Talk:Mercedes-Benz SLK 55 AMG Special Edition/@comment-2600:1700:1F10:3E40:CC60:F864:563D:4617-20180211151145

Well boys, the reign of the SLK 55 AMG SE might be over. I just got my ass handed to me in two races in a row. I'm 1303 rank and player ranked in the high 1800s. Triple boosted my Merc can do 313 mph. The only competition I ever have in races are other SLKs. Of course I eat M2s and Cobras for breakfast as long as the track is long enough.

I did a one lap Nevada with another SLK and two M2SEs. I just couldn't catch up. Acceleration on the Merc is too slow. I beat the other Merc, but the BMWs raced ahead and stayed ahead. I guess top speed isn't everything, especially on a 1 lapper. I came in 3rd! WTF! Not used to that. Lost 10 points. Both Mercs lost to BMWs.

Second race, was a brutal three SLK vs. one M2SE two lapper on River Fort. Of course I choked and fucked up in the caverns on that stalagtite column in the second lap. M2SE was already just a couple seconds behind me. My nitro was almost drained as I regenerated and tried to accelerate back. He blew by me (tried to wreck me of course). And then, there's that damn hill. I'm out of nitro so I'm crawling up that fucker at 240 mph. M2SE was gone. The other two Mercs were a battle now for me to get 2nd place. I barely beat them. Lost 6 points.

I quit for the moment. Need to rethink my MP strategy. My Merc has been my exclusive ride for months. I occasionally drive my max pro Vulcan. My Cobra, M2, MP4/8, Sagaris, 959, MP4-25, Camaro and Hommage are gathering dust. Vestigates of multiplayer gone by.

Looks like the M2 SE is the new sherrif in town around 1300. I guess that's good. The Merc was getting boring. I'm sick of having 3 races and needing a recharge anyway. And the Merc is such a bitch to drive. Drift punch, accelerate like a horse cart, etc.
