W208 CLK DTM

greekspec2

why do you say the BS has a better chassis than the DTM?
The BS uses twice the amount of production W203/W209 parts compared to the one off mfg DTM components...hence why theres not listed in epc...

To clarify, I was referring to the CLK DTM (No. 78 in top 100 lap times which is pictured to be a CLK DTM Convertible) and not the tube chassis W203 DTM in red pictured above.

I'm simply looking at the lap times and hypothesizing why there could be a difference (maybe more of an opinion). I have no doubt the engineering quality of the CLK DTM can achieve faster lap times. Hence my caveats towards the end of my post. With out doubt, both the CLK DTM and BS are amazing cars. The rarity of the CLK DTM doesn't necessarily make it a faster car by default.

The DTM is lighter and more powerful, I think it must have been down to driver and or conditions. Maybe just basic car setup also.

Do you think that the r230 sl would be able to be fitted with a harness brace like on the DTM?

How did they do a harness on the convertible?

Personally I'd wondered about the Nurburgring lap time before, and I believe this is due to driver issue.

http://fastestlaps.com/tracks/nordschleife.html
On this website, we know that the CLK BS lap time was set by Berndt Schneider.

As a Formula 1 fan, I happened to know that he was a F1 driver from 1988-1990, won 5 DTM titles since then, and became safety car driver of F1 since 1997.
As we know, the CLK BS is actually the safety car of F1 2007 season.
Therefore, as the safety car driver, I believe Berndt Schneider has the most experience on a CLK BS, that could explain the Nurburgring Nordschleife lap time.

Hey, look at what I've found

http://www.wreckedexotics.com/accident/6127?c=mo519

There it is, I think is the first CLK DTM crashed ever, it says the place where it occurred and that the driver owns a Cabriolet version of the car also.

But what do you think guys, how can I get more info of it or even contact the owner to see if he is up to sell it, I want to take out of it everything that could be reused, instrument cluster, seats, exhaust, everything.

Or if he sells parts of the car, haha I now it's difficult but who knows? Maybe there is people that can get more info of the car in this forum. Thanks!
