That's what most of the debate revolves around, the "numbers" provided by the magazine. The SLK 32 has a terrible 60 ft time (automatic tranny), but it pulls really hard once it's into 2nd gear, so the 13.0s 1/4 mile times that everyone's getting is misleading. The MPH figure is a bit higher than other cars hitting 13 flat. Because of this, the SLK 32 excels in rolling start races.
The fastest stock SLK 32 that's hitting high 12's now on the SLK forums. There's a renntech SLK 32 (around 410hp) that does 12.8's at 5000ft altitude.

Vaeth supposedly has an exhaust, pulley, and upgraded interccoler for the SLK32. Those are the only mods I know about for the 32 engine. Claims are about 50-60 hp.

Renntech has ECU, pulley, exhaust for the car good for 50hp/50tq at the wheels. There's another company that has ECU, pulley, exhaust, cam, intake, but no word on power figures.

Glen, please re read my post. I wrote
"well.. i ran 13.085 @108.**.. my 1st time on the track w/ the car. My friend just ran last night at Capitor Raceway and got 12.91@108.**... that's his second time.. his 1st time running, he got 13.3.. he didn't hookup what soever... "
I explainded that 12.9 was his second time running w/ his SLK. His first time, he got 13.3 in which he didn't hook up what so ever.
and to answer how much i race.. I believe i'm not as experience as u are. but I'm not a complete newbe.. heheh
so, how's the race w/ the miata girl??
