Basicaly both cars have the same engine.
Both are rear wheel drive of course...

I'd go for the CLK DTM.
It's more a race car then the SLR
And it's even more seldom then the SLR.

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

SLR for me. I prefer luxury- I'm into all the luxurious, fast cars. (i.e., RS6, Jaguar XJR, BMW M3)

[Merrill]

SLR 4 me......more like a every day car instead of the DTM

[Sweeney921]

there's no way I'm choosing the SLR. An automatic transmission on a supercar?!?!?!?! Also I think it looks like crap

[dimlight]

Watch (or appreciate would be more appropiate)the SLR in person first my friend to say its crap.. i almost crashed the other day because i saw one in my rear view mirror..


Perfection.. automatic... yesss.. the fastest automatic car in the world

[Sweeney921]

it's still an automatic, and I'm pretty sure the CLK DTM could take on the SLR on most tracks, since the SLR weighs nearly 4000 pounds. I'm not gonna get one of these cars and not race it.

[dimlight]

So is the dtm.. it weighs almost 4000 as well.

SLR all the way.. i prefer the mclaren chassis
luxury.. that red leather kills me.. its more pleasant to look a.. especially with that formula 1 style grille... the slr brakes turn red when you use them alot.. it has that little neat backwing trademark of mclaren.

You should watch this car perform in that top gear video its incredible.. its braking capacity is tremendous. It will break from 100 mph to 0 in a distance where a car is supposed to break from 60 to 0.. amazing..

In fact the CLK DTM is 124kg heavier than the SLR.

The brakes bite like hell. You will have some problems using them for your
everyday rides.
Rowan Atkinson drove the SLR a hole day to check out the performance as
"everyday car".
His comment about the brakes was:
"You press a little, nothing happens. You press harder, nothing happens. Press harder and Ooof! the brakes come on with a vengeance."
Same if you want to release the brakes

[dimlight]

Pardon.. i meant 120 to 0... double

it is truly braking vengeance andy

[illusionest]

SLR!!!
w00t
slr all the way! its the best.

[McLareN]

SLR by far...

[Coventrysucks]

Comfortable spacious GT, or a heavier, slower "race" car with an auto box.

SLR please.

[more-boost1555]

just looks awesome.

[PerfAdv]

SLR for most of the reasons stated above and because it's 9 MPH faster.

[deffenbaugh03]

I think i'm gonna have to go with the CLK DTM, becuase they are both very close in performance, and i like the overall apearance of the DTM better, i don't really like the SLR's looks too much.
