Brabus Performance Tune up. Is it worth it?
Anyone have any information about getting a Brabus SLK tune up? They have several tune ups that raise the horsepower to ridiculous speeds. They even have one faster than the SLK32. But does anyone have any experience with this? Know any problems with the tune up? Or does it really kick ***?

'02 SLK32 AMG
Have you looked at their prices? Generally, they're so high that you might as well trade up for an SLK32 and get better performance, better warranty, and better resale value.
The standard tuning package for the SLK230 has 250 HP and the standard tuning package for the SLK320 has 300hp. Neither are quicker than the SLK32 AMG.
As far as I know, the only SLK tuning they have that is quicker than the SLK32 is their V8 SLK. It does 0-100kph in 4.7s and costs about $160,000. At that price, I can think of alot of other cars I'd rather have than a modified SLK.

Out Of Control!!
While Brabus engines are definitely impressive, they are by far overpriced. There are many other options you can do to increase power, or power to the wheels, that would not cost close to as much. Even then, you can always put a Kleeman kit on it.
