Z3 v SLK 350

**Cruzer 8** · 05-09-2007

Approaching a freeway on ramp in Las Vegas a yellow Z3 came hauling up behind me --- flashed his lights you know like get out of the way --- well I made a soft right on the ramp and floored it -- slide just a little straightened out and zoom --- he came around the corner pretty fair --- but just kept getting smaller and smaller I leveled off at 90 merged in and slowed down to 70. Half a mile later he did pass and didn't even smile.
I don't do this often but in that city everybody goes 20 over the limit.

Well done mate, The 350 as long as it has suffecient torque you will be surprised what you cant overtake and win in a race.

I would of classfied your act as teaching "discipline" and not racing, Its teaching Z3's that the SLK's are quiet capable and not "Gurly" as many think its a female's car.

I had this moron the other day tell me my SLK was a girl's car. (Because his landlord, a woman, drives a black one.) Coming from a guy who's had his license revolked for the last year.

You did the right thing.

ya the z3 isnt a worthy adversary for the 350.

The z4's make it interesting tho. Still take it though. Like said, the torque is very high for the car.

**alroumi** · 05-11-2007

I think the VW beetle convertible is a girls car, I mean I would consider a Black SLK to be least suspected girls car.
