2004 SLK32 AMG Performance Problems?
Good evening, guys! I'm a proud new owner of a 2004 SLK32 AMG, and I love the car. However, while I was doing some browsing around the web, I noticed that people are stating a 0-60 time of under 5 seconds. Mine (2004 with only 23k miles) is over seven right now! I'm going to do some investigating on my own of course, but does anyone have some pointers as to some specific areas I should be looking to see what's holding the beast back?
Thanks so much in advance!

Might be the common intercooler pump failure as seen in this thread:https://mbworld.org/forums/c32-amg-c55-amg-w203/196978-new-me-c32-amg-acceleration-issues-help.html
If you are still under factory or CPO warranty then your dealership could
look into it, else for DIY check this thread:

It souds like the IC pump. When you get that straight....some software and a pulley will give you some kick!
