2007 CLS500
0-100 Run :-) Impressed.
So, the roads are quiet and this morning I had an opportunity to see what my CLS500 can do.
Airmatic Setting: Comfort
Gearbox Mode: Auto
ESP: Off
0-100 in 5.51s
Next I will try with Sport 2 suspension setting and gearbox in manual.

Where I work, there is quite a long driveway that is pretty much empty to the main traffic street after 5:30-6pm. Usually when I work late, I use this as a launch strip and test in sport transmission with the traction off. Fully depress the accelerator and I lose traction pretty quickly which causes the tires to kick for about a second. IME, a rolling start gets you going faster.

Yup, that's correct. I have the 5.5l V8. Here in South Africa Mercedes-Benz did not need to re-badge the car when they increased the engine displacement.

MBWorld Fanatic!
The MBworld app I use doesn't show any info on the member unless I click on your username so I didn't know his was newer.... Anyway, in that case than you should do much better with Sport 2 suspension setting and manual shifting I think.
