Humm seems like there is a mix review here. I will have to tell her to drive both to see for herself. I don't know how this lady thinks. I will let her make her own decision.[/quote]

Probably the safest bet... My vote is for the SLK

SLK is more the chick car than the Boxster, especially with the redesign, and the air scarf thing.

SLK55 over boxster S for sure

Is the SLK55 trackable? Her husband like her to try track sometimes and he asked me to post this.

What do you guys think of bringing the SLK55? Heard that the SC will bring the car to almost 500whp true? If so wouldn't that be like a Lambo ETR?

How do u like the handling/power/brake of the car?

How does the power compare to say a stock 996TT acceleration wise?

Car is trackable or?

Love to have some insight thanks

Its as fast as a stock 996 tt , you got to hear the sound of the engine the 5.5 V8 its like a spit fire similar to the SLR..the car is really nimble and fast
i wont be amazed if its faster than a 360 spider
benefit of the slk that it has a hardtop, smooth 7speed auto
air scarf which is a neck heating system found on the headrest when its cold you can press a buttona and it blows hot air to your neck
Im waiting for mine to arrive one month and a half...i already test drove one
