General Comments
The Mercedes Benz CLK 55 AMG is very quick. all right, it doesn't handle as well as an e46 m3, nor does it have the styling. but all of that aside, its a fantastic car. The key point is the torque, against an m3 to 60, it may me a little behind, but when you start at 40, the clk will punish it. Top end is fantastic too e.g when you go over 100mph it just doesn't stop!

The noise is great, go through a tunnel with the windows down and you will see what i mean.

The M3 is a terrific car no doubt, but its more suited to the track, where you car get the most out of the 8000 rmp, but for real world driving, not a lot beats the clk.
