Now don't get me wrong I absolutely love my 350 and pamper it better than any woman, as a matter of fact It's as if I'm possesed by some kind of SLK illness that is developing into an obsesssion (Memorial weekend was spent polishing her with Zaino)to have the best SLK there is and hince my delima. Would I be out of my mind to trade in an 8 month old 350 for a 55? Is there a cure or do I just succumb to my carnal desire to have the beastly 55?

Is there any cure for AMG lust? or once contracted do you just succumb to the inevitable?

Any advice would be appreciated.
i have a similar story to you..well kind of/ i made the mistake of test driving a 55, back when i owned a 350. my car never felt the same again. i just wasn't satisfied with my car anymore. i took me less then a week to make my decision . i traded in my 5 month old 07 slk350 for my 07 slk55. oh yes it did hurt my wallet..alot but i have not once regreted this decision since buying my slk55. you are not out of your mind. or maybe we're both out of our minds, but it doesn't matter... its a matter of having something that can satisfy your needs. 0-60 in 4.3 seconds : indescribable. and yes this number is achievable in stock form. and don't get me started on the exhaust note. good luck in making your decision.
