Unfortunately, 2 of the 5 were lemons. They weren't actually made by Mercedes Benz, but rather some small design group who managed to get a hold of the patent and produce 5 of the CLK GTR Roadsters with Mercedes permission.
They were seriously overpriced, beyond inflated prices, and no one bought any at first. I believe it took them something like 2-3yrs to sell the whole 5. After word got out about 1 of them being a lemon, I can understand why.....

Poor taste in my opinion. The 08 Camaro and Mustang are nothing special, just a retro attempt at muscle.

The CLK GTR sold well off the showroom floors. All 25 were sold prior to their production.

One middle eastern man went further, and had the car taken back to Mercedes Germany and upgraded to the race spec Le Mans engine - it was dubbed the Mercedes Benz CLK GTR Supersport (which co-incidentally, is the same 7.3L engine as in the Pagani Zonda varients)

Okay ... maybe the Mustang as Ford in it's infinite wisdom decided to fit a solid rear axle in it ... it's suppose to look like a 1970's muscle car not handle like one !!!

Yeah.. Americans obviously can't make anything good looking so they're just pandering to the redneck mob by releasing the classics that look slightly modernised and 100% ... crap ...

Better than taking a 1960's design and then attempting to re-release it in the 2000's as a re-run. brb, I've got some Happy Days to watch rolleyes.gif

Few people getting confused with the toughness of the car and the look of the car. Lambo? Looks like practically the same for the last 20 years of so of manufacture. Ferrrari? Similar story.
