Default In reality, they are really slow. It is all a marketing gimmick from Mercedes....

kidding of course =)

One of our former TT owners defected to the other side and bought the AMG SLK. She is quite happy with it and it screams like a raped ape. Needless to say there is not much on the road that can hang. Her *handle* is 225TTR

Ask her all about it...she still hangs here with us lowly folk

Default Have one as a test car for the company I work for.......

Truly bada$$, except for being auto only, no
manual trans. Is VERY quick, handles very well,
and brakes very well also.

Default Yup, you're just late.... ;-)

It's called the SLK32 AMG and does 0-60mph in 4.5 seconds. It has the AMG engine, AMG Speedshift transmission, brakes, suspension, exhaust, seats, wheels, etc. and is a total blast to drive. The Quattro Club was even kind enough to let me on the track with them in early October at Summit Point and it was great fun. (When I signed up I owned a modified 225 TT Roadster.)

Feel free to email or post if you'd like more info.

Default But this isn't your father's 'automatic' ... I've said it before, but you really need to test drive

one to believe it. (BTW, race cars are 'automatics' too.)
