[B]SLK 55 AMG vs Corvette (not the c6) American cars all suck.[/B]
So I am just driving down the street and this convertible corvette guy in his late 40's and his wife probably late 30's or early 40's were coming near me, and I am 17 years old. Now we did nothing for the first 5 miles and we are on a two lane road that is 45 mph. We were just driving and racing didn;t even come into my mind and I bet it didn't come into his either. We had trucks in front of us that were carrying their christmas trees, so they didn;t want to go fast and have a branch flying out. So now I am behind the corvette guy and one truck goes into the other lane. Now the corvette and I can pass the two trucks. This is what pissed me off ------>. My windows were down and the corvette guy justs zooms off giving this bad smell of whatever off into the air. And he is going over 70 in the 45. I got pissed, I aint going to let an American car just drop a gas bomb infront of me. So I got up to him and we both stop at a traffic light. he doesn;t know what I am about to do and he doesn;t have in mind to race still. When the light turns green. I floored it, making my tires spins a lot and my 4 AMG exhaust pipes giving out a gas smell to him. So now I am about 500 feet infront of him and he thinks he is so cool that he speeds past me about over 100 mph. Well when you have an AMG, you use it. I floored it again and he got scared of the V-8 and the exhaust pipes. I was now going over 120mph. I slowed down so he could catch up but he didn;t want to pass me anymore so I went 35 mph while he was going 45 and that finally made him come up to me. The thing is that I was staring at him from my window to his window, but he would not look at me. The power of an SLK 55 AMG. That was my first race. I am not so sure though if you would call it a race. His wife was impressed with me. Before the race she keep staring at my car and looking at me. I bet I could have taken her cause I showed her who the real big boy is.

SLK 55 AMG
Yes I am 17
When I got my license at age 16, I ws hoping i could convince my parents to get me a SUV like Tahoe, Blazer, GMC (new or used, did not care) and raise it up 12 inches, put bigger tires with good treds on thems, exhaust pipe, and a better air intake. Oh and get two subwoofers for sound system. That is what I was hoping for to get. My parents liked the idea, but they prefered if I didn't do all that extra stuff, plus they wanted the car to fit in the garage. So my dad said I could get the Hummer H2, that just barely made it in the garage. My mom said no, and then my dad said okay how about a 2 seater sports car. Went to look at the BMW z4, the Nissan 350z, and the Infiniti G35 coupe. Now the G35 coupe was the winner because it was a 2-door 4 seater car that was the fastest one out of the choices. My parents though never really like japanese car and I don't know much about them too. My parents don't like the quailty of the japanese cars, they think that the cars are built cheaply, which a lot of them are, or maybe just all of them. SO finally we saw an ad the SLK 350 and we said that looked nice. I waited for a long long time, over 9 months just to see one. When my dad saw it, we ordered a one in daimond silver/black interior, amg sports package, premium package, comfort package, and 6-disc. It took 3 months to get here in So Cal, the color did not go well, espcially with the amg sports package. I didn't say anything about how i felt of the car(I didn't like the color and it looked weird). I go to basketball practice and come back home, my mom said we decided to get you the SLK 55 AMG. I was shocked.
My SLK 55 AMG has:
-Black exterior / Two tone Black and Ash interior
-18 inch AMG 16 spoke Rims that are chromed
-Comfort Package(comes with it already)
-The AMG look (since it is the real AMG)
-Entertaintment Package with Nav Upgrade
-Lighting Package
-Heating Package (Airscarf and heated seats)
-Premium Package
I got lucky becuase AMG cars you can't order and you can't pick what options you want. That SLK 55 AMG just arrived off the truck and the salesman gave it to us for sticker price, which is a good deal cause they can charge 3 to 5,000 dollars over sticker just on an AMG. One dealership had an SLK 55 AMG for $85,000(ripe off), I told the manager that no one is going to buy it that high, He said that he knows that, but some people don't and will just give the money.

Lets not get into this, because this would probably end up with me saying facts and then getting flamed. Pushrods are not old tech, same amount of time as OHC engines, so lets not go there. Also if you want to look at 1/4 times and what not the Z06 can run an 11.99 stock, not to mention the new Z06s. Also the Pushrod engine in the Z06/Vette gets better gas mileage than the AMG cars, or M cars.
