170HP pushing around 3500ish pounds is pretty slow. Then again the M103's love the high RPMs so you get a rush of acceleration at the top end which is fun. The ones I've driven have an odd high pitched gear-whine kind of sound though.

That 300SL is a helluva car. I dont think it showed Leno trying to get out did it? Pretty high door sill
