CLK63 Black or highly tuned C55
Hello AMG fans!
What would you do if you were me?
Buy a highly tuned C55 kompressor with 620hp, Bilstein suspensions, carbon interior, LSD, etc.
or
a stock Clk 63 black series? (around 500hp)
I can't go wrong either way (both come with a warranty)

Personally, I would probably go with the CLK 63 AMG (Even if its just for reliability sake)...

Concur - CLK63 Black Series FTW. Besides, you already have a highly tuned C55, right?
Unfortunately, the ONLY car that makes the CLK63 Black Series look normal is the outrageous CLK DTM AMG:

thanks for all the answers! Some of you guys might not trust me but i still havent made my choice ! The c55 comes with a garantee cause all the components are beefed up and from the e55k. Engine, trans. Rear axle and so on. I will have make my mind within the next 6 months so i need to go test drive the black but at least i know what you guys would do!lol

I Hope this is a joke. Am I the only one who finds this absolutely rediculous. If you buy the c55.... I can't say it on this forum.
The 6.2 runs in the 10s all motor. And there are supercharger options now. Who cares how much hp the c55 has. This is like comparing a 500whp civic with a c63.

i cant agree with you for the civic point because the clk63 is a higly tuned clk55: different engine, race suspension and a lot of cb fiber. And since the c55 is faster out of the box compared to the clk55, imo a highly tuned c55 is a cleary an alternative to the clk63.
