Performance for CLK63 Cabriolet ?
Hola folks,
I'm considering a CLK63 cabriolet, and was curious to hear if people have gotten dyno and 1/4 mile figures for the car yet? I searched and found some earlier threads with performance problems for the x63 cars on the dyno and 'strip, but later reports seem to indicate that the cars are performing around where one would expect -- 410 RWHP and 1/4 mile in the low 11x trap speed?
Thanks!

I've heard mixed reports. Average seems to be mid 12s @114-117 range.
I know from personal experience that the car will spin the wheels in 2nd and 3rd, so it can't be too much of a slouch.
I might be inclined to expect a touch higher on the dyno, depending on the drivetrain losses. I want to know if we can get the AMG parts over here that they can get in Europe. If so, there's a LSD available, and some higher performance transmission software that AMG can install. The LSD should help bring the 1/4 down considerably.

To me a CLK63 would seem pretty irrelevant, especially since you have the top of the line convertible. But I can't blame you for liking the car. I doubt it goes under 12.5 in the 1/4 mile. I don't know if you're going to find too many results from owners since there are only a few people on these forums who own the CLK63, let alone bring them to the drag strip. Good luck man!
Could you please give me some info on your tuned 911TT?

Your turbo must be a rocket! What times have you gotten with that badboy?
And yes, I got the CLK because I needed backseats as well. And they are definitely useable, I've had 6'+ friends in the back and although its tight, nobody complains.
I like the fact that the 911's come with the little backseats. My father, me, and my brother love going in his turbo. Although headroom sucks in the back, its definitely bareable.
Any plans for modding the CLK63? I think you'd be the first.
