Sorry I don't know much about the 280SL. All I know is I want it. The 6.3 M100 was one of my favorite engines. I just love the mechanical fuel injection. Not that its has any performance by todays standards. It just looks cool. The 6.9 is the same engine family I assume it has larger combustion chambers. It used the Bosch CIS injection system. It was built in the height of detuned smog motors.

The only cars I own are the black 560SL it turned 14.073 in the 1/4. It is 100% stock. I also own the red 560SL with the M120 V-12. I am just getting the 12 cyl 560SL running for the first time. It will be on the track hopefully this summer.
