738ft-lb's of Torque in a 2004 car is insane even 17 years later. But I'd say it would be a lot of fun on a track if speed wasn't your goal. It's a grand tourer at heart though

and it's a little bit faster than an impreza, slower than an evo and so much less reliable than a pulsar vzr. Overall, a great mobile living room.

Europeans are. You've just done it in different ways... Us in the US, we've decided to gain power by showing off our military programs, and our economy (which used to be good...). Over the pond, as they say, you Europeans have other things... You show off engineering feats. Great bridges, highspeed trains, the chunnel, for god's sake, they are all masterpieces. Don't diss on yourself, Europe is a great continent.

@ragingbull94mtx 14 лет назад

@Camper1234599 Oh yeah, your car (my dream car!) is extremely rare! You're about 10x more likely to see a C216 CL63 AMG than you are another C215 CL65... and I've only ever seen one CL63 on the road! The rarest AMG sold in the US is the R63... just 30! Though I suspect it has less to do with exclusivity and more to do with the fact that buyers preferred the ML63... but I digress. You sir, have a cool car, and I love this video!

ive got a cl55 AMG (500bhp) and let me assure u that nobody buys these cars to go fast around a track. most of the people commenting will never have the money to appreciate a car like this. i cud modify a nova to do 1.29 round the test track..... doesnt make it a good car!

@Makron5 15 лет назад

I don't call them that. It's mostly to do with the high performance cars of the 1960s-1970s era or heavily based on them like the New Challenger. The New Challenger lives up to its older brother by being just like the old one, a giant bottle rocket engine strapped to a chassis that turns like a boat. Muscle Cars are quite fun to take around bends. Corvette could smoke the Challenger, but you don't get that same sense of accomplishment and turning with the throttle.

@0newishisal 11 лет назад

W211 chassis is the best

@nightmoodandy9146 3 года назад

The hydraulic suspension is even better 😆

@Hyce777 15 лет назад

I didn't say any when it was manufactured. I just said originally. Anyways, that's just saying that you value the USA over every other country that is in either of the Americas.

@Hyce777 15 лет назад

I never made any comment against the UK itself. I don't exactly care what nation is better than which- In a sense, we're just people, in different parts of the world, calling our homes different things. The UK is a fine area of the world. I've never been there, but I've wanted to visit.

@cookiehead2 15 лет назад

It looks to me like it needs wider wheels and better tires. It's a Mercedes, so it's going to be heavy. There's nothing you can do about that, but I think it needs a 315 series tire in the back at least.

@Hyce777 15 лет назад

Technically, they are. They have a big engine, and muscle cars don't need big boxy looks. Corvettes are sexy, and just because they have better steering, doesn't make them not a muscle car. No one ever said the handling of a muscle car HAS to be bad. The Corvette is technically a muscle car.

@Makron5 15 лет назад

Also the Corvette is a sleek sports car and the ZR-1 threatens for the top spot with its amazing handling and even more amazing power. They are amazing but they are not muscle cars in many definitions. The Muscle car is more than an American car with a big engine.

@Hyce777 15 лет назад

You've got to remember the original Corvette- I believe, that it was manufactured as a muscle car. Some of the lower end versions don't have the nice handling of the ZR-1, either, and may seem more like a muscle car, rather than a sports car. And just for politically correctness, you shouldn't call them "American" cars. They should be cars from the USA. The USA is not America, it is a very small fraction of it.
