Default Re: boo, why'd they nix the C32. V8 is more lux i guess?
That's probably my next ride :-)

Default Nice. But won't that puppy be more nose-heavy than the C32?
Or does the plumbing for the C32's supercharger make up the weight difference?

In any event, V8 will less prone to mods. Hmm....

Default SLK55, C55 and CLK55 have old-style non-supercharged V8. But lower V6 models will get new 4-valve
3.5 liter V6 with separately controlled intake and exhaust infinitely variable valve timing (275 hp).

Once I get them back, hopefully brand new replacements, I'll hit you up. Rui can get a deal on Fk setups so I am going to give those a whirl.

Default Agree, the additional weight is not worth the 13hp over the C32..
Especially when you look at the tuning potential of the C32, oh well V8's rule arg.

(repost?) New AutoWeek has a 3-page spread on the MkII. Not too flattering on the MKI either...
