detuned huh - the numer are close - he is probably correct - likely it is the tuned exhaust and bigger wheels we use, either way you are going to get it back after chipping... oh yeah and we are only 20lbs more than the SLK32. It is so obvious that they only did body kits on our cars...
It should not bug the AMG guys becuase next year they move to new platforms - the SLK and the AMG version look cool and have more power....
