Video: Friendly Run with Turbo RX7 in SLK55

First time I took out the SLK for some fun.

Got my butt kicked, but it was a fun race!

RX7 weighed only 2800 pounds.

I understand that the MBWorld Police have begun a massive search for him. I personally think it was that guy from Brooklyn, but I could be wrong !

Ah, the search is on! Get him! Wait-- (thinks for a minute) Ah, nevermind, I had this crazy thought, like I knew him-- silly me.

Dead or Alive? He lied about that video, we should kick his butt at a meet, and steal his SL600. Teach him a lesson. That SOB thought he could trick us, did he? We'll teach him...

I thought it was Benzoboi-- you know Im really sure.

Most FD runs some mods including DP, CB, intake and that'll take to 280hp w/ 2800 lbs = < 5 sec going 0-60. I used to have one and I still miss the turbo kick. Good video

Was the SLK driver flooring it? It should be able to keep up since it's on a roll.

Dinko, or any other SLK55 owners, could you guys post a video of your cars doing 0-100mph or whatever with the speedo/tach showing? I would love to see it! Thanks in advance

The RX7 had a upgraded Turbo, with about 15 to 16 pounds of boost!!

However, another run I did with a highly modified SRT4 (same night), he said the exhaust sounded really good.
