    Kuzi, it was great meeting you and seeing your car. Yea, it's cold in the morning, but for some reason I don't mind that much. It's going to be huge by summer!

    Lawin, I'm glad you're having fun. Yea, we got to chat finally this time! Thanks to Trevor helping us I was able to get around and talk to more people for a change. We will be sectioning off even more of the lot next time as this just seems to be growing every week, regardless of our short notice due to weather. I know we'll get that stretch of bad Saturdays, but for three weeks in a row it's been fun.

    Aren't we getting into semantics because isn't that was AMG does? Second, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought it was a Car Nutz car.

    No x 2 :).

    The car belongs to me. Although sometimes I think that I belong to the cars :)

    Yes, AMG does build performance parts for Mercs. But this is one of the rare exceptions of a complete build done in conjunction with HWA. Think of an Alpina built BMW or a Ruf built Porsche. They're actually considered (and VIN'd accordingly) Alpina and Ruf cars when they're complete builds rather than a modded BMW/Porsche.

    This might clear up a bit why it's no ordinary modded Merc:

    Just to clear up the discussion slightly, the CLS550 (the black/red one) is a Car Nutz car (and is modified), but the car in question here is B's CLK DTM AMG, the black car with the "unfkwthabl" plate on it.

    Ben- Sorry, I was talking about the other car, the red and black. I do love yours too but I didn't get a chance to look at yours in detail. I do know it by reputation as one ran with us in LA and it was incredibly fast. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks C for pointing it out.

    It sure is..........but have you seen how many of them (allocations) have popped up recently?? I was offered one at msrp earlier in the year. The sad thing about AMG and for that matter, all exotics is that they will depreciate like no ones business in this current environment. But for some reason AMG Benzes take a much bigger hit. I'll fathom a guess that in less then a year, you will be able to pick up a SL65BS at around 200k.....sadly.

    And that's when you'll start seeing them at RTC ;-)

    From REAL ROAD experiance...I can say Ben's car DOES do over 200MPH on the real roads of Montanna...

    I know as I was behind him in my 2007 LP640 Murcie on the Players Run..AND it was to my amazment that when I looked down we were keeping pace with him at over 200MPH on the clock...then we hit a "little" bump in the road and both of us became flying cars for a split second or two LOL LOL

    one hell of an adventure

    There as that time when I rode with a certain friend in his certain RUF Rturbo at over 200 mph on the Autobahn a few years ago. I lived long enough to share this video.

    So to see what it looks like on the other side of 200 mph, click here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPgpHwbwTLo

    You never know Michael...............that 200k just might buy you a brand new one at that time. In this environment there aren't many that will jump in at msrp or anywhere near it knowing they will take that 100k plus hit pretty much immediately. Poor Dealers.
