Killed a R230

so i was cruising home on the fast lane about 80kmh after my last meeting for the day when i got flashed by a roofless benz at the back. it was a metallic SL with an asian guy with his chick on board. I had no choice but to move aside, I mean, there is no way my old W208 will stand a chance against that beast. he zoomed past, and i saw that thing probaly had the biggest rims I ever see(20" perhaps?). Plus, the badge on the trunk shows only a SL 350. Why not attempt to smoke that thing?

So i downshift to 3rd and gunned it. lolx that cocky guy did the same and he was pulling away. at 160 kmh, i was catching him and blew past him at 200kmh. LOLX it was fun to see his face impression when i passed him. So there we go, the SL got smoked.

I dont want to mention his ricey bodykit, it was awful! how could he destroy the look of such a beautiful car!

Ridiculously large wheels are a detriment to a car's performance! Nice job though. I didn't think a 230K could overpower a 350 (200 hp vs 268 hp), but it's always great when your car surprises you.

EDIT: Just read the Kleemann part - how much power did the upgrades yield?

Don't they cane or execute people for speeding there? When I was in KL, it seemed all the vehicle had lights on their roofs that started blinking if the speed limit was exceeded. I must admit I saw a lot of blinking lights, though.

HLG 600 - sorry but i havent hit dyno to display accurate numbers. If i am not mistaken, the 2003-2006 models SL 350 only have 245 hp.

whoover - never heard any execution yet, but i did hear a bimmer driver marched straight into the jail after being caught driving 240kmh in his E60.

That's right, the first SL350 used the 3-Valve M113 V-6. 3.7L in displacement. The same engine they put in the prev. generation ML350 in the us.

Ah, right, it was the 3.7 Litre V6. My mistake.
