People often want to race the SLK

bejak · 06-28-2006

When I drove my previous car, the C-class W203 nobody bother to challenge me. Now when I have the SLK many times some guy is trying to race me. I's hard not trying to beat them. One can get in to serious trouble with the law doing that. Today was the latest race. A Porsche Cayenne. The SUV model. He wanted to race me on the highway. We put the gas pedal to the floor and he backed of when the speed was over 210km/h. Not healthy to go that fast but it's fun.

*easty* · 06-28-2006

km/h /8 * 5= Mph 130mph

Those cayenne S are dam fast!

I have yet to get someone to want to race me ... and this is even before the renntech badges.

Only after you let all the air out of your tires... HAHA

Must have been the 3.2V6 cayenne. The Cayenne S is a lot faster than the slk200.

N4PWJ · 08-21-2006

my mum has a 3.2v6 cayenne and my dad has the cayenneS. My slk280 absolutley annihilates the 3.2v6 but my dads S is pretty similar, not much in it to be honest, but a cayenne turbo is just light years ahead!!!! great SUV's the cayenne and sound fantastic too!!

Here's a neat trick most folks don't know.

If you Google

210 kilometers per hour in miles per hour

just like that, you get:

210 kilometers per hour = 130.48795 miles per hourWay cool and little known feature.

Glad to see you here Ron. I use Google for most conversions, e.g., I would type 250 euros = ? US dollars, and click. the answer comes up instantaneously (of course, currency rates fluctuate all the time but this gives you a good ball park number), you can do lb-ft = ? Nm, etc.
