  | Re: Autobild: 997 GT3 vs CLK63 Black Series I'm weak for the CLK BS it's a stunning looking machine. But looking at the performance figures and price tag compared with the GT3 it does look quite overpriced. The weight reduction could have been more extensive because now it's a GT with a sexy body kit and too much weight. |

| Re: Autobild: 997 GT3 vs CLK63 Black Series I would ever choose the GT3 over a Mercedes Black Series...  ...the CLK isn't bad - but compared to the Porsche...

| Re: Autobild: 997 GT3 vs CLK63 Black Series Hmmm, GT3 has more performance in every aspect, is cheaper, has way better fuel efficiency... Pretty clear choice for me

| Re: Autobild: 997 GT3 vs CLK63 Black Series If I had the means, I would buy a GT3 now, as it truly is my favourite Porsche at the moment. For the track, it would be perfect if the GT3 came with some sort of sequential manual or dual clutch gearbox. In my mind, the CLK63 BS is the clear loser here, when you consider the price of these cars and what they were designed to do (basically street cars for track duty). I'm sure the CLK63 BS will blow away every other current AMG or M product.

| Re: Autobild: 997 GT3 vs CLK63 Black Series I didn't have to think about this one... I blinked, I clicked. Obvious choice here - it's the GT3 of course. I'll take mine in white, with PCCB and SportChrono pack in particular. Ta.

| Re: Autobild: 997 GT3 vs CLK63 Black Series As a Mercedes fan, I chose... hey, the GT3 of course, and in a heartbeat!! Like the BS, but the CLK is old now (stuning what they did with that old and not so sporty base, at AMG/HWA!). And obviously overpriced. And the GT3 is just... well a GT3. A 911. A masterpiece. One of the better sportscar ever made... |
