SLK320
MB Forums?

Hi. I'm new here. I just traded my '03 Cobra for a 2001 SLK320. Huge difference in power of course (the Cobra was heavily moded as if 390 HP out of the box was not enough), but I'm happy with the 320. I'm out of the high HP game I guess. There's nowhere to run these cars safely if you don't have about $2,000 to spend (tires, road course fees, gas, brake pads, etc.). So, now I'm looking for forums to learn more about this car as it's my first MB. From some posts on this site I realize that it's not accepted to name other MB sites and they are referred as "other". You guys all know what you are talking about, but can someone send me a pm with a URL, cause google returns a bunch of results and I don't know where all the good stuff is. Thanks a lot and congratulations on your community.
