Default SLK 230 - 192HP/200lb-ft. engine in a 3100 lbs. car

I'd say it could take a 12v. If you go up against a 6 speed, forget it. The only chance I'd say would be a 5 speed, 12v FWD against the auto SLK.

Default you got to be kidding. I smoke those all the time w/ 1.8t chipped quattro.

and if you put any turns in the mix, forget about it.

Default My GF's SLK230K is quite a bit faster than my car on the highway...

From 55-100, she gains at least 2-3 car lengths on me. There is no "driver skill" issue here, since both of us are driving slushboxes...

Did you read my post? I said against a 12v. Of course chipped 1.8t would win

Actually, from what I've read, the 12v weighs just under 3000 lbs.
