Mercedes S-something
OK, question, was I owned for letting this guy to this to me?...LOL
We were on the freeway and this guys has something that looks like this,
Immediately I tell myself, leave this guy alone. Besides, I still need my engine to break-in some more (even if it was fully broken-in I still would have left him alone...lol). There's hardly any cars on the freeway and this guys just hangs around me for about 5-8mins...lol. I was so tempted at least go down w/ a fight...lol. Eventually he realized I didn't want to play (or that I was scared which was quite true...lol) and went his merry way. I have a 3G TL BTW.

the onlys AMGs u might have a chance with are the older C32 C43 anything else isnt worth your gas. unless u get a S/C then u can hang with the newer C32s, the older CLK55 and maybe the older SL55 and the older E55 not sure tho. oh yea dont bother with any benz that has a letter and the number 600 after it either those are V12s

The answer to ur question...NO. No way.
"SLK 32 AMG - 3.2 L (3199 cc) 354 hp V6 engine, 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds, electronically limited top speed of 250 km/h (155 mph). "

In theory TL 6-speed should have a chance against pre-2003 S55. 2000-2002 S55 had naturally aspired 5.5 liter engine with 356 bhp only. It would run 0-60mph in 5.7 sec, so a well driven TL should be able to stay with it at speeds below 100 mph. If you encounter an S55 check the wheels first (should have single spokes) and headlights (non-clear) and double exhaust (like TL). If all three conditions are met give it a try. The car on the picture above is a 2003+. No chance here.
