demo'd a '00 CLK430 Cab.... wow!

My curent ride is a 95 E320 and the prior ride was a '00 E320.... I thought the 00 was quick... lol, This CLK430 was awsome... sounds powerful, feels powerful, drives great, alot of torque......

Is there much difference between the CLK430 and an E430 when it comes to speed, since the E, I imagine, is heavier?

What't the Hp/Torque on the 00-02 CLK430s? I want to benchmark it to the new ones....

I am going to have to do some reading on issues, but I imagine it would have the "typical" MB electrical issues, however small they may be....

While the Cab was awsome, that one will be out of the price range, so I would be going with a coupe....

Seems you have been bitten by the W208 bug.

What't the Hp/Torque on the 00-02 CLK430s? I want to benchmark it to the new ones....

According to MBUSA, the CLK430 has 275hp and 295 lb.-ft. torque. It is lighter than the E, and is quicker as a result.

BTW...love the W124s...I still drive my '91 300CE daily
