2002 CLK 55 AMG Coupé
The video says that the CLK 55K belongs to Leterell Sprewell. Well, Leterell being quite possibly the greatest "choke artist" in the history of sport, I gotta figure the throttle body of his car has been restricted.

I think that test was done about 5-6 years ago. Do a search IIRC, there was a water pump or intercooler issue with the Kleemann and wasn't putting down full power.

"On the HP and Torque graphs, I was the one dynoing one of the CLK's My max power was 433 at the rear wheels. We are 1170' above sea level and the temp was 70f outside. This makes for a little deviation in numbers."
