unlike the chevy or fords of today with hundreds of thousands of cases there are maybe a few thousand of these motors? i dont know how many srt6 were built but there are were 2056 slk32 amg shipped to the us
For $30K you can buy two of these cars. I bought a complete engine assembly from LKQ for $4k.
