On tracks the CLK63 is no match for the 335i.
The M3 will be murder on the poor Merc.

What about M3 Sedan, do you guys think that it will have same 426 hp or less? I'd bet the same...

Well what I meant to say is that the M3 isn't competing against the CLK. I think a year or two after the M3 comes out the CLK is going to be replaced. Not to mention, the CLK63 coupe isn't even coming to the US so that right there means that MB don't consider the CLK M3's rival. It's C63 that has to take on the M3, even though it's a sedan.

Although I think the 335i is a great car, I doubt if it is faster than the CLK63.

CLK63 is a bitch around th track, there was some test in which it was way, way slower than 335 and even some hatchbacks around the track.

the CLK63 is a very underestimated car..beacuse its flawed..and old chassi
but ppl forget..it has freakin 481hp..thats NUTTS.. in a straigt line it should be fast as HELL..

Im subscribing to this thread. The M3 has always been and always will be a classic. We can pretty much assume that this car is going to blow the doors off the 911 CS, RS4, and even come close to matching the R8..maybe.
