Top Five '03 Muscle Cars. CLK 55 = #5

Mercedes-Benz CLK 55 AMG:
It's a balled-up fist--with a manicure. When you see "AMG" on anything built by Mercedes-Benz, watch out. AMG is the brand of the silly-fast, riotously overpowered German lead-sled. The $68,750 CLK 55 is an amped-up version of the CLK coupe, with roughly 150 horsepower than the V-6-powered CLK320. The heart of the car is a huge V-8--5.5 liters' worth--bristling with 362 horsepower, or 12 more than a standard-issue Chevy Corvette.
Like the Aston-Martin DB7, the Mercedes is a big machine--a road king of the first order that uses its menacing mass and ferocious performance to bully the opposition into submission. When people see a CLK55 bearing down in the rearview mirror, they usually move right. Quickly.
Pop Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" into the CD player and imagine the chopper-assault scene from "Apocalypse Now" as you turn off the traction control, load up the converter, and leave the line in a cloud of smoke and semi-controlled violence.

Wow, that's a pretty good group! I'm not a big fan of the mustang but that Marauder is one hell of a sleeper! Wow, I've seen some on the road, and they look great!
The CLK55 is really a awsome machine!
