Beat a 2002 SLK 230 Kompressor tonight at PIR

Some cool woman with her 2002 slk kompressor raced me on my first race of the night. She had an automatic, cause if she was a stick she would have spanked my ass bad. She actually beat me by .007 of a second, but since I pulled a .025 r/t versus her .4 r/t, I won the race in true dragster technicality.
When we compared slips though, even though she beat my et by only .007, she was 6 miles an hour faster in the trap. Her tranny and engine really take off at about 40 mph or so. The 2.3 kompressor engine is rated at 192 hp, so it makes sense she beat me. But it was fun to cross the line before a much nicer car!
I checked out the engine bay of the SLK and it was so tight, I couldnt see crap but did see a little but this was only about 5% of what I wanted to see. Huge plastic lid over the engine bay basically like all new cars.
