GTi's kill SLK's....

Enuf said  :grin:

Not the 350 or the AMG 55  :wink:

We gave a SL600 convertible a good run for its money. The owner made us pull over and was dunmbfounded that our GTi was standard because we sat on his @ss throughout a 10km mountain pass and he said he was really pushing it.  :lipsrsealed:

TBH I have not driven one no, but the conotations of owning an SLK are enough to put me off. AMG is a diffrent matter, but for the money of one of them I can think of several others cars Id rather have.

I took a 280 out, and it felt a bit faster than the GTI (200) low down, but pulled a lot more at higher speeds.

I took the 350 out, and it was a LOT faster than the GTI, quite surprisingly so.

Now the AMG is crazy fast, it has soooo much torque.... but its damn expensive lol!

Pesky- Put your hands over your ears  :wink:

I think that merc are big fat tanks and the only merc I will buy is a smart car as it is built by them and much like a BMW most mercs are posers cars.

Pesky- You can relax now.

I was at the unveiling of the SLR in South Africa and they were unveiling the Smart car at the same time and I promise there were more people at the Smart car than the SLR.

Besides that.

The SLR although supercharged is terrible to drive unless its on a track and you are revving the hell out of it.
I just dont like Mercs...  :laugh:

Have you ever driven one, they are actually quite good. AMG is bloody fast and sounds great.

....Is the F1 Safety Car Merc an AMG? - That sounds soooo deep and irresistable!

The new TT RS 5-cyl twin turbo quattro 2.5 sounds a bit good too : -
