This is very hard to say because all of these cars came into my stable in different times. Ill try to do a short and skinny about my feelings of each when I FIRST got them. Ill take the F13 out of the equation as its a GT cruiser and the others are sedans. If I include GT cars then I might as well include the Turbos I've owned and the CL65 and E63 M6 as well.

My sedans as I remember recently (I had 2 E55's, Audi B5 S4 and an E39 M5 as well but that was years ago LOL): 2010 E63 N/A, 2012 CLS63TT, 2012 E63TT Estate, 2013 F10 M5, 2014 RS7. This is just rank order and my opinion, it would take a day to writeup:

All ranked stock since I tuned the AMG TT's and they were then faster. Let me preface that these are not weighted and some might want a better handler than an accelerator and vice a versa so I wouldnt take the rankings and add them up and say that is the best car (with the lowest score). These are all great cars and have their comparative advantages in some way.

Looks (all close but):

1. CLS63TT
2. F10 M5
3. RS7
4. E63 N/A
5. E63TT Estate

Speed (again all close sans the E63 N/A)

Quickest (0-80 or 0-100)

1. RS7
2. F10 M5
3. CLS63 TT
4. E63TT Estate
5. E63 N/A

Fastest (30-160)

1. F10 M5
2. RS7
3. CLS63TT
4. E63TT Estate
5. E63 N/A

Handling including steering (highly subjective based on my driving skills)

1. F10 M5
2. RS7
3. E63 N/A
4. CLS63TT
5. E63 Estate

I wonder what the Ring times are for these cars?

Interior (again highly subjective)

1. F10 M5
2. RS7
3. CLS63TT
4. E63TT Estate
5. E63 N/A

Exhaust/Sound (again stock)

1. CLS63TT (yes these turbo cars are better than the N/A stock IMHO)
2. E63TT Estate
3. RS7
4. E63 N/A
5. F10 M5

Most fun for me to drive:

1. RS7
2. F10 M5
3. CLS63TT
4. E63 N/A
5. E63TT Estate


I will say this, the best sedan I've ever owned and this is based on time of acquisition is the E39 M5 in LeMans Blue. Just the best car for the times and still an amazing looker/performer IMHO for a 400hp car.

Thank you sir. You are so correct about the surge- its rather aggressive vs even my SL with 660 rwtq.

I believe thats member Kiku at Audizine. I think he has run 10.6xx on 100 octane now as well. The 10.8 was run at a crappy track too with poor prep and lower DA.
