I'll be the first to call BS. You sure it wasn't a CLS55 like when you got the two mixed up during a "race" in August....

Also, you sure your Jaguar supercharged ran down an S600? None of your stories add up...

My wife has a monster car, see pic, we were on a deserted drag strip which we turned onto the other day by mistake and a Bugatti Veyron started to tailgate her so she put her foot down and by the time we had got up to 235 mph the Bugatti was nowhere to be seen, but the guy was really cool and tipped his flat cap when he passed us and conceded he lost.. dadadadadadadadad "Mark! wake up its time for work...oh dear what a dream

I must be missing something. . .Why is everyone so hostile to the original poster?

His story was that he raced an apparently Brabus-modded CLS63 in his CTS-V and lost. He is recounting a race in which his car (the CTS-V) lost.

Is is implausible that a modded CLS63 could take a CTS-V?

And why would he lie about losing?

Guys, I would say that several people should get their facts straight here before jumping all over Mr. CTS here. Mr CTS might have run up against monster called the Brabus Rocket which is a competely overhauled CLS 63. This thing is a monster (spec: top 227 mph based on the 6.3 V12 which comes in S65 by adding twin-turbos = 730bhp) which costs $375K+. Not too many of these around. Also they do the same thing to SL where by they competely over-haul the car. Becuase of the modifications they really aren't MB anymore. Hence the lack of tri-stars and replacement with Brabus badge. Someone mentioend that Brabus just do rims, exhausts etc. This is very much untrue. For more see here:

CLS63 Brabus is just a over priced piece of crap. Its basically just huge V12 engine in a body of CLS and what ??? $375K !!! Any Lambo Mucielago can smoke this what they call CLS63 Brabus. And Lambo cost even less.
I dont think you can find many of CLS63 Brabus in United states.

CharlyE55 - you are missing my point here. My point was that there is a variant of the CLS out there that would verify Mr. CTS story which is not AMG and that in fact Brabus do much more than produce rims and exhausts. I never said the car was good value or made sense. Simply the fact that the performance specs (once it actually got moving) would be very much like what Mr. CTS would have seen. Like all over-powered Brabus machines, the main issue is laying down all that power. They do a C63 version which pumps out 740BHP = shear stupidity as they fit it with 285s and surely they wouldn't last more than 2K miles with any form of aggressive driving.

I am just comparing the in term of value. And YES, why cant we compare a CLS Brabus to Lambo ??? performace, price ... 4 doors not 4 doors doenst matter at all. And Lambo is just an example, let me ask you this, if you have a budget for a car $370K, will you buy a CLS Brabus ???

If my desire was an extremely fast, exclusive 4door, absolutely. Far better than a Maybach which would be too big for my taste.

If I wanted a LP640 convertible that depreciated 50% when it rolls off the lot, is it really more valuable?

Personally, I'd take the LP670-4 SV but how do you define value in that range?

What ? LP640 depreciate 50%.... what are you smoking ? CLS Brabus will depreciate much more and faster than Lambo. A Diablo 92 still cost $100K +

$354 BASE price to $280K asking price used is what I could find. Selling price is a whole 'nother ball game.

Factor in options and actual sales price of the used car and it may not be 50% but it's uncomfortably close.

That kind of car just depreciated so fast that new $350K + and in few years only $50k thats how fast they depreciate. How about just buy a CLS55 + Kleemann K4 mod

BTW, when I mean "in few years" is 5 years
New $370K in 5 years not even worth $50K

You can't even find a 5 year old Brabus for more than $50K
