Default If all goes as planned, this will be my next car - CL600 - Twin Turbo V12

As the title stated, I've got my eyes on the Cl600 V12 Twin Turbo. These ****'s trap 116MPH stock in the 1/4 and hit 124MPH with only a TCU/ECU tune ($1,400). That's a steal in my book.

Here's what Car and Driver had to say about one:

"The Benz surprised and impressed all of us. The CL600's 590 pound-feet of torque is a stunning 111 more than the Bentley's, and the Benz's 493 horsepower is just 58 behind the Bentley's."

"The Ferrari has a 16-percent-better power-to-weight ratio, yet the Benz equaled the Scag's 4.3-second 0-to-60-mph sprint. The CL's 2.4-second lunge from 30 to 50 mph is 0.1 second slower than the Ferrari's, and its 50-to-70 time is a half-second better. Punch the gas in this ***** and you're gone."

Stock thesed beasts advertised 493HP and 590TQ, and they produce more 100 HP and TQ over that once tuned.

I made an offer on this one tonight:



















Here's a Youtube video of another CL600.
