in a race who will win SLK32 or M3.... The M3 is a 2004 M3 with SMG not stick.... vs the lovely 2003 SLK 32 AMG.... who will win?????

Straight line the SLK32 will win.

Around the track, the M3 might edge out the SLK32, and the Manual transmission in M3 will give it an edge in controllability.

i would say m3 also, track wise

It depends on the track AND driver. The SLK is quite a capable car especially in the right hands. I have found that mine will easily pull and M3 in acceleration. The SLK is not as inferior as some magazines might lead you to believe when compared to the M3.

So perhaps you could define what type of competition you are talking about. In 0-60 times and 1/4 mile the SLK will spank a stock M3. Also the automatic is not quite the handicap people might think. The SLK will lock up each gear just like a manual so you get the directness of a manual in most situations.

the type of race im talking about is a 0-60 race.....

the slk32 will eat an m3 in a straight line race, they tend to roll 109/110 in the 1/4.

The SLK32 AMG does 0-60 in just under 5sec. The M3 w/ SMG ddoes 0-60 in 5.2sec. In other words: The SLK32 AMG wins in a 0-60 race.

It´s a very very close call.

The temperature is as you can see 10 degrees higher during the test with the M3. Maybe that made the difference?

Cab down and the M3 will smoke you.

my sister has a SLK32 and my brother has a 2003 SMG M3

and so far all the times they would race my sister would win. I was riding with my sister and we had a rolling start and we probably won about 1 car length.

So my answer: SLK32 on a straight away
M3 on the track.

the 0-60 doesn't really matter when it comes to racing, the quarter mile is the thing that matters more
