My CLK60 would take it. I think I still have the only MB six speed in existence.

It is still no match for KA.

Shawn,

While the seats look similar, the ones in the Benz are fixed back.

Rockit,

I believe it is paddle shift (maybe 7 speed?).

Chad,

Your car might be one of a few. I think there are some other CLK's with the transmission, and if I'm not mistaken, Renntech made a 190E 3.6 six speed when the C36 first came out.

I agree. No Benz will ever be a Porsche. However, a Porsche can be a Benz...Remember the first 500E.

Shawn - close but no cigar...The Ferrari seats are two piece so not safe for racing...the ones in that CLK are one-piece (like the GT3)

Anyone remember the Cl55 F1?? It came out about a year before the Cl55, and had the ceramic brakes. Only 55 were made, and i believe that the only difference were the ceramic brakes. I know someone who had one, i really doubt it's worth much more then a CL55 now-a-days. Anyone else think there is a possibility they might becoming out w/ a toned down version of this car in a year?
