The AMG folks in the south east USA have been having a grand time pushing the limits of the local Constable's Crown Vic's at the Michelin test center in Georgia. Man_O-Man does it look like fun. The list of AMG's included a SLK32 and SLK55. Anyone on the board participate?

there's no way that a crown vic will run with an AMG... an unrestricted AMG could even outrun some of the police helicopters in use (ie robinson...).

But for the newbie cop it's an eye opener carrying all that weight. Train, then train some more. But then again, on the other side, it's an excuse to run out of dilithium crystals

You can outrun those Crown Vics and even the new Hemi Chargers they are starting to use but those radios they have still will beat you everytime.
