You and me man. I love NA.!!

I can't drive any faster than 507HP will provide in So Cal anyway...I'd love to build up an E55 to 600HP+ and 700TQ+ but it really wouldn't get me anywhere except thrown in jail or bankrupt from all the tickets

Having driven both I like the linear powerband in the N/A 63 engine better as well. I love the 55's torque (who doesn't) but it can make for a punchy, herky-jerky ride if you're not really gentle. The 63 does everything I want it to

Now, this new TTV8 in the works from BMW and MBZ...that's another story

Great thread by the way...I'm in the same boat! (I have an E55 currently.) Now that's it's 2013 both E63's and CSL55's have dropped slightly in price.

Well , let go here the CLS is a modern day classic every new sedan now has CLS lines or a direct copy . Look at the New mercedes coming out they all have CLS design Clues windows, hood , body lines . This will be a car that will always be like new . I have people question me all the time is this a New Mercedes car . Road stops , gas stops , service centers on turnpikes people stop and look at car . The E is a great car but its just another common looking sedan and yes the CLS has draw backs back seats , learning the blind spots while driving . But their nothing like the driving EXPERIENCE . Oh, the 55 was a 1 year engine for this car that's special too. Oh and when I tell people I was going to buy a 2010 CTS-V they all say you bought the right car
