Magazine Reviews CLK Black

This month the Clk Black is wrtten up in quite a few mags. The big 3 American mags all have tests with performance figures. If memory serves me correct the 0-60 times were from 4.0-4.3 and 1/4 mile times were from 12.4-12.6 @ 112-116mph. Also UK Car and Evo have a write up. Take a look.

Cheers!!!

Picked up EVO, which I believe is the most informative article so far. It seems that AMG triangulated the chassis which no one else has mentioned.

Except for calling Willow Springs a dust bowl, (ok it does get windy) and the constant comparison to a GT3 they do a good job. If the CLK 63 Black had a Jag badge on it they would have given it 6 stars.

I also read the Evo article. I believe they also harped on the auto being a tad slow to inputs and no rev matcing on downshifts( nothing new hear). I believe in a diffrent article in the same magazine the the C63 trans will address these issues. The article could have been in UK CAR or Autocar. I read so many over the past few days.
