CLS55 Running Low 11s

Is it possible?
Just got back from the AMG Challenge and I must say these cars are much nicer and roomier than I originially expected. Only question is, how fast can they pushed....

Actually any 600 or 65 platform, but the CL has a bit better drag coefficient and ironically per MBUSA my car weighs as much as an SL65

Gotta agree. V12TT ftw bro.

Especially since you like to push the envelope, imagine a 600 or a 65 with a beefed up tranny and larger turbos?...

Sorry for the OT: Do you know what the lightest 600/65 platform is?

Thanks !

The CLS is SO GOOD LOOKING (IMO). I think it'll look 'current' far longer than a 2006 SL or CL. I've long contemplated changing out my '05 E55 for an '06 CLS55. And now the clock is ticking, as I have 43k miles on my E. Eeee!

Good to hear they aren't much slower. And I take it all the same mods apply? Pulley, TB, etc, all the exact same?

I'm always tempted by the SL, but I've gotta think that they are due for a totally new body soon, having had the current style on the road for as long as they have... The CL is already updated.

Yup, exact same upgrades apply. The CLS is just a bit heavier and less aerodynamic. It looks faster though lol.
