Very cool. I'm trying to get my wife to the track for some 1/4 runs. I'm getting a little resistance.

Thats awesome! I say we force our wifes to go to the track!!! Maybe it would make them better drivers?

On the other note my Mom lives in Cyprus she has a w221 E220 CDI ( diesel) and with in 8 month she got 12 points on her license ( that country just enforced the new point system about a year ago, before it was just fines 1km 1 pound which was a pretty good deal) coz she likes to cruise on highways 150-170 km/h where 100 is a limit lol She's 50 Funny stuff.

No contest. The Merc smokes the Maserati, but the Maserati handles better and is more fun to drive by just a slight margin. It also attracts much more attention, but that's probably because I removed the rear cats. I've had Ferrari 575 owners and 430 owners tell me it sounds better than their cars. I've been to track events with them, and I"d have to agree. It sounds incredible.

It was a private event. I didn't see your wagon at the RAB AMG track day they had a few months ago. PM me, and I'll put you in touch with those who set it up.

I drive a E55T, SLK55 and 65 Mustang Conv.
If Wolf gets to go to SF to go play with the SLK boys what do you think the chances are of him letting me go to the track with Opec's wife?

I cant speak for the 'Porte, but I have heard a spyder just puttering down the street and it was unreal (bone stock), hard to explain, sort of like a chevy V8 and a ferrari V12 hooked up for the night or something! lol

Thanks for sharing.
