Power of CLS55 vesus SL600 (Renntech)
How does the power of the CLS55 compare the the SL600 (Renntech).
Reason asking, a friends boyfriend has a CLS55 and is insistent that it is more powerful and faster than my SL600. Anyone have any input.

I'm no mod expert, but a stock cls55 against a SL600 w/ renntech mods?
I would think the SL can kill his 4 door coupe..also I think she needs to cool down and remember your SL probaly cost $30K+ more and is at the top of the foodchain

My (German) uncle once told me the following:
"It's not how fast you go. It's how you go fast"
A lowly 2007 Ford Mustang Shelby GT 500 (under $40k) will smoke them both with a 0-60 of under 4 seconds.

I guess that I would just politely smile, and forget about it.

StephenK,
There is no chance for the CLS55 to even keep up with your car. I use to have a 2005 CL55 with the same engine as the CLS. The "55" engines are nice and have a decent amount of torque, but your V12 Biturbo with ECU upgrade is about as powerful and fast as a CL or SL 65. You don't realize how much faster the 600 is until you actually drive it. My feels just amazing as I'm sure yours does also. Please race this person and let us know how bad you beat him or her.
