This would make either "supersedan' about as fast as a garden-variety CLK320 - a CLK430 would blow either one into the weeds.

I've owned both a 6.3 and a 6.9, IMHO both are overrated from a performance standpoint. They may have been a hot car in the mid 60's and mid 70's but they are not very fast in a straight line or in the corners. They are both an absolute joke when viewed from a maintenance/cost of ownership perspective.
