Cool SLK -vs- SLR

Righty, well I've ordered my SLK, but as I was researching through videos and challanges of the SLR, I fell in love with it..

SLR vs POWERBOAT ( CLICK HERE )
This video shows an SLR racing a boat from London to Oslow. It shows such durability and my SLK seams oh so small!.. I know I can't even think of getting it because Im 17 just im in love with the SLR.. don't get me wrong the SLK is sexy.. but watch the video..
- Can any of you guys link me to some SLK videos.. or something like that.. Thanks


Joseph

Here is where you can download the episode http://www.mininova.org/tor/67108
However, You will need to get a torrent client which is on the page.

what type of mods would u like to do?
performance, suspension, looks, stereo?
i would spend some $ on a full exhaust, freeflow airfilters and chip
i would also spend some $ on a coil over suspension + sway bars
whatever is left (should be about 1500$) i would buy the best performance tires and brake pads.
and the left overs(couple of hundred) u can spend on the looks of the car (spliter, window tint, light tint, etc.........)

its all up to u. depends on what u wanna do with the car and what u want the car to do.

hopefully that helps.
if not, post any q's, ill b happy 2 help u out
