2013 Camaro v8 vs 2013 SLK AMG

[jcsuddre]

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.

yep 1LE will be a good drag race

I HAVE a 2007 SL 65 and a 2013 ZL1 ..... the ZL1 wont touch the SL 65 on the drag strip , but on the Road course it can keep up pretty good , wife drives SL 65 and i drive the Camaro

Camaro : ZL1 bone stock
SL 65 : Bone stock v12 Twin Turbo 712 hp - 645 RWHP

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.

I was with my friend at the dragstrip in his Roushcharged 660 whp Mustang GT 5.0 when one of those SL65 AMG's pulled up... Results weren't pretty. Friend's Mustang retains bone stock exterior. Here his 5.slow

There is a guy down here too , running a Roush Mustang too similar and it puts a whooping on my SL too , i love that car is AWESOME

BUT GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL QUESTION OF , THE CAMARO VS THE SLK ............. i have no clue , but what i can tell you is MY SL 65 will whip the shorts off of my ZL1 everytime ....... high reading dyno or not , but you did get me to thinking i wounder if my dyno is calibrated right , im goin to call first thing in the am and have them come out to look at it ... Thanks Buddy

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