Default Re: question about the engine.

IF the engine is the same as the SLK32, than its a hand built AMG V6 engine. Its not the same as our current 3.2 with a supercharger, it has better tolerances. Also Mercedes does not have a 6 speed transmission that will handle the torque of the supercharged 3.2 engine.

what i'm getting at is this. if that is the only difference then couldn't you get one and then buy a 6spd transmission to replace the auto.? yes it would cost more but you'd have the manual instead of auto :twisted:
