Mod Potential for the CLK63?

the engine size is increased, however compared to the 5.5L S/C engine, they dropped forced induction, so how well will the new CLK respond to mods?
btw, that car is hot....
perhaps dropping some kleemann mods on it will turn it into another CLK DTM AMG??

what are you thoughts?

Car already has a lot of power... the problem IMHO is putting the power to the ground effectively. What's the point of all that HP and TQ if you're still spinning in 2nd... and it's not like a sports car where you can still spin and accelerate. With ESP it just starts to bog the engine down. I know you can turn the ESP off, but it's silly to have to do that everytime you get into the car.
I personally was disapointed of how inefficient the car was with all that power.

perhaps a decent tune and some better rubber will fix the problem!
