Anyone catch the latest on Speed channel featuring the CL65 ? Pretty cool, not to mention that girl he had with him was insanely hot...

CLK63 Black Series
Exposed

It was nice to see the CL65 featured. Other than that, I thought the show, itself, was infantile. More like a fantasy for a 16 year old who has been able to sneak out for the evening in daddy's new car. Whoo-hoo, watch me impress all of these REAL IMPORTANT PEOPLE.

Wow, watch me smoke the tires!

Also, why did they only run the 1/8th mile? Seems to me that 1/4 mile times would have had a little more relevance with more of the public.

I saw the episode and thought it was cool to see. That show on the speed channel just started this spring. I think they have aired only 3 episodes and the second was the AMG. I must be infantile, because I enjoyed it. Last night's episode was about the Aston Martin Vantage.

Caught the end of it. Yeah it was kind of about how cool the car was, how cool you are in it, smoking tires, etc. Still fun to watch, wish I had that ride.

After the show I immediately got on my computer checking prices on these. The CL65 is such a classy non-flashy look at me car. It has the attitude "So what I could spank your *** and look conservative at the same time"....

pretty cool also is that he took the CL65 to the local 1/8 mile dragway. Best time I saw on the board was a 7.9x@90 which isn't too bad for a bone stock car on stock tires. This equates to about a 12.3 in the 1/4. His launch technique was weak and he had the chick as a passenger in the car on 2 of the runs! No bad at all considering.....
