Default What do you think of a E55 AMG with the CL65 engine instead

Once BMW is going to launch a 507bhp light new BMW M5(the power of this segment is going up more and more indeed), Audi will probably get a more powerful RS6, and Jag could get a more powerful S type as well.....and once merc or AMG is thinking of getting a more powerful and efficient E55 AMG, and once as well im a big fan of merc, do people think that merc should launch a E65 exactly with the same engine as the CL65 accompanied with CL65 gearbox, the CL65s brakes, some set up in the suspension,..........

In my opinion merc are capable of getting an accomplished car (although 612bhp means a lot for a E shape, the E class range has a brilliant chassis), as long as they set up correctly the electronic gadget of the car (the suspension, the brakes, the traction control....)......i found a weakpoint to the every current AMG merc though,....they dont have any mechanical differential able to work when the ASR and ESP are disconnected on purpose, and for me they should have it as the E39 M5 has......anyway......im waiting your opinion about this modification
