Those lap time differences are incredible and sadly it seems the CLK couldn’t beat most the competition on track or the straights

The CLK 63 AMG seems very quick in acceleration. It probably has a nice interior as well, just as a luxury GT should. The Corvette is much more focused on track duty and therefore weighs 631 pounds less than the AMG.
