By the time a C63 gets 30k miles, the F10 M5 will already be out

It's all about the way it's geared. It only matters in 1st gear because you are forced to go through the whole RPM guage, whereas from 2-7 you'll be between 5k RPMs and redline.

Well maybe that's your CLK55. Every car is different.
Why won't you run my car to the limiter Jon?

Bring out the C36 but first we'll deal with your CLK and see if it could even hang with me to the limiter.
