Stock, which one is fasterr? CLS55, or S55?

sack5000

About the same, same engine and they weigh about the same, about equal.

Both among the world's fastest sedans.

BallzyS55

But I thought they only came stock with 469 HP?

BallzyS55

I didn't mean only as low, I meant compared to 493 hp for S55

Zod

all 55k have 493hp (500), its just marketing from mb so that the more expensive S,SL,CL dont lose face to their cheaper models E, CLS etc.
There is a VRP thrread that disscuses this on the first post in detail

Big Carrot

A CLS will walk all over an S55! Are you seriously asking this question? Two totally different animals!

BallzyS55

I truly disagree, my personal opinion, have you ever ran an S55?

Same engine, same power output. This should definately be a driver's race more than anything.

Vic55

wrong forum, moving now...to the CLS forum.

I understand there is more traffic here but if more posts started in the correct forums we would be better off.

BallzyS55

I drive an S, would've been nice if you could move the thread to S instead.

MB_Forever

You can still start one in the S-Class thread and link it to this one. That way, you'll get both opinions: those of the CLS guys and those of the S Class folks.

Vic55

I copied this thread to the S class AMG forums...I moved it here first since you will probably get more repsonses in the CLS forum than the S.

I had a '02 and '05 S55, and now have a cls55.
'02 is no comparison since it's naturally aspirated so we can throw that out the window.

comparing the '05 S55 to my current cls55...
definitely the cls55

acceleration and initial take off in the cls55 is much more powerful.
now sure what the weight difference is but the S55 definitely feels heavier and more sluggish.

The s55 has more leg room in the rear, but the cls has a larger trunk space which is quite nice for my baby's stroller.

Agreed CLS FTW!!! Baby stroller carrier, family cruiser, track car..LOL

Addicted2Speed

Why would you ask such a stupid question? Isn't it obvious that out of the two cars with the same engine and same horsepower, the lighter car will win?

Big Carrot

Forgot about this thread. I've never raced one, but I've driven both, and the S feels much slower.

BallzyS55

If the question is so stupid, why bother answering, that just shows how smart you are!! and as for same horsepower, I don't know how 493hp, is the same as 469hp, I guess there is only one way to settle this, bring the cls on!!! No dis to you Juicee!!! I know your **** is fast. Congrates.

W219CLS55

Wow! this kid is annoying. He sounds like my freind that also has an s55 and he thinks his is the fastest and I have a video to prove that I smoked his *** actually 2 videos to prove it so shut up you annoying little kid and wishfull thinking.

Oh and I just dynoed my cls55 and it made 498 HP at the crank

Bye the way they are selling s55 for $40,000.00 on ebay.

S55 is out like Bell Bottoms.

BallzyS55

what happened I struck a nerve, why are you so mad, who cares about a question, how did I annoy anyone, asking which one is faster, and agreeing or disagreeing, this is pathetic, I was just really wondering, and by they way, talking about value, it's ok, I don't care when it comes down to it, what does that have to do with speed, if that's your main worry you should've bought a corolla. Let's see your vid, and then come out here, and I'll spank you silly.

You Just doyned your car @498Hp at the Crank good for ya.

lauer87

wow, some of these cls people have some ego issues.

I would agree that a cls55 would beat an s55 however, i dont think it would be by much. I have owned an s55, e55, e63, and an sl55 no cls's. They all seem to be pretty similiar in power output.

Now to the poster regarding the prices of s55's, obviously the prices have come down the new body style is out. You can buy sl55's for around 50ish. Does that mean they're out of style...i think not.

No need to rip on the guy that started the orginial post, its a valid question and has turned into an enteraining thread. Now lets show some respect for the other amg's (especially the ones that have the SAME exact engine)

W219CLS55

need some help posting my videos of the S55 defeat by a CLS55 if anybody knows how to post please let me know.

It's an AVHCD video do I need to convert or not and if so how in the world do I do so.

MB_Forever

Try uploading it to YouTube.com or Photobucket.com (you'll need to sign up for a free account if you don't already have one). If it accepts it, then just post the link to the video here and we'll all be able to see it. If those sites do not accept that specific format, then you'll need to convert the videos into a more popular format, such as, .avi, .mpeg, .wmv, etc..... and try uploading them again. To convert the videos, you'll need a video conversion program. I've heard a really good one is ConvertX

SSM AMG

+1. Same engine, very little weight diffence. A stock race should be about equal maybe an edge to the cls due to weight.

To say a CLS will walk a S is little far fetch.

Sorry for the crappy camera man

BallzyS55

Well buddy you seriously think that these vids are real, I mean whatever floats your boat, but it sure as hell looks kind of fake to me. what was the second vid for showing us the back of both cars, after saying he didn't wanna race beyond 99mph, don't you think he'll be behind.
