Actually MB does care about performance and weight, you just have to buy the SLK Black version.

I have to question the longevity (of the engine) of putting a supercharger on the SLK55 without replacing the pistons with lower compression ones. The car has 11.0:1 compression which is not boost friendly. You'll notice the SL55 has a compression of 9.0:1, which is much more boost friendly.

Does anyone know when you buy a Kleeman SC do they replace the pistons with lower compression ones?

Question for DansSLK how much HP does your Brabus 6.1l make?
(oh, looked it up makes 445hp)...
