BTW, the SLK55 only comes with a 7 speed auto. Make no mistake, it will go fast in a straight line. Faster than the Boxster S in most drivers' hands due to its massive torque. But it's still a boring ride.

Where's the numbers on the new one? I would like to see them. If the Boxster can run that fast it just may be the car I will buy. I will believe the numbers when I see them. The reason I don't believe them is the fact that I have blown the doors off so many Boxster's with my S2000. As far as Slaming people I don't think so, I just pointed out that you had the wrong SLK and no proof of the numbers for the new Boxster.

Lets try to tone the rhetoric down guys. I am sure that we can establish the true elapsed times etc. However, it should be clear that no one should buy a Boxster for taking to the drag strip, that is clearly not its forte. The Boxster appeals to a different sensibility, no?

Frankly, we live in an era when there are many many fine cars to choose from, for each, according to his taste!

Let the good times roll!
