The porsche is modded so it might win ...
Of course if AMG55 wanted to try that 1/4 mile against me ... I'd take the bet.

so you don't own a benz anymore?? it'd be interesting if we can run a 1/4 mile drag against each other. i know from timeslips that SLK55 and carrera s, run about the same 1/4 mile ET (around 12.6ish). i've been able to pull off a 4.3 second 0-60mph time with upgraded eagle f1s. i am in the LA area so it'd be easy to find a place to meet up. i'd like to see your car in person as well.
my parents still have benzes, my mom has an e55 (see sig )
my car isnt stock, but it would still be a good comparison. i did stay with a e55 up to 140 last night (see kill stories) though, so i dunno, i think my car is a factory freak i also put an evomotorsports airbox on it today
but im down to run..... pm me

I would stay by the SLK 55AMG but I would upgrade it whit a kleemann kompresor performens kit, the top kit it will make your SLK as quick as a ferrari enzo and a slr Mc.
http://www.kleemann.dk/site/Main/eng...es/nav8engines
540HP and 700Nm.
0-100Km in 3.7sec(0.1sec slower than the enzo)

Adding a supercharger to the SLK55 certainly makes it a very fun car. However, there's still a way to go before it can be mentioned in the same breath as the 640bhp, track ready Enzo.

not to mention
that the only way you get that low 0-60 is with Slicks. There is just too much torque on these supercharged SLK55s.

enzo's can get to 60mph alot quicker than 3.6 seconds. (i believe 3.3)
they also run the 1/4 mile in less than 11 seconds. no SLK with just renntech/kleemann mods can match. only a renntech-modded SL65 AMG can match the enzo's performance on a straightaway.

The guy in dubai who swapped his engine with that of an SLR, did supposedly beat an Enzo in a race (it was video taped and posted on the net). The SLR engine is basically just a supercharged 55, as would be the Kleemann one if you did it. So whilst the Kleemann nets you 596hp, and the SLR engine did 620 or so, who knows, the SLK just might hang in there with the Enzo just fine. I'm thinking the 3.7 is a pretty conservative number, after all, MB says 4.9 for the SLK, and we've had people get it as low as 4.3 (slicks help). We're almost doubling the HP numbers (and adding torque), so it just might be possible.

i believe that the slr motor in that slk is not stock, not 100% sure though..... anyone????

my cousin pulled the resonators and mufflers off his ml63
http://youtube.com/watch?v=L862uS--myQ
he ended up putting the resonators back to improve (even out) the sound quality, still no mufflers though..... i believe he's been to the strip w/ the current setup too

Shinigami our friend "Mbslrwannabe" got to 4.298 seconds if i am not mistaken with his 07 SLK55 AMG no performance modifications, but I dont recall he had upgraded tyres.
Round it up and thats 4.3 seconds to be exact, no modificatins what so ever.

Specs
Just to compare some numbers from the same conductor. Car and Driver recently did a comparision between a V-8 Vantage, 911 Turbo, and the R8. The 911 was smoking hot with a 0-60 time of 3.8, and the R8 was 4.3.
Comparing to the test sheets with the Slk55 test a while back and you'll notice that the Slk:
1) match the R8 from 0-60. Killed the Vantage.
2) get to 100mph quicker than both the Vantage and the R8
3) get to the 1/4 mile quicker than the R8 & Vantage
4) has a better street start for 0-60 (at 4.6 vs 4.8) than both the R8 and the 911. Killed the Vantage in this.
5) stops from 70-0 in the shortest distance than all the other cars.
6) has a higher DBa rating than both the Vantage & R8 at full throttle, matching the 911.
I was surprised to see how well these specs look for the SLK. Especially when looking at the drastic different in street start vs 0-06 time for most of the car. The SLk looses very minimal time in comparision. It's the easiest to launch in a real world situation.

Thank you for shedding the light and proving the SLK is a pretty hefty contender to many new sports cars.
That is impressive though the V8 vantage , r8 and SLK55 has their own seperate benefits.
V8 Vantage just sounds terrific, the R8 is the best on the track and the SLK55 is fast and has a auto hardtop roof.

0-60
trust me I don't care how much power the car has ... if you want to get the 0-60 down into the 3s you will need Drag Slicks.
