If you're getting a Bentley GT and want speed go with the Bentley Continental GT 'Speed' Edition.

I would definitely take that over a CL65.

Also, the AWD is a +. I live in NYC and our Bentley is great in the snow.

a friend of mine used to own a blue bentley gt..you guys might have seen it..it was one the cover of luxury and exotics a couple months back...he really didnt run into any problems with modifying th vehicle how does the 65 respond to minor monds like ecu flash..exhaust...downpipe..any problems? my friends e55 started acting up when he took it to the dealer for service...something about when the dealer ran the cars computer it messed something up with his computer since it was reflashed...im not too sure what he was saying...and 2 of my friends amgs have a common problem of the passenger side air suspension completely dropping...have they resolved this with the 65?

I have driven the CGT and by far would take even my CL63 over it, CL65 is at the dealer now I find it hard to spend 207k when my car was 141k and is really fast as it is.

The Bentley is a Pig. PLus, its the "cheap" Bentley. whereas The CL65 is top of the line and waaaay more exclusive than the Bentley. You see as many Bentley GTs as you do Toyota Camrys in certain parts of the country. Go for the 65 if you want speed, luxury, and exclusivity.

renntech'd or kleemann'd 65 would be a good option
