WHY dont they make an SLK65 AMG?? all the do is give ther higher up models to
the CL and CLK class IE, GTR AMG, SS, BS, 65, and so on i mean they do have th
BS,65,SLR of the S class but why dont they do it with a SLK class?? hell if i
had the money id buy a SLK GTR, forget the minamal SLK BS theres not too much
difference from a norm. could yall imagine a SLKR??

this car doesn't need a 5.4l v8, it could give this power from a 3.2l or 3.5l
turbo v6.

the correct weight is 1553kg according to sportauto 10/2006
It could but it would be no way near as cool as it is with 5.4 V8. And the big
V8 is not just impressive on spec sheet. It has way more grunt than 3.2 V6 and
the sound is almost priceless. And V8 better suits the AMG hot-rod-ish
character.
