The SLK 350 is an immense vehicle.It has a 3.5L V6 engine. It is an automatic but with the ability to drive it as a manuel and in sports mode. Any owner of a car like this would need to know the specs of it. It is one of the top of the range cars, with a decent top speed and nice acceleration. If you really ove fast cars then yuo would get the supercharged version of this motor, adds a bit onto the price but from what i can tell it really is worth the money. Then for the extra naughty drivers, maybe deresricting the engine will get the extra fe MPH out of it, increasing the top speed from about 175 to about 188. This is not for the feint hearted, it is for skilled drivers who want a car they can drive properly.

These are a few of the most important specs to look at when choosing what car you want. In my opinion this car is a beast to drive, its one of those cars that you can really get a feel for driving it when you are. Its got nice acceleration and a pretty decent top speed. On a nice day when the grounds dry you can't ask for any better grip from this car but on a wet day it has been known to slide a little, nothing that a good driver couldn't turn into a nice drift or power slide. If you want o drive your and not have it drive you then pick a mercedes, ideally a higher model then this but as cars go for the price this is the perfect car.
