Take it on the track road, you're done. Plus are we talking tuning or stock? G37 chipped with proper intake eats 550 like its nothing.

And i know its not a 350 you idiot, i drive one i should know how it looks.

That would look great with your black CLK550! I see you're probably going to buy riarm's CF diffuser for your birthday, but do you plan on getting genuine quad ///AMG tips? I think the ones you need are from the W211 E55, but they are hard to come by used. Just for consideration, I think you can get brand new E55 tips from MbenzNL (www.mbenznl.nl) for around $600, so watch out for people selling their used tips for $600+. Good Luck and please update us with your progress.

I dont track my clk550 i have an Evo for that, so thats irelevant to me completely, unless G37 is Fi it's not touching clk550 stock.
Not to mention you cannot chip G37, you can get bolt ons and then get a Tune and you are still no where near clk550 territory. Why ? because clk has about 110 more TQ and 50 Hp, only way to gain 50+hp on G37 is to go FI.

Fyi, after researching the topic a little. e46 m3, takes you on fresh start with a proper driver who knows how to drive stick. They come very close together, some say m3 takes it other says the 550. All depends on the drive, other then that they are close.
