Talk:Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Special Edition/@comment-31554783-20170418143220

When this car was introduced in a TLE a few months ago, I thought... dumb. I drove it in the TLE. Took about 10 seconds to get to 200mph. Awful handling. Felt like a turtle. Ugly paint job. Yet another SLK Mercedes.

Little did I know that this thing was a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's absurd how OP this car is. It blows by my MP Hommage and Cobra like they're standing still.

The elite MP people have this car and win with it due to the MP -2 point loophole. They get a bad matchup, they bail. Despite the high top speed, the SLK handles terribly. I've never seen a SLK on Sector 8. They give up the ticket and the -2 rating points and try again for Tokyo or Barcelona. Smart, but a loophole and against the spirit of competition. Agile, quicker cars have no chance against the SLK.

That's what's bull$shit about MP... how the -2 penalty is so light. If you exit out of a race, it should nuke your points as if you came in last place. That would keep the MP racing more competitive. But the cheaters just pick their battles because of a loophole. I would destroy a SLK in Sector 8 with my Cobra. But they elite nerds only fight unfair fights. Like Sun Tzu "Art of War", always attack when you can win, and retreat when you can't. The Chinese players certainly know this. I just wish GL would remove the ability to exit out of MP races without a stiff penalty. You bring an OP car into a MP race, you're going to have to fight on every track in the game. I think it would make things more balanced.
