Trust me, a twin-turbo 6.3L V8 pushing 700+ hp would do the trick

I think Kleeman's custom job on that ML63 for the guy in Dubai produced 800+ hp

If it wasn't about racing and power at all? the 63 is much better, smoother, nicer interior, exterior, all the little things.

IMO the rear end of the 55 is nocer, but I'm biased cause I've had a love affair with the 55 for about 6 years now. Idk about the 63 being BETTER if you're not racing... I just love the low end torque that I get from my car. I think its all about what makes YOU happy when you drive. I test drove both cars many many times before I made my choice, and I love the 63, but the 55 engine was the one that put a smile on my face.

Before I bought my car, there was a 63 someone had backed out of (1k miles) sitting on used lot with all the 55s, directly side by side... it was so clear when they wear side by side. low end torque is nice though =/ But theres a LOT of little things that make the 63 so much nicer, modern, luxurious and such.
