I was just thinking that. Theres a video around where that happens to one of these CLK-GTRs. Theres also a video when one hits a deer or something on the racetrack. Grusome...

That was the race version that did that, and it had lost some aero elements

What's up fellas.

Are you talking about the video that had the car in question running down the back straight and it runs over a crest and flips over/

The video was at the practice laps for LeMans. It was behind another car and lost downforce when approaching a hill. It did three 360s before landing. Mercedes thought it was the driver's fault and sidelined him, but when one of their other clk-gtrs did the same thing, they withdrew from the race. I've got the clip somewhere if someone can host it. Here is a pic from an Orlando concourse and this place has had some for sale: http://www.autosalon-singen.de/Stock...&languageID=GB

That's right! The withdrawal most certainly was hastened after conjuring memories of the 1955 Le Mans race when Pierre Levegh's crash killed 80 spectators.

E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
There are also...

a couple of those cars available in a convertible (!) version..they've been for sale in DuPont, etc. Can you imagine the chassis flex in one of those things?! And if I'm not mistaken, the guy that went over at LeMans was Mark Webber, the current hoped for Willams savior (who is currently being outperformed by his "race by race" junior partner...). Chappy, did I see you in the parking lot at MB Buckhead last weekend?...

Not there, but you may have caught me at Lenox. We're finishing up all the errands, etc. for our "big day"

Yes like it's been said many times before...(I'll be another) It's the CLK GTR. The CLK DTM and the GTR are 2 completely different cars...

Chappy --

I'm going to catch up with you soon...the weather keeps teasing me enough to think that I can get the convertible out, but it ain't quite there yet...I'll be back for another weekend in about two...
