clk63 will be ridiculous but none the less, fun car to drive. if amg decides to leave it as is, thats 148 hp more! :v probably low 11's or high 10 1/4 mile times and a z06 killer. m6...ha!

I dont think it will be low 11s car! I predict high 11 low 12s. And i doubt it will touch Z06.

Dealer said that that there would be no turbo or supercharged AMG model, only the 6.3 nancy asspirated engine
517bhp and only 369lbft ? torque 
(s55 had 516lbft, s600 590lbft, s65 738lbft) this will be detuned even further for the lower models
Bah humbug

Thats why I think when the S class comes with the V8 engine it will be NA and we wont see the turbo charged version till the new SL comes out...
