Factory CLK-Class DTM Coupe - 582HP

Hi all,

Don't post much but read almost every day. I found this in my little old home town and it looked different enough that may warrant a post.

http://www2.carupdater.com/star/used...tID=-919868111

Factory 5439cc Supercharged V8 582 HP --

Don't know a lot about these but looks pretty cool for a factory model.

Nice car! But it sure isn't worth the half a mill. Think of what other cars this kind of money can buy....

I think its $500,000 New Zealand Dollars - approx $363,600 USD - still pretty darn high, and especially now that the AMG CLK Black series is out and arriving for TEN of our AMG lounge customers at only $127,000(USD)

According to Schiz who has driven one in Germany recently the word out is that the new CLK Black will walk the old CLK DTM

So this new wrinkle has pretty much dented the performance:$ aspect of the car, but the uniqueness of the DTM will certainly keep its resale value high indefinitely (IMO)

No longer stock '06 E55, A3 3.2 Quattro, LRD4 HSE, R107 280SL
Nice car but aint worth that money by a long shot ...

Can get 997TT, F430 , M6 and E55 and probably still have some change left over for mods ...

price.

I find that hard to believe. The DTM is a monster. I rode in one and I believe its a tad faster than an SLR. The torque was incredible. The sound was even better.

Edit...here's a pic before anyone calls bull****

that was EXACTLY my reponse to Shiznick when I saw him at the Panoz lapping day at Road Atlanta two weeks ago...... but he inisted that according to the "guys in the know", the Black walks the DTM - his words not mine!

Believe me, I was just as incredulous as you! And at the moment in the absence of any real evidence I am definitely sceptical. But I do know that Schiz is on the INSIDE TRACK at MB - make no mistake!!!!
