OT: Test drove a Mercedes 300se...slow

[bigtisas]

Thanks for the info guys. I like the Benz W124 body but I can't stand for the performance. I will test drive another one and see if they are all the same. From what I read so far, looks like the M50 is a better engine.

the W126 is a big, HEAVy car... you can't expect a 3L six to pull that thing along with any pace... my dad drives a 420SEL, 4.2 V8 with about 220hp, it's slow as hell off the line but once it's going it goes pretty nicely.. remember these cars have a 2nd gear start unless you shove the pedal all the way to the floor or pull the stick into first

if you want a W126 that hauls ass, make sure it's a 560!
