SLK 32 AMG Top-speed

Hi,

just wondering what the SLK 32 AMG top-speed is.

What is the "easiest" modification to increace performance?

Improved "suspension", what changes have you made? Pros and cons

The SLK is limited to 155mph by an informal agreement among most European manufacturers. Actual top speed is much higher if you remove the limiter.

With US gearing it can run about 177mph. If you change the rear axle it should run close to 185-190. Supposedly early MB test mules of the car ran better than 190.

With the US - 3.07:1 rear diff its mechanical top speed is not 177mph, its 186mph / 300kmh GPS confirmed
