GEORDIE SLK 55 AMG - 3/26/2005 3:42 PM

I have a 55 AMG and never use the manual shift cus its too damn slow!! I just leave in 'S' mode and hold on!!

Its a shame Mercedes couldnt do a decent manual shift.
I recently drove a Ferrari 360 Modena and it shifted perfect!! Manual driving with Ferrari paddel was a dream, and the software they use is spot on!!
I suppose I got my hopes too high before I got my hands on my SLK 55 AMG.....
Perhaps you could have compared it to the SLR and the prancing horse.

As far as I know there are some small AMG upgrades that improve shifting speed.
