I don't see where this is a request to ridicule.
From most accounts it sounds like the N/A cars handle pretty good, I think it would be a logical starting point. There are many cars that have the power and handling of the STR6 but ride a little 'softer', I believe the SLK32 AWG is one of them.
Hi Mike. One of the troubles with the written word is the lens through
which the reader views the text. It is hardly ever the same lens through
which the writer was viewing his/her thoughts as they were put to paper.
There was no ridiclue in my question. It was a valid question, that was
answered by the original poster just after your response to my message.
He purchased the car for its "unique looks and straight ahead speed, not
its cornering ability". Here's a question for you, MIke (and no ridicule is
intended)... have you every driven and SLK 32 AMG? I have, and the ride
was no softer than the SRT-6. Of course, that could just be that my a**
meter isn't sensitive enough to tell the difference between the two cars.
The point of my question was to ascertain whether the original poster
bought the car for its intended purpose, or for the other purpose to
which it is also fairly well suited (road racing or strip racing). As this
person has answered as noted, and as there are several production cars
which are quicker in a straight line, I can only assume that the most
pressing attribute of the car was the "unique" looks. I can certainly stand
behind that decision.
So, Mike, I would ask you... before you assume the intent of the writer,
please take a moment to read a post more closely, and ask yourself when
you believe another is being trite, could the writer's intent have been
different than what my current frame of mind colors the reading with?
Good luck to you, Mike.
