SLK 350

If the power of SLK55 not enough for you, why just get a SL? I believe that will be money well spent comparing to modife a SLK.
As far as I know, modified a MB is not a smart idea.

My 2 cents !

I don't agree with getting a SL, SL does look nice and very elegant but it's a boat and not very fun to drive on the track, SLK55 is great on both road and track.

I agree, modding a MB is expensive.

Hi ..now I drive an slk350 with all the options.
I really dislike the Sl they are all over.
I live in Studio City.
I was hoping to get a SLK63 but have to wait another 5-5 years. I love the body style of theSLK.

I Am ok with the power of it... Just Alittle more would be perfect arround 400HP

okay

no idea where studio city is ...

To get to around 400 hp (crank) :

Air Filters (BMC, Green, K&N)
Air box
Shorty Headers or Long Tube (you can get even more HP with Long Tube)
ECU Tune (Renntech, Kleemann, Powerchip, to name a few)

that should get you to 400 at the crank.

My thoughts

I shall probably be ridden out of town on a rail for saying this, but I am quite concerned about the every day comfort of the SLK55 with the 030 performance package. As is, this SLK55 rides hard; add to it the more taught suspension of the 030 package, I am concerned that, under typical road conditions, riding in the car will be nearly painful due to the lack of give in the suspension.
