e500 vs CLS500..Who would win in straight line race?

They are nearly identical in all aspects. The E class is about 200 lbs lighter and the CLS has better angling design. I'm assuming the E-Class would win, anyone seen or participated in a race with these two cars?

it's a toss up.

The CLS has bigger rear tires, though

911's and beyond
the E w211 is it a bit lighter and i believe the tranny is geared a bit more aggressive, as well AMG the E is the quickest of the bunch. TO MY KNOWLEDGE

E would win. The E63 beats a CLS63.

E500
A straight-line race with an automatic transmission seems rather boring. Where's the skill?

That'd be tight. Too bad I'm in LA.

Also, the E500 would have to be an 04-06, not 03, since the 03 had a 5 speed. Also, E can't be 4matic, has to be RWD too.

Given the expense of EPA certification, I'd assume them the same.

The E and C class forums are very busy.

I think the higher up you go in models, the less busy the forum area.
