I guess the RX-7 is more of a pure track car while the SLK is a more refined cruiser (a ligher/more nimble SL65 I suppose). Both cars are in good shape (not a scratch or ding on either of them, oil changed every 1.5k miles, never been driven in th rain). Hope this helps?
See ya,
Matt

The SLK has much more torque & a little more power, but it weighs 700 lbs more. The SLK is built very well while the RX-7 feels like a Pepsi can due to its significantly lighter weight.

Picture of my SLK:
Note you cant spot the Exhaust mods judging by the pictures, because Ive got the OEM AMG mufflers.
