Did you get to drive a C63 before you ordered it? Wondering what your thoughts are between driving them. I did have the pleasure to drive a C63 a couple weeks ago and it was an experience I won't soon forget. Obviously I know a C63 and SLK55 are completely different beasts, I'm interested in what you thought of the pulling power and acceleration.

I'm thinking of picking up a '06 or newer SLK55 after we move.

I almost bought an slk55 before getting my c63. But there was something about only 1 passenger that had my thinking. And it also had the old powerplant. Still, the slk55 is one sexy beast!

I love both of these cars and thoroughly enjoy driving them whenever we have one in to tune.

They are both so different, I doubt that I could pick between the two... so knowing me, I would end up with both!

I would love to get my hands on an SLK55 and then fit the AMG supercharger on it. That would be one hell of a fun car.

But like MJ said, after 3 hours you're gonna want to kill yourself in that tiny thing.
