Let's assume both cars have about equal horsepower and the SLK weighs about 500-700 lbs less and has a better driver behind the wheel. The outcome looked very reasonable to me.

unless that SLK has serious mods in addition to the SLR swap...like pulley upgrades... the Enzo will still have a better power-to-weight ratio and better gearing...

The SLK weighs about 3000 lbs so I assume the performance numbers would be a tad better with the SLR engine/tranny swap.

SLK55 weighs 3400 lbs.

like i said, assuming it belongs to a Sultan's son, the poor Enzo driver might have his head chopped off if he beats the SLK driver. Life > winning a race, anyday.....
