[RASTATT]

Comin from an world where AMERICAN cars have been always related to an american lifestyle wich stands for it self, ment positively, I was only focused on american muscle cars...wich is a luxury to own in germany...well for some people. So I went through every possible modstage with my american cars and expierienced alot of beneficial outputs as well as drawbacks. My car List is not THAT impressive, but like I said beeing a german citizen with mustangs in garage is a highlight in some areas ;-) No need to explain that Im really happy i had my stangs wich gave me alot of mechanical input...yeah phenolic spacers, TBs, EGRs, MAFs...tunes...and chips ( better to eat then to install ) and what not arent unknown subjects to me lol Anyhow all these expieriences I had, having a 305 HP musclecar and trying to beef it up...BRAKES...SUSPENSION...POWER...and drowning a ****load of money into an car wich is considered as an IMPORT where you live, so parts are killuh hard to get...brang me to the point where I just HAD to reorder my thoughts and then I just switched my mind...and focused on the european carmarket No looking back., what can i say.... ITS A BOOOOOY! CLK 550 Im happy. Now that I found your forum I CANT await to learn and see whats possible...Im so into the carbone shift console of the black series...nedd to have it. If someone got infos LMK! Greets from good old R.A.S.T.A.T.T close to the wonderfull blackforest :-)

And? I don't know how is it in the US, but in Europe the 550 (known as 500 here) had the AMG package as an optional, costing 3000-4000 us $. The license plate shown on the picture is a temporal one from Germany if I'm not wrong, so I supose he is not in the US

[RASTATT]

Yep youve pointed it out right, Im in germany. Yes for sure it is an CLK 500 wich is the wrong name for a 387 HP car, right? ;-)

Thanks for the welcome, truly gonna have to do some serious catching up lol

[RASTATT]

Aaaaah I hate the single tiny exhaust...quads gonna come FIRST, then....Hmmm oh I love the black series carbone shifter bezel style. Anyone here to point me out in the right direction? THANX!

No I was literally stang-addicted and had a few of them, besides my everyday DDs, no need to dig deeper, hope you understand. Everything was for a purpose at least I think that way so now my whole focus is on the CLK.
