Kleeman has built a monster!

I just got the latest issue of EVO and they tested a Kleeman modified SLK55 S8. The write up was very impressive. The HP/torque were of course through the roof, but apparently the handling is brilliant. They thought it was way more fun than an SLR........and just as quick! The price looked to be about $150K US. That's alot of dough for an SLK, but for the performance it is very competitive. I don't know how those tuner cars hold their value....but that car seems like it would make a great buy on the used market in a couple of years.

180 k is a bit much for an slk...im sure that money can be spent on something better...as far as value the hard part with tuner cars is finding someone who understands the vehicle and apperciates it at the higher price they are paying the average joe wont
