dont forget its got 125 lb-ft more of torque

I`ve said it before, those overall numbers are less than a 0.5ths better than
each other.

Btw, I ment the M6 wasn`t relevant because it wasn`t tested here.

Doesnt matter, Im just comparing M5 to M6 and explained why M6 has better skidpad numbers than M5. CLS55 probably have better skidpadnumbers than E55 if the E55 was in this review. Tires are important as well, more grip higher numbers. Imagine these cars with R-tires

Yep, thats correct. Hi torque performs better through more gears.
My point was the CLS55 did well with 2 less gears.

If the AMG modified G7 was presented in the CLS55, it would have squashed
the M5 in those speed tests.

More gears is like running on more legs. (very few people can outrun their dogs..)

lol I also think it will be faster but the word "squashed" is too much

Sound like the M5 will vanish away.

wow, you taking it way to serious. BMW fans into our cars, yeah like MB fans are different

One negative comment about MB and you go bazooka...

Buy me one and of course I take it, Im not stupid

BTW, Im so sad cause you havent made a comment in my supergoodthread
http://germancarzone.com/showthread.php?t=3201

Ofcourse MB fans would go bazooka , that's why they are MB fans . But do MB fans diss BMW cars ? I dont say anything like :BANANA looking por ejemplo , or that the M5 looks weird in some sort of way . Honestly the M5 or the 5 series in general should have looked alot better , and I like the old 5er better than the prev. E-class by alot , but the E-class to me at this point is a million times netter looking than the 5er , the 5er might look a little more modern but to me it's modern ugly . Now back to my point I got carried away with my feelings for the 5er or M5 , the point is that I dont disrespect BMW fans and BMW cars for a reason , that is to get respect for my favorite car . BANANA shape ??????? how the f**k is it banana shaped ?

If you believe the F430 squashed the M5 , then you can say the same for the upcoming 63s , because I am expecting F430 performance like I said previously in another thread .

I can kinda see the resemblance. But of course, you being the diehard MB fanboy can't see it.

maybe the straight line acceleration will be faster than the M5 but id ontthink it will handle better.
