I know a good MB you can take to the track. First take your MB in service and request a loaner vehicle. Specifically ask for the 2006 C240 with 6 speed auto stick. You will have so much fun pushing it to its limit on the track. Make sure you have full coverage on your insurance, or purchase full coverage from in house rental if the loaner vehicle is contracted by a differenct co in house.

Depending on how much you want to spend, I would think that an SLK32 with a few weight reduction and suspension mods would be fun.

I think SLK32 is a pretty good candidate. Though I thought you'd be doing well sporting a C32 instead... Strip all the seats, take out the air conditioning unit, and put in a roll cage.
