Slk55 Amg Vs Rs4

Here is a video posted in SLKworld by fellow member Ynot.

Its an SLK55 racing the RS4 from O, I hope you enjoy the video, I know I did andI still respect the RS4 and seriously would like to own a Yellow RS4 AVANT with Digi-Tec ecu upgrade, Gruppe M CAI and a Millteck exhaust.

First the RS4 is a 4door sedan , How do you know that the SLK55 is not stock any thing obvious ?
What if the SLK was stock, wouldnt it differ with the drivers.

The RS4 is AWD and the SLK is RWD, If you noticed the SLK had minimal wheelspin which helped it accelrate from the start.

Pretty even, but it looked like the RS got a terrible launch out of the box. It should get the jump.

Trust me, The SLK is faster than the M3, Ive killed an SMG M3 2003 and the New Z4M which uses the S52 M3 E46 engine.

because I am from Korea and I have seen that White SLK before.

I dont exactly know the owner, but when he was racing with my buddy's Black SLK 55, he kept pulling.. and he admited he has minor tuning..

but didnt told us anything specific..

well, if this white SLK55 just has chip (386hp)and BMC filters it will be get easy 400 hp and is a lot lighter than a RS4.

+ a set of UD Pulleys + bypass-pipes you will get easy 430 hp ...

thats on the way acctually, I have those parts on order, but if you look at Kleemann and renntech, There dyno shows you gain only 10hp and 4lbs of torque with a ecu, Plus there is a Drop in filter dyno that only got 3hp.
So instead of obtaining 26 you get 13.

A set of UD pulley's would give 3-5hp max, Evosport says that you gain around 8-10hp.

a good driver is more important than a faster car out of the box.

True, I am not saying the SLK55 is the fastest car in the world, With Equal drivers the 55's vast torque difference and 7G gearbox does the deal.

MeanMachine,

I do know all the MB tunners ... I use to have and tune myself one of the first C32 AMG with 340 whp and Tq.

That car had H&S chip and worked great. I had also a C43 with H&S good as well.

Renntech & Kleemann use the same chip tuner...I think is evotech and they claim more look:
