There is no such thing as CLS280.
Theres the common 350, rare 500, then the 55 AMG (5.4 V8 S'charged), 63 AMG (6.2 V8 S'charged).
And there is no such thing as a CLS 65 yet

BUT, it will be out some day.

UE7, this is the CLS 280 pic ~!!!!


Attached thumbnail(s)

I'm talking about the CLSes in Malaysia;
theres no CLS280 petrol or the CLS320 diesels in Malaysia

is it seat behind CLS is comfortable and for no problem for 6" tall person. it will hit their head if sitting behind CLS?

Friend, are you intent to buy one ~???

Well, the 6.2L is the base Corvette. The "super" version is the Z06 (LS7 engine, 7.0L V8) and the ZR1 (7.0L V8 supercharged).

You say it costs RM360k, but do you know I can buy an Aston Martin V8 Vantage for about US$80k?

That's only RM240,000. Stupid Malaysian taxes. >.<

aikss.. just for information la. because saw it looks like sport sedan.. the curves are outstanding..

hey UE7...where's the detomaso???

he want to surprise us...haha

I'll post them someday, besides, I think the car is still in Sunway, maybe some of you can go check it out, see for yourself this amazing piece of machinery. Its in one of the alleys behind the shops.

yeah...the base Corvette C6 haha..... american's cheap, but only available in LHD
plus with the tax with be more

LHD is not so bad what... I drove there for a year, then came back, and I could instantly adjust...

Not so hard.

anyway CLS63 AMG is 6.2 v8 NA, not SC

ughhhh...i just dun dig american sports car..muscle retro or new...too brutal for my liking...prefer european/italian/japanese...more subtle and tastefully design...haha..guess its comes to one's preference.....nxt pls...

That's the appeal of American cars la. Pure brutal power..., not much of anything else. The interior of the Corvette is worse than a Hyundai or Kia..., and there's not much more in the Viper.

G8 is great though, since its actually an Australian Holden Commodore converted for US Pontiac use.

ya...powerpowerpower....but sucks when comes to handling...opss...too much clarkson maybe...hehe.. ...g8 was one of topgear's favourite car is not mistaken..hehe...coret me if wrong..haha.

the latest corvette z06 is pretty good in tracks .. compareble to porche 911 turbo

Corvette is decent on handling..., though I can't say the same for the Mustang and the Viper.

Still, the latter two were built for straight line drag racing.

here it is.

Need more sexy pics of it from UE7 or Antype

Well, though muscle cars of today have lots of faults (Mustang/Shelby, 300C/Charger SRT8, Corvette, Viper, etc) not much other cars out there have their appeal. Their cars are styled purely American design and their engines are as enormous as they were during the original muscle car era.

American cars are really criticized a lot by the world.
Think about it; wouldn't it feel weird if a big American sedan had some really sharp handling? Or some big fat American coupe that can be taken to the sharpest circuits and produce the best lap times?
Yes. It will feel weird if an American car is perfect.
American cars are not perfect and thats why I love them. I love the way they are unsophisticated. I love the way they are very heavy and has mediocre handling. I love the way they have enormous dimensions. I love the very American styling. I just love the whole package.


Why it really appeals to me more is that, in Malaysia, muscle cars are extremely rare, in fact all US-made cars are rare, and owning one will make your car really stand out and be unique. In Malaysia, all V8 cars are MBs or Ferraris, SUVs and such.
You want to experience the real feel of a real V8, you drive a muscle car. Full stop.


As for the current Corvette C6 Z06, it has been a massive improvement overall from its predecessor - the C5.
It can be taken to the track, and driven properly it gives the right lap times. The Z06 is is quite often the benchmark now for an entry-level supercar.
