The prices have really dropped with low mileage cars going for $50K less than MSRP. I am so tempted, but kind of don't need another 2 seater. All the reviews I've read really like it. Has anyone here driven one of these? Thoughts?

While a little different in some respects, this car is every bit as much fun as as a GT3. I own one, along side the GT3.

On the track, you would have to be really good to reach its limits (I am not that good). Some don't like the pedal autobox, but like RMS and PDK the objections are greatly overstated, and the auto makes for a great daily driver..

It is a very fun car, rarer than a GT3; and a screaming bargain. Think of it as a "go to jail muscle car" with incredible HP, torque, sound and performance.

The only downside that I can see for most is that it only has 2 seats.

On autotrader.com they range from 89.8 to 115. There are 5 or 6 of them on there. Neat cars.

awesome cars...... but the problem with benz's is that once the model is updated after a few years nobody wants the old style, hence the prices drop accordingly.

over time the mercs just dont become desireable with age thus nobody really collects them. (save for gullwing).

The nicest benz is always the newest benz.

I completely agree except at $15K or so over the cost of an M3, the CLK63 BS seems like a bargain.

slushbox....

P.J.S.

+1 and a sorta sleeper at that...only a real "car guy" will know it is something other than a standard CLK...

This would be a great daily driver IMHO

Check out the Top Gear review of it -- pretty good stuff.

I have one too. Sounds great, hauls ***.

I am a big fan of the BS(I bought and sold 2)...but it is a little bit of a stretch putting it in the same category as a GT3. The BS is very heavy and the tires will heat cycle very quickly on the track.

The GT3 is the ultimate street/track car...but I am very biased toward the Porsche brand!

Owning both, I have to disagree with you. I am biased towards Porsche as well, and the fact that the BS rates so highly makes it a stellar car.

I have the experience of some Professional drivers, with a Porsche bias, try the car out on a course designed for Porsche; and they came away absolutely astounded.

It was not a comparison that was made lightly; and my Porsche bias is bigger than your Porsche bias (I think).

WOW that car sounds awesome!

Sounds amazing, stock exhaust I assume?

Man, now I want one...
