A friendly race anyone? SLK32 stock only.

Seriously. Im a huge MB fan I even had a modified CLK320 at one point. But my friends over at the M3 forums seem to think that a slk32 will very slightly beat a E46 M3. My experience has been just the oposite. I have raced 4 different slk32s and one of them at least 15 times. I have won each time. By a very slight margin mind you. All from a dead stop. So I was wondering if there was anyone in the Dallas Fort Worth area with a stock slk32 that would like to race at Kennedale drag strip. Or what ever drag strip. Please no flames. Just want to video tape this for reference and real world experience. Because on paper the slk32 should win every time.

What times have you run at the track? I have so far put up consistent 13.0's in the 108-109mph range. Next trip to the drags I expect to break into the 12's. The car is stock.

Sergtech what happened? You were hot and heavy for numbers and hopped all over someone who suggested an SLK55. I posted the 1/4 mile numbers from my stock SLK32. No response? What times are you running? If you are going to claim faster than my 13.0's you better back it up with a time slip or I will call BS. If you show me your's I will show you mine.
