Finally signed the paper and pick up the car around 6PM. It is brilliant silver with charcoal interior, and with K2a option. The engine exhaust sound is awesome! It sounds aggressive compare to my E55, and all that power in the small CLK is addicting. Now I am wondering if a kompressor is even necessary for a CLK. My wife couldn't wait to take the car out tomorrow.

2001 CLK55
Congratulations. I've had my '01 CLK55 for a little over a year and it still continues to delight me (and get faster). The best combination of features and performance that I've found. I hope you enjoy yours as much.

Best wishes for the enjoyment of a lifetime.

I share your enthusiasm and maintain:

The 208 CLK55 AMG Coupe is the best car ever produced since Karl Benz
patented the world's first motorcar in 1886, registered his patent DRP
37435, which is considered as the official birth certificate of the first motor
car!

Lets say, the engine is the best ever produced.
The body shows, if driven hard, some aging.SFC`s could be helpful I think.

On Saturday, a yellow 911 and my 2002 55 were motoring down the freeway at 120 for about 5 miles. I haven't had they much fun in a long time. LOL Enjoy the car.

Stefan -

please don't take me literally. I am just a completely satisfied AMG owner, with a tendency to embellish.

QUESTION:

What is SFC?

Securities and Futures Commission?

What is SFC?
SFC = Sub Frame Connectors

Usually welded to the underbody of cars like Mustangs and Camaros to reduce body twisting.

Tnx Stefan -

...but Camaros have been discontinued.

SFC - I am sure - had no "connection".

John,

Congrats and enjoy... That beast is addictive.
Get ready for the mods...

If you want the sound to be a little more agressive, remove the resonator and replace it with a stainless steal straight pipe. This is an easy mod (about $150.00) and the exhaust sound is very cool, NOT rice rocket like at all.

Have fun.

Thanks f1vu,

My wife just couldn't stop driving her car, she loves the beast. She did warn me about messing with her car, so any mod. is out for now. I am trying to talk her into the Comand retrofit but since the baby is due soon I won't bring it up until May. I think my E55 is feeling left out
