Just a feeler here. Thinking of swapping my c63 for a clk63 black series. What do you guys reckon? My c63 is a red 09 with 25K kilometers and has following mods:

Carbon fiber trunk and vented hood
DTM bumper with LED and carbon inserts
Carbon intake
strut bar
custom red seat belt
MHP LT
MHP catback
MHP t-stat and gasket
MHP v3
KW lower springs
Clear bra protection and carbon roof and grill
Blacked out chrome trim and wheels

The clk63 is bone stock!

I would trade it in for the Black Series.
They are rare cars and if you could get your hands on one, then I say go for it.

Well, by "swapping" do you mean you are literally going to swap one for another without any additional cost? what year is the CLK63 BS? mileage?

I would keep the C63.

Black Series for sure.

I want to know where you bought strut bar and how you did the custom red seat belt. I always wanted to do this.

The clk63BS is an 08 model. As far as i know that is the only year that they were made in.

no way it's an even swap. if it is the BS has been totaled or set on fire or has been underwater or all three.

but yes yes yes BS all the way.

Understand that CLK63 BS, is essentually a race car for street use. I have a friend that has one, it's stiffer then your C63, not a daily driver's car for say. If it was me, that had your opportunity, I would go for it personally. It's a Black Series after all, limited production run, something like 399 delivered to the US. If I was to come into some money, I would definitely get that over the C63 Black Series Coupe, I just think that it looks better over all. IMHO

Go test drive a CLK BS and you'll know the answer. It'll only take 2 corners outside of the parking lot to make your decision.

The clk63 BS in question for the trade actually belongs to a friend of mine. I've driven it and even raced him with my C63. I was ahead by at least 4/5 car lengths minimum. But then again this is street racing and not on the track. I guess if i show some pictures of my C63 it would make people understand why I love the C63 so much especially after all the mods and work i've put into her. If only there as much mods out there or a competitive enough range of LTH's for the CLK out there then i guess I wouldn't be posting this. Power kind of matters to me most at the end.

Guppy.. i see you drive both.. wat do you think?

If you're drag racing, the 2 cars are close. The C63 shifts faster so it's a little faster in a straight line (P31 or chipped C63 vs stock CLK 63 BS).

If you add corners to the mix, the CLK has a higher exit speed and it'll put the power down better, so it'll be carlengths ahead, and the C63 won't have a chance to catch up at all. Not even a fair run. This is true even on the street. I lent the C63 to my bro and we drove around together a lot over the summer.

If you're looking for a drag car, don't bother.
