    Because it's faster than sh*t. I've never seen a car come up so quickly in a side mirror than the CLK DTM last weekend. And this was from the side mirror in John's Enzo.

    Drive one and you'll understand. It's all about speed and passion.

    You can always get value in a Prius and help the environment.

    Calm down there, as I don't see where I am talking smack, but then again why do you care? Do you own one? Have you driven one? There also must be more than 2 in the US as there are 2 listed on Dupont right now. Next time try enlightening me on the car instead of just swinging from someone's nutz on here and posting your drivel.

    Ok I will help you. Next time you see one of these DTM cars, Look real close at the build quality. You will notice the entire body hand crafted of Carbon Fiber and the way the suspension is set up it might cost you 80,000 dollars to replicate that alone. When I tell you that Mercedes probably takes a loss financially to produce the car that shows how much goes into making one. Oh and its fast as stink also. Now that you have stepped into Ferrari Chat. Get some thick skin because All of us here have pretty large testicles and we like to swing things from them often.. JJ

    There are at least 3 in southern California.

    Not to mention the Cabriolet which is on her way (unintentional rhyme)!

    I must admit - it's a car that I don't "get" either. There is nothing about the design that moves me. Of course, I haven't had any seat time in one, so there's always the possibility of that opinion changing. Maybe it's just one of those cars that has to be experienced....

    Would you rather own this or an SLR? I have seen both of the DTM's that show up to VCR and do agree that are very nicely built cars. I just couldn't see buying a DTM over alot of other cars. I guess its one of those cars that fits into someone's garage who has everything already. :D

    For me, there is no question. DTM over SLR any day of the week.

    Maybe one day, if you drive one you'd understand. The interior is lacking, the stereo sucks, no nav, the power is so brutal it is tail happy and the harnesses are a whole trick to get in/out of. Poor Steve and I had to do it like 6 times, at one point he harnessed himself in, but the door was still open, then unbuckled, closed the door and put that darned latch on backwards. I suggested just hitting the throttle and letting the door slam shut, he was not amused. lol

    If any of these things sound like a turn off, go buy a street car, not a racecar. BTW, the SLR is a nice Benz, not really a Mclaren feel. The DTM makes no illusion to what it is. DTM > SLR, heck DTM > *

    Everyone has differing opinions on what they do or don't want to spend there money on. But if someone is going to spend it and I can enjoy it on Sunday mornings, then that is perfectly fine with me!

    actually sounds like quite a few of our cars! :) We don't drive them for trips, grocery-getting, commuting or anything other than the thrill of driving.

    I had 6 point harnesses in my 360. Everytime someone would say lets go, I would have to start drving while putting the harnesses on, otherwise I'd be left behind. Lots of buckling and tightening. :D

    +1 not to mention it will out handel an SLR and has a more agressive shift, steering, suspension articulation and a more agressive transmission and LM spec limited slip diff. This car is a hand fabrication car with a chasis that has been tac and spot weilded vs. just tac weild.
