Oh, in Vegas it is.
That's right I live in Colorado Springs.
I'm not siding with either car. They are both awesome, for $100k+ each they should be. Its all about what you want. Like we say at the dealership "There's an *** for every seat."

If the CL is an '03 or newer then its 500hp/520tq. Unless the M5 has some crazy power then the CL will walk it

This guy is the original owner of this car and he got it DINANed nearly as soon as he bought it six years ago. So far, he's had 0 problems with his DINAN parts. I hear that many people do, but I never actually personally see one of these car with so many problems, so I don't know.
a friend of mine bought the supercharger kit for his 95 540is. the bracket and ecu tuning were the onlt things that were dianan made, supercharger was just a paxton, or vortech or whatever, all the hardware was just generic harware store stuff. the kit cost 9k in parts (we put it on) and after the install with 400flywheel hp it still got pulled on by a stockish fd.
we had no trouble at all with the kit though

But this is an M5, not a 540i. There are many more differences than you might think. A 540i with 400hp still won't even come close to an M6 with 400hp around a track.

I thought the same thing with mine. I PhotoShopped the white one like that. Looked horrendous. Truly terrifying. I don't know why either, you would think it would make it look much more executive, but no.. Not even almost.....

From the factory, they're both rated at 4.7 0-60, and this particular M5 is modded to have 70 more HP than factory. You forget, Mercedes cars weigh a hell of a lot, so all that extra power is just going to make up for extra weight. No doubt this M5 will be the one walking the CL55. Even the CL65 would have a hard time keeping up up the straights, and when a corner shows up, forget about it. The BMW's gone...
Go and drive either the 55 or a 65. Not a chance the old M5 will hang. They are rated 394hp/368tq. Thats 100hp/160tq less then the 55. You may catch up in the corner but the 55 will pull away in the straights easy. I'm not even going to bother with the 65. There isn't anything stock <$150k besides a new z06 that can hang with a 65. They are ******* beasts.
Trust me, I've driven alot of cars, I do it for a living. The old M5 is no match...Dinan or not. But it is a damn nice car

I'm glad you've driven a lot of cars, but I've driven lots of cars too, including this particular M5 and raced a CL55 and beat him soundly in a straight line, and a CL65 only pulled about half a car on me in this M5, and that was before all of the DINAN engine mods were totally done.
