M5 friends driving my CLK 55. (archive)

Two nights ago, one of my friends that has a new M5 (with 5k miles on it), and I went for a ride in my car and then we swapped back to his car for a comparison (no we didn't race, since my car isn't broken in).

Here were his two main comments (which I noticed too):

1.) The CLK55 feels like it accelerates quite a bit harder than his M5 in roll-on full throttle situations, and one standing start that I did (but I backed off at 5,000 RPM).

2.) The CLK55 corners much flatter than his M5.

3.) The CLK55 has more torque and instantaneous acceleration off the line and in roll-on situations.

My sentiments were exactly the same, as I thought both of these points were quite obvious. I have about 800 miles on my car now.
