SLK 230
I've been to a track in West Palm (I didn't run) but I don't know what the track was called. We went to a huge car show there.
I really wish I knew someone around here or something that could help me with upgrades to my benz.... No one really seems to know much, or if they do, they are reluctant to help. I need to know exact parts to buy so I can upgrade and such.... but o well...

1200 feet in North Phoenix. About 80 degrees. No my 60 foot time was just at 2.0 seconds. I forgot the exact #. Main problem was the launch. Hard to get the tires to hook up. However, I was the fastest out there including a Z06 and a few Camaro SS's. They were running in the high 13's.
BTW, dont think that the cars the magazines test are the same ones you and I buy. All manufacturers send "hot" cars to be tested.
My car is also very new...only about 3K on it.
With drag tires I should be in the mid 12's.

The tracks where I race are at sea level. I'll be taking my SLK32 to the track when I get it, so I'll be sure to post here when I get a few timeslips.
