Neither the SL500 or CLK 500 is a real sports car, however, I'd take the SL, stick a Kleemann on top, stiffen the suspension and drive it like a sports car.

These are two different types of cars. If you want something that looks sportier and willing to pay the extra premium, then go with the SL 500. IMO I would get the CLK 500 cause it will get as much looks and invest the difference I saved.
