The next Best Motoring International DVD

Will feature the SLK55 AMG in a track battle with the new Boxster S, 350Z droptop, S2000, Z4 3.0 and Crossfire (not sure which version..... maybe the SRT-6). I suspect the AMG will win.....

Due out in November.

My prediction -- Outcome will depend on the track configuration. If it is a tight course, the Boxster will win, particularly if the SLK55 is shod with the skinny and slippery Pirelli P-Zero Neros. If the course has some long straights -- no question -- I'd put my money on the AMG.

The info suggests its the Tsukuba track which is tight with one long straight, the Boxster will need a clear lead on the straight to avoid being overtaken by the AMG...... in the twisty sections I'd be surprised if the AMG is faster than the Boxster but we shall see!
