M-Benz continues to upgrade the current generation SLK !

New version of the 3.5 DOHC boasts 300 Hp and a 7200 rpm red line.

Now That's A SPORTS CAR ENGINE !

Think how much fun a Crossfire would be with that kind of power; If DCX had upgraded the Crossfire's drive train during it's production run to keep up with the rest of the competition in the sports car market it would have assured the car's performance credibility and I'm sure sales would have been much better. I'd LOVE to have the current generation SLK's motor in my Crossfire...

Uh, Slim, I believe that's what they call an SRT-6. Oops. No, the SRT has more power and torque. And, yes, it IS really fun to drive.
