Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG vs BMW Z4 M
AMG: 355 horsepower, 0-60mph in 4.9 seconds, V8 powered, 7-speed AUTO transmission (wtf?), 3397lb, $61 500. M: 330 horsepower, 0-60mph in 4.8 seconds, 6-speed manual transmission, M3 CSL brakes (18" rotors), 8000rpm redline, beats the M3 lap times on Nordschleife, 3295lb,$49 955. I'd go for the Beamer ;1

haha very true but i voted for it.. I mean i had too, have you seen how beautiful the car looks and the sound that baby makes..it's such a cruiser..there are no tracks in toronto so when i consider a car i look for open road fun, not lap times.

I prefer the Z4M Coupe to the SLK55, which I prefer to the Z4M Roadster.

Which is why I would have the Merc, it could be used as a daily driver.

keep in mind that the Benz is 5.5 liters, which makes it a gas guzzler, and the Beamer is lighter and is only 3.3 liters. I'd vote Benz for styling though...

If I could afford an SLK 55 do you think I'd care about mpg?
