    Default Official Pics of the new R171 SLK

    Including the SLK55 AMG!

    I'm beginning to really like it... especially the SLK55 - the rear spoiler and quad exhaust are

    Ohhh, official specs!!! Time to benchrace :

    2005 SLK 55 AMG - 360hp, 7 speed tranny, 3400lbs no driver.
    2004 SLK 32 AMG - 349hp, 5 speed tranny, 3250lbs no driver.

    I think the new car's gonna have a slight edge... now, imagine a supercharger strapped onto the car.

    500hp, 7 speed tranny, 3400lbs no driver.

    Too bad the car's so fugly. I still hate it. Maybe it'll look better in person...

    AMG. Definetly a weird design with the large emblem and whatnot, but i think it will be a very impressive car in person.

    I think it looks quite good in AMG form. Looks too wimpy otherwise tho

    rage... Kleemann has a supercharger application for all the AMG NA 5.5l V8s - Output is 560hp+ and 530 lb/ft of torque!!! on a 3400 lb car?!?!? I cannot wait - The E55 killer!

    hehe once you get it, let me know if it has an LSD. That's probably my only real concern, if you don't count it's butt ugly looks lol.

    Speaking of LSD... I know a guy who will do a conversion for $1,200... interested? He know his stuff and here's what he says

    "I can make ANY Mercedes Diff a Limited slip for $1,200.
    "We don't weld them. We disassemble the diff and remove the carrier. Then disassemble the carrier. We machine down the two spiders that spline into the output shaft and install clutches on them. Then we fabricate a steel block that goes between the two spiders and houses springs that apply pressure to the spiders and thus the clutches. These springs are interchageable and can be replaced.

    The whole unit can be ''repacked'' at any time."

    Interested? If you are email me and I'll get you his info. (I'll cross post this in the "other room")

    Surprising there was still room for some grill after the emblem was put on the front!

    I think they look good ! I like them more then the oldone, it is more stylish then the old SLK, but the old SLK is a classic now !

    However, it in other market, I will go for a 206CC, or 306CC...etc...
    The Original !
