I have a 997tt and a M6 conv. They are totally different cars. I prefer to drive the P car, however, the M6 is a fabulous 2+2. Considering your requirements I would look to the Merc or M6. For solo around town, short trips and the tract I use the 997tt. For trips with the wife, medium commutes over 25-30 miles and business clients I use the M6. The M6 is more of a gentlemans traveler, the 997tt is just fun.

definitely not the M6... CLK BS looks amazing and is definitely more rare. I wouldn't under estimate that car at the track either... 997TT is reliable, faster... you will see many more 997TT in LA than a CLK BS. Really tough choice, if you're going to drive the SH*T out of it, I would go with the porsche...

The US version of the BS is auto, isn't it? Is the euro sequential?
I remember the BS having an overheated gearbox and returning to the pits in limp mode.
Loading the BS with bucket seats is just close to impossible, of course buckets are an euro option but have seen various retrofitted.

[*]Rare - you will see hundreds of M6's or 997TT's[*]Reliable - it will never be in the shop while you have it[*]Resale - it will hold its value better then the others from this point on[*]Police - it will draw less attention with the MBZ star from the CHP and local police[*]Performance - it will run circles around a 997 (all but GT3RS) on the street or track[*]Traffic - it will be more comfortable in LA traffic than the others

IMHO Black series cars are over priced. I drove a few at an AMG event and they were fun but not worth the large premium over the stock model. I had the CLK black for an entire day on the street running around and while it was a huge improvement over the stock AMG I couldn't opt for it over a 997TT.

We don't sell cars, that is not our business. Just pointing you to one that is very custom and available.
if you are looking for stock, you will save a lot of money over that one though.
As to the track, anyone want to meet me at Willow Springs and place a little wager! They are both fast cars, but the CLK is much more the track set-up car from the factory than the 997TT (we are lucky to have the opportunity to work with both extensively).
You cannot compare the DTM to the BS - different cars same chassis. Like comparing a GT2 to a GT3.
BTW, we have NA BS that make 700+ hp so they take mods very well too!
They are both great cars, but for all the reasons listed above, the CLK is the favored IMHO.
Unless you have actually driven and beat on all of the cars, it may be hard to really understand how good the CLK really is.
Thanks

Very different cars:
CLK black very hardcore, rear wheel drive monster for more track time
997TT really fast off line, loud, occasional tracking only, supercar that is comfy enough for longer crusing also
M6 luxury, comfy stealthy big sedanlike coupe, big boot, less seats than sedan
I wouldnt think someone would really try to decide between these cars, they are so very different...
