Out Of Control!!
It is truly awesome! Being that I have a 430, I won't hit that when I get mine finished this week. But with some cams, headers, and a performance differential, I expect to be close. Back to production numbers, I think that Magma Red may be the least produced color for the CLK. Where are you from?

2001 CLK320
Interesting you ask...
In the 2001 SF Int'l car show they had a 2001 CLK55 AMG Coupe on display in Magma Red (charcoal interior)
For the 2002 show, they had a CLK55 AMG Cabriolet (charcoal interior w/ Comand)
every once in a while, I'll see a Magma Red Cabrio (320 and 430)
but have yet to see a CLK55 Cabrio in that color.
Now, I'll admit that I may have a bias, but I'm sooo tired of the silver ones - they look nice, but not very original.
And I wouldn't want to be a slave to maintaining a black car and going nutty over seeing every fingerprint and speck of dust...so its red for me -

2001 CLK320
Hmmm, "cement gray"...
I'd vote for Tectite Gray as the closest match
From the late 70's through the late 80's there were lots of Benzes in that smoke gray (I think sometimes called Anthracite Gray).
My father had a '78 450 SL in the Anthracite with that strange colored beige/pumpkin color interior (w/ MB-Tex upholstery) and world's most uncomfortable seats for the lower back...didn't have power seats in that car.
