I was just browsing. This car is so f-cking hot. Did anyone here ever own one? How many fat chicks wanted to roll with you but couldn't?

Sweet Jebus! I have never heard of the DTM before. I leave the fatties on the curb and roll with the hotties, u feel me?

 

Egads...WTF is that thing on the trunk?

 

It sure is a hot item, the price tag is a bit up there. Much rather have the CGT for that price.

 

Drooooooooooooooooolll. It isn't street legal in the US though

 

Are you sure about that? I saw one up for sale on ebay here in the US last summer. It had a pretty hefty price tag.

 

Just because you can buy one doesn't make it street legal. There is probably a way to federalize the car but I heard that involves wrecking one

 

He is correct. It's not street legal. There's an owner here in cali who owns one coupe and one cabri that he only takes out to certain shows but can't be street legally driven. He has a DMV permit on the side windows saying it's not for street driving or something like that.

 

The wheels look pretty tight! Probably the best wheels I've seen on an AMG!

 

I've seen that guy at various car get together's. Very chill guy and easy to get along with. Always very friendly and tries to answer everything the best he can. Nice guy with a 2 VERY sick cars!

 

That thing is sick!!!

I don't quite get it though... It's like buying an FXX, you purchase the thing and can never drive it.. I just don't get the point. But then again I don't have enough money to afford either so my opinion really doesn't mean *****

 

the car is street leagl in europe, and if i recall correctly was loved by some reall big names in motor sports, including Jenson Button who bought one. Not sure if he still has it

OZ Superlegerra III buddy

 

you can drive it, although I'm not sure how $$$ the ticket would be if you got pulled over. I'm guessing if you can afford 2 of them you can pay the ticket.

 

yup, I'd say this and the SL65 BS are a close 2 and 3 most extreme AMG's in recent history.

 

Why is it not legal ? its not like the car produce 1000hp or something . Just curious thats all.

You would think you could buy another silver CLK park it and if you get pulled over hand the PO the registration to the other car. Chances they check your VIN... Highly unlikely????

 

Unfortunately that car is not street legal in the US, only show permits are issued with limited miles going to and from. If they catch you driving it on the street for any other purpose, it's not just a ticket..........they'll impound the car and you'll be lucky to get it back. Regardless of that, it's a great car!

 

Stricter US government safety regulations..............the same reason US CLK63 BS's have to have side airbags and forfeit the carbon fiber door panels. Same happens to the racing seat.

 

Ahh...I see. Thanks!

 

The DTM is one sexy car

+2 the car is not legal for street driving in the U.S. but can still be bought and driven on tracks and other private designated areas. I believe to legalize it, Mercedes would have to wreck 3 to 4 not just 1

 

Sick car

 

Why? How does that stuff work?

 

My understanding is that car manufacturers are required to certify that their cars meet the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) in order to be driven on the streets. These standards cover many areas one of which is crash-testing requirements. Carmakers have to be certain that if the NHTSA goes to any dealer in the United States, buys any car and crashes it at 30 mph, the car will pass all of the FMVSS requirements. To ensure that all of the different combinations of engines, transmissions and accessories will pass, carmakers may need to crash 60 to 100 vehicles themselves. Since the DTM comes in one or two configurations only, Mercedes maybe able to get away with crashing only a couple, but it is still a very lengthy process.
