Wooo! Looks awesome!

=D Thanks! It's nice to occasionally have a clean car! As hard as it is with working next to a construction zone!

Nice AMG man

Thank you! =3~

A gorgeous piece of automotive engineering!

Thank you! I think it's quite pretty myself!

Oh man those brakes are big :P

Oh yeah, they're very spoiling! And this was the perfect model year, because all of the years afterward the high-end brake package was extra (the front brakes went down a piston set actually)~

Hahaha, with my rex it's the otherway around, bug eyes came with bigger brakes stock. :C

Surely it can't weigh that much? They look like 6/4! Massive!

Yeah, they're 6/4~

The car is heavier than it looks...5.4+ L V8 in a little 2-seater. I've managed 4.4s 0-62, though pros have been able to do it faster~

Before I bought the car I was watching a few roadster races, and one of them had the SLK55 against a Boxster, Crossfire, 350z, S2000, and Z4...the SLK destroyed them (the engine is just unfair), but another thing they noted was that whereas all the other cars eventually lost braking power, the AMG never did. They literally just kept the throttle up and modulated brake usage in turns~

Also, WRXs are fun! You can actually push those without doing drastically illegal things (a downside to my car. Everyone knows if I push it with the new exhaust, and it's really way too fast for a daily driver...not that such things stop me!)

Hahaha, the WRX is drastically illegal, it does 0-100(kph) in just under 4s, insane amounts of fun.

The EVO is all legal and about the same power, but has S-AYC so it's a wizard around corners and braking. :P

But that must be really quick though, I've driven a new Boxster S, they are properly fast. :3

Mmhmm!It is properly fast...at least enough for me! I say many times that my car is much better than the driver! x3

Last Porsche I test drove was a base 2007 Boxster (let's face it, the Boxster and its variants are all I'd be able to afford, lol) and albeit fun, it just didn't have the power delivery that the SLK55 (or newer Boxsters I imagine) had~

Hahaha, we still wanna get something big and powerful, the wolf has had a modena and 76' 911 before, but I want something big and meaty :P

Merc V8's sound great regardless too <3 We have an old 450SL and it sounds great. :3

Mmhmm! No replacement for displacement! Though modern small-engine cars can still be fast and fun, nothing is like a good-sounding obnoxiously large engine! <3

Yuh, we decided to get a B4 on set a few months back as a cruiser, and it sounds really tough for a 2l boxer, the WRX is louder, but the B4 roars, it's a really strange little engine. I had a hail damaged ex-interceptor SS commodore when I was 17 here with a big LS1 in it, I'm still sad I never took the exhaust off to see what it sounded like. :P

Just seeing this, and noting how dated the pic is, you better still fuqqing own this

The AMG SLK's never get enough love

orz

I do! I've different wheels (19" two-tones) and it only gets out once or twice a week (my commute is pretty far) and it's filthy as all heck (it rarely gets washed), but I still love my lovely little beast!!!

I test drove one of the newer SLC43s and...well, honestly I just like my SLK55 more, so I'll be sticking with it for a while!

SLK is my favorite body style, I was jaw dropped when I saw this in here I°D hahaha

Bud

For sure! I still have my SLK55 (I've got different, larger/wider wheels on it now) and love it to death, nothing like top down driving when it's nice out!

It's a great blend of pretty and performance IMO! <3

Very nice :⁰D
