Default New car added to the stable :D

Well fellas, it;s that time.....



JUST KIDDING!! hahaha i still have my LS but I recently added a 2008 Cl600 blk/tan has every single option available from the factory. here are a few pics...



And then the 2 beast together


Let me know what you guys think!!

So far I am loving it!!! the power is amazing and technology is on another level. My personal favorite feature so far is the dynamic seats that inflate the bolsters when you take a turn and hold you in place. Also, by far the most comfiest car I have ever sat in.

the v12 is a beast. does this still use the 5 speed?

I like the CL before the facelift!

At first I was skeptic about getting a car in 2011 that still has a 5-speed but after driving it and getting to know the transmission I have found that i really love it. It cruises around 2k RPM at 70mph and the shift buttons on the back of the steering wheel ( to small to be called paddles IMHO) are responsive enough to have some fun with. Also, when the car starts rolling it feels as if it has an automated clutch where it stands still until you give it gas and it needs some gas to roll out similar to a manual.

I never thought that I would really like the sound of the v12 but it's truly love. It sounds like it's revving higher than the actual RPM's giving it a nice bold sound that turns heads when driving in slow areas.

You have two ultimate cruisers now. Going to be hard to decide which one to take on a long trip!

A tune will get the 600 engines into 600+hp territory easily

Hahahaha thats true!! If I decide to start modding this car at some point I can see a renntech tune in the future, but for now (at least the 1st few days of having the car) the 500hp 600tq is plenty still haven't pushed it that much too. LOL i'm being a "kitty kat" hahaha + this is the most expensive car that i've ever owned yet so i'm taking it easy
