CLS 63 AMG Ratios

cls63amg · 10-21-2006, 03:32 AM

Hi
I'm planning on purchasing a CLS 63 AMG and was wondering if anyone knew what final gear ratio it has as i like cruising at relatively high speeds ( 180-200 kph ) and would like the engine to be turning at very low revs.

Thanks

Top gear ratio is 0.73, final drive is 2.82.

Hey if GEARSHIFTING properly is the issue here , not to worry , I can help with that since I have an E63 ,LOL ..... Dont know if you guys know this but the 63s also have heads up THAT FLASHES RED for shifting in the CENTER CIRCLE of the instr. cluster .... It helps alot !! You'll never do it right with out it cause the tranny reacts so quickly ....

I dont know about KMP to be exact but ill give you mph numbers , gear 1 40mph , gear 2 62 mph , gear 3 somewhat 90mph , gear 4 stretched it to somewhere at 140 not sure ... Ill pay more attention today ....

Did I tell you guys ? I traded my ML350 for an ML63

LOL ok ARTIST , I was just trying to give CLS63 some tips on how the 63s work , BTW , the new 100% ESP off thing is just crazy , it drifts nicely , and to be honest with you , the 63s sound more like the M5 than the 55s except for the exhaust which is totally out of this world ....

Ill start a new thread with some pics ..... I just didnt want you guys to think that I just want to bust a stunt everytime and stuff like that ... I really dont like to show myself off honestly , but the thread is coming , do you still think I have to prove im not BSing

?

Yes ALEXANDRO , as a matter of fact I did beat my cousins M5 , I killed him from 0-60mph , it was able to hang with me a little more when we raced off 30 mph !! On the freeway I blew him away I swear to you ...

Even though the ML63 seems and feels so fast , the E63 still outpaces it by alot !!

Both are almost equal up to 180km/h, the m5 is faster above 120mph according to various carcomparions (from 0-xxx). What happen to those videos you and interlagos were talking about?
I hear different stories from you two?
