The C63 AMG BS is much younger so I can understand it gives you a more up to date feeling. But more than that...
When I was on the market a year ago to purchase my first BS, I had the choice between a CLK BS and a C BS. The prices were pretty equal so that was not the issue. But in the long shot, the CLK is just that little more that I didn't find with the C. Don't get me wrong, if the time is right I would love to buy myself a C BS as brother for the CLK BS.

no need to resort to personal attacks and name calling just because you get offended....he has/had both, so his opinion is more valid than yours. To say one car is more "respected" vs another is plain laughable.
And imho if a CLKDTM only sold for 400K, that is not a promising variable in any of these cars value. Seems like 400K is alot less than expected.

It was not my intention to get people arguing about what or who's car is better, It was only a way to ask people to choose which car they would sell if they owned either a CLK Black or 997 turbo?
We all are passionate about the cars we own and like and for that your right, otherwise you probably would not have bought them.
Black Series cars are special in their own right but time, new improvements and better engineering always win out when it comes to technology. Hell at this rate you may be able to buy a Hyundai that can out 60 foot a CLK or C63 in the near future,
this by no reason means it is a better car just that time and technology has caught up.
I am concerned that they made vastly more Porsche 997 turbos & GT3's then they made of CLK63 or even C63 Black Series yet simply because Porsche is more widely know for performance then MB or AMG people tend to lean toward them and our cars are left in the shadows. I sold my 997 instead of the BS simply because I can get another easily where as Black Series cars available are either expensive low mile units or worked over drivers I don't think I would like to own.
Hopefully the rest of the automotive society will see what we already know that AMG has made only a few really Badass cars and labeled them Black Series, and not just in SL or SLS form!
