Hi guys
I have had my SLK 200K for about a month now and managed to blag a trackday with the BMW Owners Club at Oulton Park on Wed.
Although a little apprehensive with some of the high powered machinery there, I thought the SLK held its head up high.
Road holding and braking were excellent with very little body roll noticed. The car does have the sports pack with 18" wheels and uprated front drilled brakes. The tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport and performed excellently. The let down [but it was expected] was lack of power [yes I know its only a 1.8] and against other 1.8's it kept with the pack. It has auto box with manual paddles but on full revs changed up anyway. The esp worked well and kept the car on the black stuff during the afternoon rain.
I know the SLK isn't a track orientated vehicle but it performed well and gave me the confidence of pushing the car on the road and knowing its limits.
Sorry there are no on-board shots but suction mounts aren't allowed at Oulton
All in all a great day out.
