They had the full specs of the 2004 CLK55 in Car and Driver a couple of months ago. When I go home tonight I will try and look it up. Unfortuanetly I don't have a scanner.
I'll post the info tomorrow.



What I would like to know is how many 2003 CLK55's were made for the United States??

CLK55's built

im not quite sure how many exactly were sold in the US but i know that every MB dealership in the country got only 1 W209 CLK55 AMG. im not sure if that means they replace the ones sold or not but i know that it is one of the more rare AMG's. My dad for example owns a 2003 CLK55 AMG and we live in Oregon but we got it from Ohio and weve seen only 2 others in Oregon and im not quite sure but we should have around that many MB dealerships around here. btw Auto week gave the 2003 CLK55's a .83 g's for the skidpad rating and road and track gave the 2001 clk55's a .91 so thats why i am curious to know the specs

thanks a lot for the specs. i can't believe though that the clk handles only at .87g's. in road and track the old 2001 CLK55 amg got rated at .91. do u think if car and driver did the test that the old one would handle better than the w209?
