There are prior threads on converting the CLK DTM Coupe for use in the USA.
It can be converted.
This car totally shreds on the track - it is a dream as a trackday car.
Total investment post-conversion is going to be well above $400K USD -- depending on what you pay for the car, total investment post-conversion could be over $500K USD..

and yes, there are more than two here. They receive exemption using the Show and Display provisions....limited to 2500 road miles per year IIRC.

haha yes. I have had the opportunity to meet the lady who owns Laguna Niguel. Simply amazing how its grown into one of the largest dealerships in the country. I think I met them at the last CUSD fundraiser where they were giving away an ML to one lucky winner.

i have seen it at CC, i talked to the guy who owned/ drove it. the only way it got registerd is through a plan called "parade car" or somthing like that, bassicly if a car is not street legal in the US (well, CA at least) then it can get this plan, and u can drive it 1200 miles a year in "parades"

There are 2 in Miami and 1 in NC. It can be converted easily. All you have to do is bring the vehicle to the country for show&display purposes and a year after just to the conversion through Automobile Concepts Inc in Miami, Florida.
