I've heard that the CLK55 offers better handling, braking and overall driving experience over the new E55. This comment came directly from a AMG Exec who's owned both according to my friend. I guess the reason is the weight difference between the two cars. I've heard the older E55 has better handling characteristics and with the addition of a Kleeman supercharger the car has superior performance.
