03clk and 04 cl

95 Supra tt and 06 GTO

Am I doing it right?

tw2

I think so, let me try

11 E63 and 06 987 Cayman S

An 03 CLK55 is going to be a lot faster than an 04 CLK500 if thats what you want to know.

i owned an 06 cls500 and my 05 clk55 is much faster...

///AchMeinGott

Geez, mine were similar at least...

OP you're taking the same motor, boring/stroking it, and putting it in a much lighter car, so the results are fairly self explanitory.

Now if by chance you mistyped 07 and cl550, then it's a bit closer. The power curves of the 5.5 >>>>> 5.4, but there's still probably a 500+lb difference.

If by chance you meant 04 CL600, then things get interesting. The CL should easily win, assuming it puts its power down. 500+hp and 4400lbs vs 360hp and 3650lbs.

I want pros and cons. Differences between the two.. I'm about to buy one just want to know what to expect form the CL 500 W215 car compared to the CLK 55 W209 which is my favorite car so far!

Because they are both made by toyontiac? Haha.

Expect to go very slow in the cl500. It will be very comfortable however. You will need deep pockets to repair the various luxury features that break. Suspension will be the main concern. Both engines are pretty reliable. I would definitely take the clk55 or at least consider the cl600 or cl55. Also that instrument cluster? There is a lot of ugly there.

Apples to oranges despite their looks. The CL500 is a huge 2 door S class, a grand tourer that happens to have 2 doors. It's also much heavier then you probably think, and 300hp/base model components won't make it very sporty. Personally I'd only ever get a CL V12 tt, for a comfy highway monster.

The CLK is a light-ish sports coupe first and formost. Can be fairly well optioned, but doesn't have nearly as many as the CL. Going to the CLK55 and CL500 only amplifies the differences. Light, heavy duty hardware, higher hp sports coupe vs minimal acceptable hp, heavily optioned, grand tourer. The only similarity is honestly 2 doors and 4 headlamps.

I truly hate lazy posts like this. What in particular are you looking to compare?

Wait I have one..

Apples vs oranges..

///AchMeinGott

So you own a CLK350 AMG and a CLK550 AMG eh?

omega48er

AMG bumpers.... don't worry no amg badge though.

People may give you a hard time. You have them listed in your signature as AMG cars and you are in the AMG forum. Just saying.

omega48er

I always like looking in the w209 amg forum in I'm addition to the regular w209 forum to see what people are doing to their rides. Especially since I love the clk63 BS.

I still hate vague *** questions like the one the OP asked. He should take his time to ask a question which people will take time to answer it.

Amir_AMG

dont worry man everyone is more than welcome in any forum...and theres nothing wrong with your sig..btw I was looking at your cf trunk spoiler, did you find one thats not as high of a kick? i feel its a little too much on my black car..i want one larger than stock amg, but not as big as the vorsteiner in cf

tw2

Not to argue, but I find some of these threads quite interesting. Even though they are definitely apples to oranges I still enjoy reading about peoples opinions on other cars they have driven. Even if it is comparing a barge to a speedboat.

Oh I got one!
2008 Mila Kunis vs. 2003 Natalie Portman

insame1

That's like comparing necklaces to nipples.

Nachtsturm

Easy, one is AMG. The other is not. /discussion

This is also easy, Mila Kunis = CLK55 AMG, Natalie Portman = CL500. See above explanation.

///AchMeinGott

And "Mean Girls" era Lindsay Lohan = SL65. /thread.

Also, I would have absolutely zero problem putting up with that upkeep...

Dmtypr

haha this is hilarious

W209 CLK55 by far is better than a CL500.
