Yeah, it sounds ridiculous right?! Well, on the way home, I was at a red light in a 65 mph zone next to an SLK 350 roadster. I didn't even pull even with the guy because I figured I'd need to give myself a handicap to even have any fun with him at all. So the light turns green, and we both take off, I even slip sideways in first a tiny bit (I'm full throttle), then I shift into second, then third, and to my amazement (horror!) I can't even pull a foot on this guy...he stays exactly a half a car length ahead of me. By 70 mph I back off because it's obvious I'm not going to get ahead of him and I don't want to bust the speed limit.

So, I'm thinking WTF?! I looked up the specs on a 2010 350 and it's 300 hp, about 250 torque. I hope to God they make a fancy turbo kit for this car and I just didn't get beat by a stock 300 hp Mercedes. He did have aftermarket wheels, but the car "looked" stock.

I have a stock 6 sp manual 5.0.

wow im sorry to hear that i would be like WTF too haha. Funny that you say that my friend owns a 2010 slk 350 and i destroyed him with my 2008 with some bolt ons and tune thats crazy that he got you.

Haha, it happens. Wikipedia lists two seperate AMG model SLK cars that sound pretty stout, maybe it was one of those...

Minimize tire spin for maximum results! lol

Stkjock

my thoughts as well

Yup, tire spin gotcha man.

A lot of times it's hard to tell the difference between a "regular" Merc and an AMG other than the AMG marker in the back. The only thing I ever look for now whenever I pass by a Merc is the //AMG\\ on the rear deck lid (or is it //AMG....or \\AMG//....or whatever). I don't care about what it says on the left anymore.

It's AMG or bust lol.

I agree with the other guys, cause there is no way he would/could have pulled on you so hard especailly at higher rpms....

okbfd

Agreed, after your initial wheelspin you should have eaten him alive......unless it was an AMG. Or.......do they make turbo/sc kits for those things?

definitly probably a driver mod

But for the same price as the Mercedes you can upgrade the 11 and that's all that matters... because stone cold used to say so
