i never said the clk-gtr was a full production vehicle......i was just saying that if a mere concept car such as the me four-twelve is being hyped up and compared to the f1 and enzo, why isn't the benz which was actually produced (albeit very limited) and is older than the enzo even mentioned in most comparisons.....in fact, i believe mercedes made like 5-6 clk-gtr roadsters as recently as 2002....where was the hype for that? i dunno, maybe its simply bad advertising on mercedes part, but its just that pretty much everybody worships the mclaren f1 as being the fastest car ever and i never hear any credit given to the benz, which, according to the stats i've seen, should be able to easily outaccelerate an f1 through the quarter......i don't know how it performs on a track though but since its practically a race car, i would assume it must be pretty good

o and btw, apparently the xjr15 had god-awful handling and a whiny engine.....that explains why i don't see much mention of it in this caliber of cars.
