slk 55 amg
If you have the money and mercedes is what you want. slk 55 amg. The car pulls 0-60 in 4.7, quarter in 13 ish, and skidpad of .92. It's about $10-15k more than the regular slk 350, but it looks, performs, and has more comfort than anything out there. Check out the article in the last issue of car and driver.

I had my G up on autotrader.com for a couple of months and the SLK was one that I was considering. I test drove a couple 350s and was very disappointed, it was very sluggish. I tried to find an SLK55 to try out, but they are pretty hard to find- Im sure that would be a much better option. The 350 is still a little too feminine for me, the 2 seat layout wasnt practical, and the performance just wasnt there. I could overlook the lack of a backseat for the AMG, and it does have a more aggressive look. Also test drove the C55 AMG and wasnt really that impressed either.

If I went for it, I'd have to up the power to match the G.

Read some objective quality reviews of the MB. I looked at an 230SLK before buying the G, but they continue to have many quality problems. I lost the site, but there is a web site for folks who have had problems with their MBs, really numerous and serious ones compared to the ones I've seen posted om this site.
