We went out to just "test drive" cars today and ended up getting another german car. Told myself after the M roadster "no more german cars" but
2005 SLK55 AMG
5.5L V-8
355 hp @ 5,750 rpm
376 lb-ft @ 4,000 rpm
7 Speed Auto
We test drove a bunch of cars today, Porsches Carrera S and Boxster S, C6 Corvette Z51, and a used 03 viper SRT-10. I wanted to the viper but it was after we drove the Benz and she was hooked, the fact that the viper is one of the most unrefined cars I ever drove didnt help much, no power seats, no nothing on the inside crap for radio, BUT I loved the power wayyyyyy too much but the tranny shifts as good as a tractor and the wheel hop about made my teeth come loose. The porsches were crap, pure and simple, just a name to back it up and the vette was nice but they had none in black!
