GTi's kill SLK's....

Enuf said  :grin:

Not the 350 or the AMG 55  :wink:

Mine's Mullah'd more than one 350 SLK :evil:

So you are telling me that you weren't fishing with that comment?

Or intimating that the 350 and AMG are FASTER and better than a GTI?

Come on Newgolf, don't try p!ssing on someone's bonfire when you've just posted the fuel! :wink:

In a friendly tone, so as not misconstrued.  :smiley:

Not at all Hurdy, mine was a tongue in cheek friendly, (but factual by the way) comment back to Mike, whos posts are always funny and interesting.

He was, by the way, referring to a standard GTI. (Which has a 0-62 in 6.9 seconds and a top speed of 145mph).

I was referring to the 350SLK, Which has a 0-62 in 5.4 seconds and a top speed of 155mph electronically restricted. Thats from the showroom, by the way, no additional parts added, and it will do this day in, day out. Hence, they ARE faster than a GTI, AND the ED30. By over a second 0-62.  :evil:

Going further, an AMG 55 SLK has a 0-62 in 4.9 seconds and a top speed of 155mph again electronically restricted.

From memory, a STANDARD ED30 has a 0-62 in 6.6 seconds and a top speed of 151mph.

There was never any mention of "fishing", "pi$$ing" or "better than" as you mention it, intended or otherwise. You really shouldn't read things that aren't there  :smiley:

Of course a GTI would kill an SLK, the only one being a 200 Kompressor.

No one mentioned ED30 and their total road dominance, (Next i'll hear Audi have now dumped their V8 FSI from the R8 and just used a remapped ED30 ??  :wink:) WE ALL KNOW THEY ARE FAST, move on it gets boring hearing about how they beat Lewis Hamilton on the way to Tesco's in his Ferrari etc...

I'm not going to comment any further as I'm finding "mines faster than yours" a little tedious.

Oh apart from

A Mercedes SLK  350 "Hairdressers" car, is faster than a standard ED30, even with the roof down MUHAHAHAHAHAHA...

Got to agree with you there new golf. The 350's are a brilliant car as are the SL's (i say this even after saying I would never ever buy one).  As for comparing them with a golf.. whats the point?? From what I have read he only came on for advise as to what he should get his missus..

The 350 all day long.. over any Golf!!! (appart from mine :wink: :grin:)

Now lets try be constructive :kiss:

I have no choise, I've been told she's having one.  :undecided: Many arguements later I've given in for a quieter life.  :embarassed:

I was having my batcave built this year, saved up for ages, dug the foundations and all. Looks like its a lot later next year now. Back to doing overtime it seems, but hey!

Apologies if I sounded prickly, I didn't mean to, its just been a sore point this damn car.  :rolleyes:
