Bummer that it only comes with a slushbox - would be a riot with a manual.

The black c63 comes with dual clutch manual. The automatic tranny in the regular c63 is the one thing I didn't care for. The engine is AWESOME.

I picked mine up a few days ago, replaced my CLK63 Black Series. It's a slightly better car than the CLK Black. Quick first drive impressions that I whipped up:

I'm going to swap cars with a 997 GT3 to do a comparo between the 2 cars in the spring, since the 2 cars are similar in performance.

Here are some pics from the article:







My 996 Turbo will be sad the next few months!
