    Hope to see more of Tommy in the future - fantastic guest to have on the show.
  • @JDelta87
    The CLK63 is one of my favorite Mercedes designs. At a quick glance to non enthusiasts, it looks like a normal C class with some extra bits but is so much more than that and it sounds amazing.
  • @SerPurple51
    The naturally aspirated Mercedes 6.2 V8 exhaust note is one of the most brutal, yet magically sounding exhausts.
  • @jeffreyoldham55
    The lines & proportions of this car are just beautiful. A perfect balance of styling & performance. Having TK show us the car was a real treat. I can't believe that Jay left him behind at the garage!
  • @jhetubejhe
    Tommy’s comment about guest drivers trying to impress him, reminds me of a similar line from Derek Bell at a Porsche Driving Experience day in 1991, when he said “Don’t try and impress me - I have won Le Mans 5 times. I can go out on my own anytime and prove that adrenaline is brown”

    Man, I'll never forget when these first came out. I was walking to my bus stop and this one was sitting at a light, waiting to make a right onto ventura blvd. It had the optional aero with the wing and everything. He floored it and slid out onto ventura and it hooked and he just slammed out of there. It was amazing to see one right when they came out, but the sound, the way it hooked and looked will always be something I'll remember. I was just replaying it over and over in my head the whole bus ride.
  • Glad I bought one 10 years ago for 40k been babying it since then one of the most iconic mercedes of its time
  • Episodes like these are worth their weight in gold! -genuinely great car -great enthusiastic guest -genuinely entertained Jay Leno 👍
  • @b.w.g.7302
    Loved their conversation. Tommy Kendall needs his own YouTube channel. You’ve got a subscriber right here !
  • Gorgeous in Red. Prices were already high on these, now with this film…. Will go even higher.
  • @AndrewMalary
    This car really is everything. I drove the hell out of a 2013 when I used to work at a Ferrari dealer. It has absolutely amazing performance. It's like putting on an Iron man suit. You feel invincible when you drive this car.
  • Really cool to see Tommy K. Only undefeated driver in racing history. L. A. Native !!!👍🤙✌ Thanks Jay !!!!!
  • @remek_ember
    Jay talking about he AMG factoy, amazed by it's relatively modest floor area: "...I don't think it's as big as this garage!" I cracked up
  • @davidporeilly1
    Thank you Jay Leno. This was one of your best. The mutual respect and chemistry between you and Tommy Kendall, his modesty about his racing career and a car you both liked. Pure entertainment. Mr Tommy Kendall, from an Aussie-respect, you didn't just drive at Bathurst you came 8th and the 7 cars ahead of you contained an honour roll of legends. I confess I had not heard of you before but I know who you are now sir.
  • @michaelzepp5816
    I never get tired of watching anything informative on cars, and Mr Leno Sir, you always have the best guests and the best info, please keep it coming!!
  • @wiechersify
    This is my favorite era of AMG’s this together with the CLK DTM is my favorite AMG ever. These engines had the headbolt issue. Nevertheless the most understated, timeless and beautiful AMG’s ever. In my opinion.
  • Had a 2011 AMG C63 sedan. Looooved that vehicle. The power, the sound... absolutely epic.
  • @bobbyb69
    Tommy is a legend. He's raced more miles that I have driven in my life. Much respect!
  • @arreslee8740
    So happy to see mister Leno enjoying what he loves. A joy to ride along and both receiving quality information concerning the vehicles featured as well as a well narrated personal experience of driving each one. A pleasure to watch yet again. Greetings from the Netherlands and please continue the good work. Kind regards.
