Obviously the m roadster. the damn thing does 0-60 in roughly 4.8 seconds now. The slk320 is 6.6 seconds to 60. Please check the websites in the future as that makes this a very easy question to answer.

Some of the Mercs put out enormous power, but lose alot of time via the auto gear box, and the bulky weight. They need 385 hp to 0-60 in 5.0 flat.

4.6 seconds and that's by C&D, imagine what MT could do. Anyway, the only SLK AMG is a tad faster straightline, but gets killed when it comes to turns, especially with its auto.

Theres a comparision of the two cars in R&T I think (maybe its another majory mag..I forget). The Benz was faster than the new M Roadster in a straight line but the M was still called the best car overall.

Not really, the Merc is set up too soft and they know how to make a manual but there is no customer demand for it.

SI-The comparo was in Car&Driver.
