That's pretty impressive. I wonder how much gas mileage he gets on the road. I used to blow off diesels in this country, probably because I grew up with 240 and 300D's being the standard by which all diesels were judged. But after renting a new one in Germany I was really impressed. They have come along way.

Also Dragtimes .com is the honor system. They never required me to submit a time slip. But then maybe they would have been knocking at my door if I said I had a 560SL that did 11.5's. In any case it doesn't seem to be a big MB sight. I havent looked in a few years but my 560SL one 560SEC and one 560SEL were the only entries in the 560 class at the time

Also Whats wrong with a 137. Is it an inherently poor design. Or is it that they are pushing it to hard for a production engine with twin turbos on a V12 at 600 RWHP. Would the M120 at 600HP be a better solution?
