well, usually, autobaun or not, it comes down to driver and the ***** to go all out...I personally drove one, romped her pretty good, it was stock, mine is not...it would get its @ss kicked w/ not a problem...I liked the car very much, but I didn't pay anything close to what they paid for theirs, so for me, I'll stay w/ my XF and wouldn't run from a race w/ an SLK32...
