It's nice. Mercedes/AMG is not fuggin around anymore. They are putting out some impressive power. I'm partial to the E63 myself. A luxury sport sedan with that kind of power and handling is phenominal and at 85K not too shabby...

Personally, I'd rather have the SL55 AMG. You can pick up a used one for roughly the same price.

I prefer the old E55 due to it's ability to accept mods, but yes that is a great car.

CL600, CL65, SL600, SL65, S65 are all twin turbo.

I would definently get the CL600 over an SL55 ... WAY easier to mod ... you will get 600RWHP+ out of just ECU/TCU ...

The SL55 (Supercharged) is harder to mod for HP ... I am definently getting a Turbo Benz next time around (est. 2009)
