AS for the misstated HP,
my Dyno illustrates well that the stock is identical to the SLK32, at 349:
As far as I'm aware, the only non-shared components are the brakes, which are better on the '6. They're from another Benz, the c32, I believe.
Are you willing to acknowledge that the cars are mechanically identical? You're response to me was a straw man argument, as I made it clear that the cars are cosmetically different, and that is all you pointed out.
having never seen a srt-6 in person i cannot say they are mechanicly identical. i do believe they are. as i stated before the pencil pushers at benz werent going to waste good mechanical stock so therein is born the srt-6.
as for brakes my 32 does not share the c32 front brakes. actually the c32 fronts are bigger than the slk32.
cosmetics are a large part of the amg image. it is what differentiates them from the same car style non amg ie: the slk320
what you said in your post was that the srt-6 is a rebodied slk32 . no true. you also insinuated that i was scampering away and hiding. again not true. if i believe to be wrong im man enough to admit it.
for the last and final time badge the car anyway you want. put ferrari emblems on it if you want it wont make it any more a ferrari as it wont make it a mercredes benz amg to those who dont know any better it may impress them to those of us who do know better it will only make you look foolish
