Those things weigh under 3400 lbs i believe. I cant imagine how quick my e55 would feel with that much of a weight loss. That little car is going to HAUL!

I absolutely adore the SLK55 and with a 55K engine and weighing in at 3400ish lbs. it'll be a true beast.

Thanks!

Damn, would like to know what issues they had if any and the way they over came them. The biggest hurdle would be the ECU but I imagine they just used a 55K ECU. I know the 55K has been installed in crossfires before so it's totally possible.
