Dope video, but I still can't believe it. An SL with an SLR engine would be a little more believable.

The SL weighs a lot more than the SLK, why would it be more believable??

I am sure he means the engine swap. No one has dropped in a 55K in an SLK (that I heard of) and the SLR motor needs more clearance due to the top-mount cooling system. The SLK is a good deal smaller than the SL, so he was probably surprised that it could be retrofitted into an R171 body.
