Alright! Another CL-S vs. 325/330 thread! Gee...you guys aren't obsessed or anything, are you? 
As I've said before, if anyone in Phoenix wants to find out firsthand, let's line the cars up and see what happens. My 330ci against your CL-S...auto, manual, whatever. Dragstrip, autocross, PIR, Firebird, you name it.
I'm not being cocky because I don't know my car can win (although you don't stand a chance if it's at PIR). Let's see what happens!

Very true. Throw that bad boy into some corners and you'll see the bimmer shine.

Correct, but that was CLS 6-speed and the 330 5-speed... it wasnt the auto CLS.
