Makes a lot of sense. So in turn I would assume the engine used in the SLK 320 NA is the same as the Crossfire NA. It is what I was getting at but would love to know real output. I have hear people saying the 320 engine in the Crossfire has an output of around 255 PS!
This leads me to another question...since the Xfire is lighter than its MB counterpart, should the performance output in regards to track times not be better as well?
Is it safe to say the Crossfire was superior to the SLK??? I sure still am fascinated by the looks of Crossfire's...can keep up with any performance vehicle in its original price segment today as far as looks are concerned. This I can't say about the SLK that just looks dated!!
