Thanks.. that safety car looks great! I'm guessing it has the V8K?
Unfortunately, it'll probably never make it to US shores.

Ronald, even with extra money, and with good contacts at AMG, is it still NOT possible at all to get those differences you mentioned onto a normal SL55?

Does anyone know what size rims and tires the F1 CLK55 has? I know they are 19s and they look great. Just wondering how wide they are and the width of the tires.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Not sure, but I speculate that it the European equivalent to the US race event Pace Car. The car that also comes out when the track is under Yellow or Caution due to an accident.

Too Young To Drive
Its not the European equivalent, its the Formula 1, the pinnacle of motor racing's equivalent to the pace car. The car only comes out for the warmup lap, or as was the case in a race two years ago, a rolling start in Formula 1!!! The car won't come out when the track is yellowed - whatever that is. A yellow flag in F1 indicates there are some oil patches on the track at that particular area. If an accident occurs of a relatively large magnitude or a car is stuck in the middle of the racetrack and cannot be moved for some reason, the safety car will again be unleashed.
