Default you guys think i can beat this??

my buddy just gotta 01 or 02 mercedes slk 230 kompressor. he tells me how its a small two seater so its really light, and supercharged. nothin done to it though. i have a 94 trans am with slp intake and borla exhaust.. not very fast. but he wants to race for alittle money. i just wanna go for fun. but if i can take him, and hes so confident, hes askin for me to take some of his money. h etalks wayyy too much trash about it... so what do you guys think???

you'll take him. they are turds. They are actually heavy for their size. They have all the leather and saftey **** on there that weighs them down. I have driven one and they shift like ****. You'll take him.

You should take him. It might be close but I think if he is stock you can get him.

You should be able to take pretty good, I think they barely break 14s.

Kick the dog turds out of him! Even if you were a v6 you could still beat him. I have driven a few of those things and the are TURDS, supercharged or not.

We might as well make sure it's not a 7000 hp dragster too ... he said it is a slk 230 kompressor ... pretty tough to get that confused with an slk 32 amg.

Btw, I would personally tell him you will race for no less then $500 .... go out, buy yourself a nice nitrous system, install it, and race him. After you walk all over him and take his money, you will have gotten a free nitrous system, which you can have sitting in your room incase you ever need it again (not speaking from experience).
