The 63 engine is the future for everything AMG.

I would probably go with either an M5 or the CLK63 (which has a tuned down 63 engine)...once you retune the 63 engine to bring back to it's 505HP potential you will have very similar performing cars.

M5 is wicked right off the lot...
ooops, sorry for the misinformation. somehow i thought the 63 engine has more tq as well. i thought i read somewhere the e63 has more hp and tq over the e55. my bad
