Who has the better chance?

I was pondering on my way home today, when i came across a (MB SLK230) who would win in a straight line race. I dont do that traffic race crap, what if you kill someone its just a bad idea. but anyway i was thinking the little 192 HP 2.3 liter engine in the MB wouldn't really have a chance against a 2000 auto Maxima? right?

well i was back in traffic a little way on a common 3 lane road down here in florida and stopped at a light was a MB SLK and a Mustang GT. I watched from behind as the Mustang DESTROYED the SLK by multiple car lengths. I have raced a Mustang GT before and he didnt beat me by that much

so i was wondering would a 2000 Maxima/ I30 auto, beat a MB SLK230?

and can the 2003 Maxima beat a 2003 Acura TL type S?

I would think that Max would take the MB, just not by that much. Yeah, it would be a drivers race with the TL-S.

Would it still be a driver's race in a 2k2 auto?

My friend happened to have one of those. Stock for stock, you should take him by around half to a car length. With my mods i beat him by around 3-4 cars up to 85.
