I love that sound. Did the quarter mile in 12.76@108mph which is pretty decent given that the roof came off! No doubt can go faster once it's tweaked and nitrous added. Of course the standard SLK 55 AMG apparently can clock 12.7@111.2mph so it kinda make you wonder why bother, although I do appreciate the work that has gone into it. Personally I love the stock SLK for cruising around - if I wanted something to go really fast I'd probably start with something like an Ultima RS and do it properly. Part of me would also like a Demon 170, but I like my cars to also be able to go around corners. :)
