question about my CLK500

hey all im new to this website. i got a 2005 CLK 500. fully loaded with navi. it has amg wheels. but is it considered AMG? i know the CLK55 amg has 360 hp, and the CLK500 has 302. yes i know the CLK55 amg is faster......and would you rather have a CLK500 or the new 335i coupe?? which would win in a race

CLK 500(auto) or 335i coupe in stick and CLK500(auto) v.s. 335i coupe in auto

Is it an AMG? What's under the hood?

Start with the engine. If it was not a product of the AMG "one man, one engine" operation, it is not a true AMG car, IMHO.

Forget about wheels, body kits, brakes, exhaust, etc. and what "we" say here online.

Here's the simple answer:

If you can't log on to the Private Lounge using your VIN, it's no AMG.

Perfect answer Chappy! Thanks.

The site should post that as the "stock" answer to the question.

Ok that was so brilliant! That can solve the debate in the 400 other threads that I have been in about this.

beg4m3rcy703 welcome to the board! If you are wondering about my and some of the responses to your question, you have come in and touch on a sore/hotly debated topic that always seems to come up. Our boy Chappy just came up with the greatest end all to the debate answer I have seen in a long time. Anywho, hope you enjoy your stay here on the board. And congrats on the new whip.

No need for that, pal. You created this thread, everyone's entitled to post. Chappy is a great guy, and knows his stuff. I've been here a while and have seen it.

Back on topic, congrats on your kill. I think a CLK500 would be able to beat a 335i with a good launch. I've heard those small turbos start choking off at the top-end.

Hey Bro,
You just got here and started insulting people.And if you can not apreciate cars for what they are(no matter what year or model,especialy when it comes down to chappys 208 which will "smoke you"like you smoked that 335)then maybe you need to find a different forum

This has to be a joke right? If not then please go to another board. Do us all a favor.

Do us a favor and go to another forum. No matter what year or model we all show respect for each others cars. Thats just how it is. Stop talking smack about other people's cars, that W208 is far and beyond one of the nicest cars MB has ever put out, and definitely one of the classiest. And another thing... Stop telling people that you're Persian. You're making the rest of us look bad.

Edit: I'm not done yet. You're probably one of those guys who got an MB just cause it's an MB huh? No idea about the history or engineering that goes into every MB, or AMG for that matter. You probably put your MB key on the table every chance you get so everyone can "kno that you be a baller". And Chappy didn't even say anything offensive to you, so give him an apology and then move over to another forum for everyone's sake. Thank you for your concern.
