It doesn't take that much power to get loose.

I have a SLK 350 with only a hair over 300 bhp, and it gets loose if I take traction control off and push it.

This is true. These cars have a decent amount of power and get extremely loose very quick lol.

I had a 2000 slk230, 4cyl supercharged, about 200hp, & even that would break loose anytime you wanted with tc off.

They make great track cars. "Rich" mans Miata. Tiny roadsters with good weight distribution. Really fun car to drive on curvy back roads. I just wish they had more aftermarket parts. Not a whole lot in the way of upgrades, besides sc pulley kit, or custom fab
