any times for the cls 55 ? should be quite a bit quicker
Here you go--all I have.

Straight-Line:

Mercedes CLS55 AMG MT 7/05 4.40 12.60 114.40
Mercedes CLS55 AMG RT 7/05 4.40 12.60 114.40
Mercedes CLS55 AMG CD 10/05 4.20 12.50 115.00
Mercedes CLS55 AMG CD 1/06 4.20 12.60 114.00
Mercedes CLS55 AMG MT 1/06 4.30 12.50 114.50
Mercedes CLS55 AMG MT 3/06 4.50 12.70 113.60

Isn't the CLS heavier than the E?

N?rburgring Lap times (the best in there is the best anywhere):

7:52 ? 157.119 km/h ? BMW M5 (E60), 507 PS/1844 kg

7:52 ? 157.119 km/h ? Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren (sport auto 06/2004)

8:06 ? 152.592 km/h ? Mercedes Benz SL55 AMG (sport auto 04/2002)

does anyone want to go to page 2 and find CLS and E55???
Let MB E65 come. For sure it will be worst than SLR... (and therefore M5)...

Agree...especially with the last bit.

May i correct it?
"...while the AMG is more of a decent twisty-handling easy rider." old people rider/show off wanabe rider
Hope i didn't offend anyone.
I'm not offended.....as long as...at my age.....I don't fall into your "old people rider" category!!

Good old chap, I don't know who the ...uck is ZNOD and its credibility...
But for sure I know the Ring and the credibility of "Auto Motor und Sport"

Take some German lessons and follow the link:
http://www.auto-motor-und-sport.de/d/71199


Besides that, I've stated that SLR and M5 are able to make the same time at the Ring.
If you are talking about High-speed on a "de-restricted" highway, there's no question about the SLR, but the ring is not exactly and Oval or a 4 just curve circuit...

and besides since you like your german mags how about this


7:40 ? 161.217 km/h ? Mercedes Benz McLaren SLR, Klaus Ludwig (Autobild 07/2004)
strangely how you missed that one?

7:52 ? 157.119 km/h ? BMW M5 (E60), 507 PS/1844 kg

8:09---BMW M6 (2/06) BMW Official test run

....at around 7:40 we have
7:36 — 162.631 km/h — Porsche Carrera GT, factory test driver Walther R?hrl (2002)
7:39 — 161.575 km/h — Koenigsegg CCR, 806 PS/1180 kg
7:40 — 161.217 km/h — Porsche GT3 RS, stock but Pirelli P Zero Corsa, Mattias Ekblom (ams)
7:40* — 161.217 km/h — Porsche Carrera GT, *cold and partially wet track (sport auto 12/2003)

and if you tell me that the SLR is not one of the best machines ever created i will have to laugh
