According to that video, the 0-60 is 4.5 and 1/4 is 13s. Nice!

Wow, what a great video! IS C&D the only mag that gave it 4.5 for 0-60 stock?

I also thought that the SLK32 should have come with a manual gearbox as an option, but after reading that the performance of an autobox SLK320 was the same as one with a 6 speed gearbox, and after driving my wife's '32, I don't see why it would need a 6 speed (unless you autocross it). The AMG automatic transmission shifts and reacts faster than any slushbox I've driven, and with performance like 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and the quarter mile in 13.0 at 110, who can throw stones?

yes, you can ED, search for C32 and CLK55 convertible review by AUTOWEEK. I've the video downloaded at home some where. I'm sure you can downloaded it by using one of those download programs.

No offense guys, but this board is the slowest moving board I've ever seen. Maybe there aren't a whole lot of SLK32s out there, but Frank just replied to a post made by eyuan23 back in Sep of 2002! :o Oh well, I guess I'll check back here in a year or two.

wasn't paying attention to the date. oh wellz. why r u replying to a old thread then?

btw, it's slow because it's a SLK forum. C, CLK, AMG forums etc all have much more traffic.

Hi Frank,
Yes, I guess there aren't too many SLK32s out there. I'll check out the other forums you suggested. Thanks.
