An E55 vs CLK55 is not even a competition. E55 vs CLK63 is a bit closer.
Even a moderately modded C32 could drop a stock CLK55 or C55.

Well.... I had them both.... sold my CLK55 (w209) 1 month ago.
The E55 is much much much faster... period. I even felt my W210 E55(NA) faster than the 209.

I had 2 W209 and both of them felt slower than my 210 so imagine with the W211. They look small but weight the same as W210.

Same experience here. I raced my w210 vs w211 when I first got it. W211 ran away really quickly. w210 vs. w209. w210 was pulling.

+1 E55 faster, and if just want for drag race, you've go tyour answer. For every day driving, however, the CLK55/W209 handling is waaay better than W211 - both in terms of steering feel as well as the braking.
