Sorry 1sick, no drooling here. I think the previous model clk-dtm looks much better. The wide body kit on this one looks horrible to me. It's still a cool car, though. I just think the fenders don't flow with the car.
Just my opinion. What does everyone else think?

Yeah, the drooling begins as I finger through my newest Road&Track looking at pics of the new GS as I wait in the Mercedes Service Department as they fix numerous fallicies on my new CLK-DTM AMG.

I like it better than its predecessor. But the flares put it over the edge. . . Daddy still likes, though!

oh don't worry, I'll drool enough for everyone here... that things is SEX on wheels. MB is definitely cruel for not selling it to us!! I wonder if you could get a normal CLK and have some sort of shop do the widebody on it like that. Although I know the aerodynamics wouldn't be nearly as good as the factory one....

1SICK, I didn't think your post necessarily made this thread 56k Un-Friendly, so I'm going to take it into my own hands to make sure it is







Look how incredibly simple this shifter is...

The CLK DTM AMG is limited to a 100 unit production run and has a 5.5 liter supercharged V8 producing 582 hp (from the SL55).

It's not sold in the USA, but the price is about $250,000 (I've also heard $290,000 - if you could even get your hands on one with that limited a production run - and they're all sold too)

Dont worry, you won't With only 100 made and not even being sold in the USA.... I'd doubt you'd spot this downtown... especially with such a price tag

$250k!! I'd probably take the CL65 before that. But then again, if only I could afford either.
