Review of AMG CLK 55...Howwazzatt...???
The Mercedes Benz CLK 55 AMG is very quick. all right, its a fantastic car. The key point is the torque, against an m3 to 60, it may me a little behind, but when you start at 40, the clk will punish it.
The M3 is a terrific car no doubt, but its more suited to the track, where you car get the most out of the 8000 rmp, but for real world driving, not a lot beats the clk.
Test drive findings :
1. CLK55 Steering too light - needs firming up at speed.
2. CLK55 Steering not as communicative.
3. CLK55 only has 5 gears
4. CLK55 is more civilized. engine was much smoother. M3 felt faster / more responsive.
5. CLK55 is better mannered - deals with uneven surfaces better.

Very difficult to agree with you...
M3 is more aggressive engine but it doesn't feel faster than 5.5 NA.
CLk steering might feel lighter compare to M3 but it is not lighter than most of other car...
