2006 Benz AMG CLS55 — THE Danny’s newest pride joy

I know it, I am fond of Mercedes. I supported and cheered their One team Racing for at least 15 and I have been a fan of their AMG’s for at least as long.

And I know that several of my best friends consider it an old car. But I know that that think that way never owned one themselves, if you had owned a couple of the ones I owned, you would have had a affair as strong as mine!

My black 1984 Mercedes crumpet catcher was my fist and I absolutely loved that And yes the, a Silver E320 and a CLK 320 were fine cars, but lacked the grunt and bad-boy of the 500SL. I just never had a for either car.

So the next time round, in mid I stepped up and bought THE BEAST, the Benz AMG E55 . Make no mistake this was an animal — and 515ftlb of torque, and by far the best car I had owned. I absolutely LOVED car — every time I in it I would have a blast and I stop smiling hours I got out.

In May of 2005 I had the privilege of the AMG challenge event held at Speedway in Miami. What — for the full report here AMG Challenge Miami

I even took my E55 to the Drag Several times, and cleaned up Corvettes, lots of HotRod Camaros, several Porsche Turbos and even a 600Hp And in January 2006 at the Moroso Drag strip in Palm I managed to beat my best and run an awesome time of 12.169 at mph — my 60ft time was on stock tires. My best speed was 115.56 mph! You see the kids run up to me after a run and ask. — what did you do to your and I reply. nothing its bone — its just my regular getter.

January 2006 — NEW arrives!

I had this car on order for time ever since I saw this photo featured on a Maybach web site back in

The CLS has a way sexier and sportier line my E55. Its elegant and looks even standing still. are very few bad lines on this

The engine remains identical to the E55 in my onion it is one of the most exceptional to ever hit a street car. Its 5.4L gives a whopping fat of torque from 1800 4800RPM. Its Horsepower is now eclipsed by the BMW M5 that has just been but the M5 has to be wound out at speeds in excess of before it comes alive. The 55K provide the most fun in daily

But what makes this AMG 55K so seductive is what happens your foot even kisses the accelerator pedal. It leaps forward and screams 0-60mph in 4.2 seconds. It stomps all a Porsche 911 Twin Turbo off the Its only 2/10 of a second off the Viper to the quarter mile (if the can launch the Viper), and kills all exotics including Ferrari’s, Aston Martins and others off the

I toyed with getting the new released BMW M5, which has a … V10 making over 500HP, and away from the AMG 55’s at above 100mph. But to really the BMW M5, you have to wring it out above RPM’s in 3rd gear, so you only get to enjoy the car at speeds where you are going to …. The 55k motor is the opposite — all its fun is instantly on and most fun at speeds up to 100mph, and pretty much the speeds most of my driving is done.

And the whole time you are encased in Mercedes luxury and elegance understated and refined. (not our party photos!). Every I climb in this car I feel a little kid and I just cannot get the off my face. Its freakin’ awesome! I love this car!

This CLS is a little special — I ordered it with the 030 package which includes minor cosmetic differences, but importantly it adds a Limited Differential, Composite Brakes, and the top is delimited to 300kph (185mph)!
