CLK63 black series. A M3 KEEPING UP WITH A BLACK SERIES. Im in shock.
This is Black Series guys, not a normal CLK63. Its lighter and more powerful than a normal CLK63.
507hp and cost like 3 times more than a M3.
really? I don't have a clue what "black series" entails. If that is so, then

Here are more details about the car:
http://www.mercedes-amg.com/CLK_Black_Series/
Basically it's a twin of the F1 saftey car.
@ BC911: the GT3 is a bargain by comparison
German prices (incl.19% VAT)
CLK63BS 141,610 Euro
GT3 112,544 Euro
Not sure which purpose these spiced up CLKs serve - who needs a safety car on public roads ?

Re: Sport Auto M3 vs. CLK63Black
A short review on the SportAuto website including videos of M3 & CLK63 BlackSeries.

Thanx for the link to the videos. It's not like the M3 doesn't sound good, but the CLK sounds a heck of a lot better - at least to my ears.
for what a Black series cost it should sound darn good. Hopefully it will happen to M3 CSL as well.
Re: Sport Auto M3 vs. CLK63Black
M3 competes against C63 as car of choice for CA kids who work at BestBuy/Starbucks, etc and live rent-free w/Mommy...
CLK63BS is one confused, expensive POS.....far more expensive to drive for one yr/10-15K mis than GT3/Scud, b/c of likely severe deprec....a 4000lb (???) alleged track/street car w/ground clearance issues; non-street-optimal perf tires; and an ancient CLK body/tech platform (a secretary's/hairdresser's car in CA
).....w/a tiny peripheral tach in a car w/paddleshifters....perhaps placeboshifters????

Well, at least CA kids have good taste
You know, everyone don't like big, heavy coupes like the CL 63 but prefer something smaller - regardless of their financial situation and social status. An MB CL AMG (and similar) has the potential to look too much like the owner is compensating for problems with manhood/insecurity or just simply trying too hard. No offense, it's still one hell of a car, just not to everyone's taste.

Funny, in Germany I have a similar problem driving a 997 Turbo.
"Do you need this as a p-enlargement?"
"No, I love Porsche cars, I drive them for more than ten years now and besides that, I'm married and I have two kids".
"What about a girl friend?"
"No girl friend, I'm married."
"So you don't have a girl friend and you need the Porsche to get one, right?"
"I believe in monogamy during marriage."
"So why do you need a Porsche?"
"Because it is fun driving one."
"It is a car, nothing special."
"It is a sportscar and I enjoy driving it fast."
"So you enjoy to terrorize other drivers who don't drive fast, right?"
"What are you talking about, I drive it fast because it is fun and it can drive fast, it is some sort of a challenge."
"So you basically admit that you have a inferiority complex and you need to prove yourself, you need a challenge?"
"I don't prove anything to anybody, I'm 42 years old, I lived a life, I've done this and that, I enjoy being a family man and I have enough work to be busy and to prove myself in the family, I don't need a car for that."
"So why you have your Porsche?"
"I told you, it is fun."
"Riding a bycicle is fun too and it is less expensive."
"So what? You can ride your bike, I drive my car."
"The bike is healthier and it doesn't pollute the environment."
"I'm 42, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I'm not really slim but I'm not obese, I have a perfect blood pressure, sugar is even lower than normal, never had a serious illness and have a cold maybe once a year, sometimes only every two years, no health problems. Regarding the environment, your RAV is less environmental friendly than my sportscar."
"You always have an answer for everything, right?"
"I always have answers for stupid questions, right."
Do you think this conversation is a fake? Think again...it really happened...with a young female at a local sports centre (my wife said she was probably hitting on me but she knows her and she is...married).
Btw: last time I met her, she told me about a Porsche driver who caused a deadly accident, killing two innocent people. I was looking at her and didn't really understand what she wants to tell me.

Quite surprising this came from a woman - reading your dialogue I assumed a similiarly-aged father of three justifying his familyvan acquisition to you!
I am wondering what kind of people you meet down there, have to rethink my change of location...

Maybe she just wanted some coochie-coochie like RC's wife said
