It's surprising to read the heavier CLS having significantly better skidpad numbers than the M5 with identical tire size.
It would have been interesting to read how the M5 would compare in Auto mode in the top gear acceleration run. Right now, it's meaningless to compare the mid-range acceleration between the 3 cars.
Also, the scan on M5 board is the same as posted above, no additional scanned pages.

Unfortunately not for long when MB goes DOHC... I doubt the 6.2 will be as economical as the induced 5.4...

i would love to see a head to head of the E55...
i would think the 1/4 mile and to 100 would be pulling with the M5...
after 115mph+ the M5 will take it over the duties of pulling..
also a K1/EvoSport Stage1 race would be cool... as mentioned hundreds of times... we wonder if a simple pulley and chip E would be able to put a better fight after 120mph.
K2 cars are well documented to run 11.5xx to 11.88 at 12xmph... i think they have nothing to worried about.

I have two W211 E55 vs E60 M5 runs scheduled after the spring thaw here in Chicago. That is, unless I find myself a CLS55 at which point they will turn into a C219 CLS55 vs E60 M5 runs
