a stock wrx STI would be hard pressed to beat the SLK 55 in straight line. most quotes are around 4.7-4.9 0-60 mph, while the 55 is 4.3-4.5.
I think AMG will release some sort of DSG/SMG transmission instead of a traditional manual, they shift faster and last longer, AND can be turned into an automatic through electronics.
