| Can anyone give me the definitive answer for top speed de-restricted and 0-60mph time for a "standard" SLK 55AMG? The offical performance figures only give limited 155mph and 4.9 to 60. |

| 4.5 to 60 is the maximum time it should take, expect it to be quicker than that figure however. And its top of the 180's Vmax.

| At least one member has achieved 4.3 seconds. He documented it here: http://www.slkworld.com/slk-r171-gen...3-seconds.html Not sure about unrestricted top speed. Even with the 030 package I think it is restricted to 176 MPH or so. So my guess is that totally unrestricted would be above that.

| Hmmm, that is interesting. I will get a track day at Texas Motor Speedway in August. I am wondering what I can top out at. RSB168 and myself have hit just over 140 at Texas World Speedway, and there are tricks to get the speed up higher. I have a non 030 also, so it should be interesing. |

| Hey John, are you going to the TWS event in June. They're going to run clockwise. The track is faster in that direction. Will be looking for you. RAB |
