Video 350SDL topping out. A must see!

RARE: Video '90 350SDL topping out. A must see!

The next time you see me, it won't be on the road if I keep this up.
Regardless, I sacrificed my conscience for the sake of compiling data. I felt the acceleration simulator wasn't enough.



Enjoy.

How NOT to buy a MB Diesel:
Know little or nothing about diesels or Mercedes Benz.
Get the WVO fever.
Drive 70 miles to a used car lot in the country.
Buy the car without having it inspected, because it seems like a good idea at the time....
I'll be back. I'm gonna need help.
I love this car already!

Well, I was able to use my camera to get you that clip, today. The ride was very tight. It was as if the entire vehicle hunkered down to the ground, begging for greater velocities, and tighter curves. Great downforce, although I left the bellypan off underneath after changing the oil over to a full synthetic blend.

The highway was completely empty, so no reckless attempts. Dry, clear, sunny, unusual 54 degree temps. Perfect day.

And yes, jesterb, the car did seem to want to keep pulling. I pulled the plug.

Apparently you are not aware of speed limits. Do you think it's neat risking people lives just so you can get a video of your speedometer?

What in God's name is wrong with you?

115 really isn't that fast for a W126. Considering euro versions of these things topped 160 and I am sure saw 130ish speeds on the Autobahn all the time.

Still a cool video.

Yes, that's what the judge is going to say, right before he throws his arse in jail.

What an idiot.
