i was wondering.. for those who are racers... what cars have you guys beaten?, by how much?

 

try posting in the slk32 amg section?

 

I had a 131 MPH run with an E36 M3 one day on the way to work(with the top down).

I have been beaten on a highway roll by a modded Supra and a stock Z06. From a dead stop, I beat that same Supra, a C5 Corvette coupe and a BMW M Coupe.

 

glad your car is now functional wayne

 

Thanks. My dealer in Hagerstown is great about fixing the things that ail that little SLK, but there seems to always be something ailing it.

 

i've riden in my sister's slk32 most of the time we raced,so far we smoked a XKR and our brother's friend with a M5 that had dinan intake,got a vid too but no host. I forgot who else

 

Some brave folks here. I'm a little gunshy with mine. 'Fraid I might total it.

 

I beat some hockey player guy in his Z8 at a drag event. Raced 10 times, beat him 10 times till he blew his clutch .

About 2 car lengths down the 1/4 mile.

 

Way to go rage2.

 

10 out of 10 to any M3,M5 (my friend's)
All Vette but haven't try Z06 yet
and the new STI stock
but guys, watch out to those new STI
if they sup it up, that can be really fast

 

I have an SLK32 and a Z06. I really like my SLK32, but for acceleration and handling, it can't touch my Z06. The Z06 is lighter than the SLK32 (~3100lbs vs. ~3200lbs) and it makes a lot more power (405hp vs 349hp).

I just dyno'd my bone stock Z06 and it made 363rwhp (dyno sheet). Don't SLK32s dyno around 300-305rwhp?

 

That's a healthy Z06...

 

all of them...
mod's skyline ( R-33 / 34/GTR)
mod's supra biturbo 2,5 bar
mod's ferrari ( the Enzo I mean)
Porsche Gt2 and Gt3 everywhere...
What else ?
Last days my friend's Viper R-10 very well modded...
Cobra's & Z-06's and those kind of stuff I do not take...never ...ever.

 

Actually it's only a little above average. There was a poll on z06vette.com and mine was just barely above average. Most of the 2002-2003 stock cars came in around 350-360rwhp.

 

Hi,

I've read a review about the Z06 and I was very impressed, the power to weight is very good, puting the Z06 almost into supercar status, but they did mention one thing, traction problems ! It could have been the tires, but it hurt the 0-60 times.

I think the 0-60 time was something like 4.5 secs., an unmodded SLK32 is right behind that.

Then again, I've read that the super powered MBs (E55s, etc) have traction problems also...

Have you done anything to your autos to improve traction, power, handling ?

 

The only way that I could see to improve the acceleration from a dead stop is to run a tire like a drag radial or run wider tires than stock. The Z06 uses 18x10.5 wheels from the factory with 295/35 18 GY F1 Supercar tires. The factory tires are just this side of a DOT race tire.

My SLK32 will get out of the hole easier since it's an automagic. Just floor it and go One problem I had with the SLK32 at the track was that in the heat, I could not get it to leave hard enough to do better than a 2.2 60'. It was ~95 deg and 90% humidity. It still ran a 13.2, which is pretty impressive given the conditions
