The maintenace cost issue is a red herring. The only expensive maintenance is tranny fluid at 18000 and it is only about $1500. Anyone that can afford a $90k+ car should easily be able to afford that. All other maintenance costs are roughly the same as any other sports car. You ever get an oil change for a Porsche or Mercedes at a dealer? Ouch!

A CLK63 Black Series can't hold a candle to a GTR. Why do so many people love this vehicle? An M3 is a superior car. Its nice but its a heavy automatic.

Raw is the e46M3 my friend. Unending power doesn't make a car raw, many other things come into factor for a car to feel that way. It's nimbleness, engine noise (s54 ticking, rasp etc), it's gear changes, everything was raw about that thing. I miss it. Saw a girl driving mine the other day |

Nuf Said... 200+ MPH standing 1.5 Mile... daily driven GTR with Mid-Pipe & a Tune... And I agree... M3 is superior to CLK Black Series... but the Black Series is one gorgeous looking ride! Dave

I would never buy one.....but its a sick car, mad respect to Nisan for that one. Hell, for every GTR made, not just the ones that have made it to the U.S.
Cheers, e46e92

I've driven 2 CLK63 BS, as well as the new C63 BS. They are absolute riots to drive. The new C63 BS if more composed but just as ridiculous. If you don't get out of either car with a huge stupid-ass grin on your face and then proceed to justify to yourself why your M3 or GTR is better, you don't have a soul. |

The whole argument about what is "raw" is kind of useless. Generally the older a car is, the more "raw" it is. E30 > E36 > E46 > E92 in terms of raw factor. Yet each successor is faster than the previous in both a straight line and around the track. It's called progress. E46 is more raw than an E92, but by no means is it considered raw. I'd say a raw car lacks luxury features and is uncomfortable to drive on the street. An E46 definitely doesn't fit that category.

I think 95% of the people in this thread could not push a GT-R to the point where it shows it's 'soul'.

I owned one for nearly two years(13,000miles) and had a GTR at the same time. I dumped the CLK63 Black because its wasn't even close. Sorry but you're mistaken. The CLK63 is nice but its a big assed Merc with a terrible transmission.

How was the ride quality and road and wind noise? I've heard it is comparable to EDC-sport which to me is very comfortable for a sports car, but I've also heard it rattles your teeth and is not suitable for DDing.
