2013 Camaro v8 vs 2013 SLK AMG
Who takes the 1/4 ? saw one of these in town today. I know my v6 wouldnt stand a chance against the v6 version of the new slk. I was wondering how the ss would fare against it's v8 version?
on a side note I like the looks of the new slk just as much as i do camaros. I would of definitely saved and got a convertible camaro if they had the beautiful hardtops like slk do. |

Without looking at the specs, I can comfortably say that any AMG product would destroy a stock SS.
EDIT: According to Motortrend, "0-60 happens in 4.2 seconds. 4.2! That's nearly supercar-quick, and this thing's a folding hardtop with cylinder deactivation and start/stop. The quarter mile takes just 12.6 seconds, and you'll be moving at 113.3 mph through the traps -- a very respectable clip." |

so how about the v6 version vs a 2013 camaro v6 both stock. I have seen one of those around along with this new amg in town today. Just curious about both of their speeds etc

It'll edge out a Camaro V6, makes 300 HP which is less, but it weighs less and has a better transmission. 0-60 in 5.4 on average. The MSRP is $55,000 though...You have very low odds of ever racing one, the people buying a car like that aren't looking to race.

The stock 1LE ran 4.2 0-60 & 12.7 1/4 mile by Motortend. Almost identical to the AMG times for straight line performance but the 1LE will crush it on a road course.

If the SL65 is at 712hp it's not stock. They came stock with 604hp and 738lb/ft

Then it's a high reading dyno (and if it's that high it's defective) or it was done in the wrong gear. Stock SL65s don't make 700+ from the factory, otherwise Renntech's R2 (700hp,840tq.) package is the biggest scam ever and does not give you any gains for the $15,000 you'd spend on it.

That's a slow supercharged mustang that should be faster than a 11.9
