Cool now you can understand why the car has done 12000 km and has changed tyres 4 times

Yup, that'd explain it all right LOL!

P.S. it's also obvious from those vids the SLK55 needs a true LSD!

So what did you run in the quarter against the SL55? What's your best time and trap speed?

SLK 55
that evening they didint have any lights or speed traps , its basicly a social event .
I have run the 1/4 mile timed the only prob is we live 5000 ft above sea lvl times are around *cough 13.8*.
Its slow in comparison to what you guys are posting I think its the high altitude .

That kind of altitude will definitely affect your times. Using the NHRA correction factor for 5000ft, your 13.8 tranlates to a sea level time of 12.9 - right on the money for other SLK55's.
