A good track car..?

Do you think, with the right modifications, that the SLK would make a great track car? I didn't say the SLK55 because I was thinking maybe an SLK63 would be better (does an SLK63 exist yet, or will it?). I say that because the n/a engine and the linear power delivery might be better suited for coming out of tight corners or similar situations.

The SLK is also a very small car, and we all can see that you can fit a huge engine in it.

What are your thoughts on the matter?

Re: A good track car..?

It's a fun track car but I'm too sure it's it's a great track car. Too heavy in general, especially up front. To much techno gadgets, although it can be shut off, not enough traction without some slicks. On a small twisty course, it'll have problems but on a big track with long straights, it's going to whoop @ss. btw the SLK55 is NA. Can't speak for the 55 but the 350 is a very competent track car but still not the best. I drove my friends BMW 325 the other day, and the handling is nowhere as good in the benz. And the SLK is suppose to the be best handling MB. I drove my brother's M3 and it's night and day, but the SLK is still fun, plus you can retract the top, can't beat that.
