Any good Kill stories out there?

I suppose my favorite snacks are 350Z cars, whose owners seem to believe they are running serious metal. The new 300hp version is at least worth the effort, convertibles are a waste of time.
I believe the most dangerous competition out there are the WRX's which just never seem to run out of legs and the occasional new M3 which are not much off the line, but once they get rolling, are speedy indeed.

Frankly, I just wanted to keep the thread alive, so . . .

WRX's aren't an issue. If the owner is willing to launch it hard they will get you off the line. They quickly hit the aerodyanmic wall though.

Plenty of trips to the drag strip, very few loses.

Our 1/8 mile is open through the winter for test and tune, and I'm only a couple of hours from you. You probably have something open around there. Let me know if you pull something together and I'll drive over. That is if you son't mind 4-doors playing too.

Our last big AMG gathering was a multi-day affair that pulled in cars from surrounding states as well.

The regular R170 forum covers most SLK subjects well enough...
