How does it compare to the SL55, performance-wise (straight-line and cornering)?
AFAIK, no one's driven CL63 yet...and no one has measured '07 SL55 w/PP or SL65 in straight-line/N-ring/Hoch, despite '07 engine tweaks, paddleshifters, and new ABC 2.0 and 10% tighter steering ratio vs '06....
Have '07 SL65 and would subjectively comment that steering/handling feel is notably sharper than '06....and in bumpy twisties, 65's damping is more confidence inspiring than my 997TT's....
Currently have/have had new copies of '07 S550 and SL65 (and have several colleagues who buy 1-2 new 65(s) every yr for daily commuting) and have found quality/reliability of the myriad of technologies to be flawless
....and quality of interior materials/fit&finish, etc to be superb
....planning to get early copy of CL550/600 this Fall to keep me occupied until much-awaited 63 arrives in US in mid-07...and 65 in Fall07....need to get a 63/65 to have a GT car w/o turbo lag; w/an enthralling exhaust note; and w/paddleshifters, since my 997TT doesn't offer these latest-tech sports/GT car features (even as a P-priced option)....
