There was a special on Speed Channel (5/31) in the US called "Mercedes Test Drive" : C63 AMG

They showed an AMG event with ice drifting in Sweden, solo track time in Phoenix, and road driving in Hawaii- all featuring the 63 AMG. During the ice driving/drifting segment they did show the SLK 55 among several of the vehicles out sliding around having a good time.

I didn't see it listed for rebroadcast, but well worth catching on a couple of levels. the 63 looked good and the sound of the "blips" on downshift were awesome.

Damn I wish the 55 blipped...

We saw it as well, the 55 looked good. At least you don't fry the tires on ice! Maybe we can upgrade to the blips. Dan??
