Default Kill - SL500 Roadster

Nothing like beating a sportty car that costs nearly 4 times as much as yours.

Yeah its a beautiful car, but seemed pretty slow as ****. Goes to show that you shouldnt even bother with one of those on the track. Mercedes owners need to stick to luxury, not performance.

Yea. But the AMG's and the 600 are nasty. the 600 can do 0-60 in like 3.8 seconds, says car and driver. I would still take one though.

Yeah the AMG is bad ***, but it wasn't an AMG was it? Good kill either way. Probably made the guy feel a little bad about paying so much for so little IMO.

It's not AMG but it's comparable because it's light. The car was pretty quick (I actually had to try) and I had some excellent shifts so it was a clear win.

i used to like racing cars like that until i got put in my place. when one of those guys looks at you and mouths the word m3, you fell pretty small.

I kicked the crap out of a older M3 on te highway. Made him feel really stupid. But he was really cool about it.

I'm not scared of M3s... They say 333hp but is that at the wheels? and their torque is disproportionately lower. I'm atleast at 327 rwhp and 340rwtq. with the right gears i should be able to run with a stock M3. With a couple of more mods and some weight reduction, it should be no contest. And I will STILL have paid significantly less for my car.
