Smudge Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 I spotted one last weekend in Reading. Roof down, striaght bit of road, and the onwer did the honours. Did sound bloody stunning. As for them being tweeked, dunno, but if was to buy one, it would be tweaked to sound as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdiesel Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 I am told that the F1 Safety car has the supercharged engine rather than the N/A version in the standard SLK55. Apparently AMG will build you one if you so desire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOSE Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 Bazza, I got talking to one of the blokes involved with the SLK 55 on Saturday just after the qualifying session. He was saying that the car is very highly modified. The missus instantl fell in love with the thing, 2nd time she has seen it up close and personal so to speak. It is a fantastic car, the design insnt everybody's cup of tea, but personally I think it is great. Here's a link to all the technical bollox and modifications to the F1 safety car.

DHA Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 When I ordered mine the salesguy said that they did modify them somewhat and the road version isnt as loud. Which was a dissapointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
