Right. Seems pretty clear. You SLAM, which gives you a Weapons Disabled Token. You remove the token and become stressed. You cannot perform actions when stressed. You can't just choose to resolve Advanced SLAM before receiving the Weapons Disabled Token.

Sentence 1, how to SLAM, "To SLAM, choose and execute a maneuver on the ship's dial."
You have now performed a SLAM by the wording of that clause and adv. slam would trigger here.
Sentence 2, restrictions on SLAM, "The chosen maneuver must be the same speed as the maneuver that ship executed this round."
This is clearly a limitation of the speed of the SLAM and not what is a part of the SLAM action. This division is important for sentence 3.
Sentence 3, consequences of SLAM, "Then assign that ship a weapons disabled token."
Here is where Lt. Kar's ability would happen, following the weapons disabled token.
The division of clauses (what to do, limitations, after effects) would lean towards adv. SLAM working in the middle of this chain of events. PTL is worded similarly (how to trigger, what to do, after effects) and since the action from PTL can trigger additional actions before the stress comes in (such as a TAP pushing for a target lock, then performing an evade off that action), we not only have a reasonable reading, but a commonly accepted precedence of a similar ability. It's not ironclad and is certainly up to your local TO to decide, but it does at least make the choice murky.
To quote myself from just half a page ago. Not saying it would be better one way or the other, but the wording is a bit unclear. It's come up a dozen times or more on various forum posts here, so it would be due a clarification in the next FAQ update.
