Re: Kleemann vs. Chevrolet

The SLK cuase its tastefully tuned, and looks like a sleeper..when its infact a monster..
The corvette is probably the better handling car.. but it doesent mean much to me..
As i dont track my cars..

Re: Kleemann vs. Chevrolet

Not a fan of the Corvette in general.
I am going to go out on a limb here and guess the SLK has better interior and just all around quality.
No one is going to think too much of it, until you take off.

Re: Kleemann vs. Chevrolet

SLK for me of course but why the hell the 0-200 time is freaking slow for a car of that size and power?

Very easy, the vette, cause it's a vette, a good looking car, a damn good sporty car, very good price and exotic.

Re: Kleemann vs. Chevrolet

Z06 cause it probably handles better and has a manual transmission. For the price of the kleeman, you could probably get a ZR1 and blow the doors of everything and factory a warrnty.

I dno, most likely because it is an automatic, it shifts slow and lags off the line, all in all these two added together probably give it about an extra 1 sec of lost time to that speed.
