[QUOTE=moff,Aug 31 2005, 09:11 AM] Are you sure it wasn't an SLK280... I don't think there is a new 230. IIRC the 280 has got 230 bhp and a 3 litre engine so it should be rather quick!

[Edit] Just read that the 280 can do 0-60 in 6.3 and is limited to 155mph - not a bad car for

Thats really strange as I have taken one of these to pieces, as soon as I hit Vtech in 4th I pulled and pulled on it and my car is standard this was on a private runway of course ,

I know he was trying as my friend and I were out for a drive and he tried it on with my friends Evo and I was following

Not that it matters as it's still a very nice car prefer the AMG though

You would pull a 200 to pieces but not sure how you would do it to a 280 unless he/she gave in or was in the wrong gear.

Agreed. There is no way you would of pulled on this. It was quick and nice looking. Car wasn't bad either.

aren't you training to be a legal eagle or something? why does a lawyer need a van (aside from to carry all that cash home?)?

You got a point about the weight, the 350 weighs 1450kg, which is about 175kg heavier than the S, but I don't know how much the 280 weigh. If the 280 is limited to 155 its gotta be quite quick above the ton?
