| CLK DTM pics These are a few of the pics I took of the DTM down at the benz dealer a few minutes from my house At this time there are only two in the entire Southern Hemisphere and they are currently both in my town One is for sale and the other was purchased by a local this year The nice thing is, for a car that is more exclusive than an SLR the owner actually uses his CLK-DTM all the time and can be seen about town in it often I hope they both stay here and are not snapped up by wealthy off-shore car enthusiasts etc and locked up in a showroom/museum somewhere The pics aren't great, space was limited       No, I couldn't get a test drive - you either buy it or you don't... I can at least say I sat in one | ||

| RE: CLK DTM pics nomad - 9/12/2006 1:18 PM According to 'Mercedes Enthusiast' magazine, MB have given it a 199mph top speed This top speed is claimed, (unofficially) to be limited so as not to steal too much glamour from the SLR and it's supposed 206mph top speed It's 20kg lighter, 42bhp less powerful and 33% less expensive than the SLR also Also according to the mag, there are 60 LHD and 40 RHD examples made not 13 RHD as the MB dealer has claimed It can lap the Hockenheim short circuit 0.5 sec faster than a Ferrari Challenge Stradale and 1 sec faster than an SLR but is 2 sec slower against an SLR around the montrous and faster Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit; 7 min 52 sec for the SLR against 7 min 54sec for the DTM It was great to see one sure, though it was not spectacular, I'd still much prefer to have seen an SLR really? I see many SLR's around here (rich people  I wish I was one of 'em). There is one at my dealer. Next time I go to walk around it, I will take pics of it for you Nomad. :) | ||

| RE: CLK DTM pics mark cummins - 10/13/2006 6:52 PM 1996_S500 - 9/8/2006 10:51 PM wow, awesome pics nomad. Wow, that must have been really cool seeing one of those. I havent even seen one in real life yet. :( Stop over at Mercedes Benz of Laguna Niguel They Have a CLK DTM Coupe on the Showroom floor Its NOT for sale as The Owner drives it ...She ..YES She drives it to Crystal Cove for the GTG held every sat @7am as This Sat 10/14 will be the LAST GTG held at Crystal Cove due to some complaints...Lots of Ultra High End cars! wow, I normally go to Fletcher Jones, but they don't have a CLK DTM. 2 SLR's, and 3 or 4 Maybach's. 1 pf the SLR's is actually Fletcher Jones Junior's. aww man, I wish I saw this earlier. I used to go to the Crystal Cove meet almost every weekend, but recently stopped, because I was a little busy on the weekends. DAM, I loved those Crystal Cove meets. I saw some really nice and rare cars there: Ferrari Enzo, Cizeta Moroder, and even one time, a cool W126 SEC. That's a shame how there aren't going to be anymore.

| Re: CLK DTM pics AsianML - 10/16/2006 5:58 PM S500, this might be of interest to you regarding the Crystal Cove meets. http://mbworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=166800 Thanks AML, I loved those meets. I saw some of the nicest cars ever over there. Too bad. I knew it would eventually happen. Newport Beach is always like that. Getting pissed off at people having fun looking at cars. I will have to watch that thread, and go to the meets if I can. thanks again.  | ||
