    I always want the Persson Motorsport livery even as a street car. Although the naked silver looks classic.

    I like it, but getting into it over that door sill is crazy.

    Why are those mufflers so huge?

    And is that a super short shifter in the middle?

    It's just to put the car in a forward or reverse gear. The car has paddle shifters but there is also a clutch, you have to use the clutch to get moving but you can opt to shift without the clutch or with. Shifting without the clutch means a transmission rebuild in under 1000 miles. It's a true 100% race gearbox.

    I love this car, but let me just say that it would look much better with a different grille/headlight setup and without the protruding Merc emblem. Call me nitpicky (it is an awesome car), but it's just my opinion.

    Not bashing your opinion but how is it overdone? You're looking at function not a car built to look good. Function just usually looks exotic and pretty to many.

    when you get into the 1mil+ category, i'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the manufacturer really doesn't give a single shit about what the working class thinks about its aesthetics

    LOL

    And it's a homologation model, meaning it HAS to look like the regular CLK to meet racing standards for the class it raced in.

    1,000,000 can get me something that looks a hell of a lot slicker than that. ferrari f40, f50, or something that looks as sexy and does the job.
