0-60 in a 380?
 

How much was the 380SEL rated in a 0-60 run?

10.5 seconds according to Frank Barret's MB Buyer's Guide book. I think he is a pretty authoratative source.

and whats a 560? lol 10.5!!!!!! I drive a turtle!

euro 500 7.1 american 7.7 I think the 560 was about the same as a euro 500.

Hey.. I am the one with a turtle.. I have a 300sel! BTW.. whats the 0-60 for the 300?!

this is off of that Road and Track Website (Not sure how accurate it is, It shows the 500 at a much slower time than MB claims)

man most of these cars are slow!:(

Car and Driver, in 1980, had a 380SEL go 0-60 in 9.9 seconds.

Obviously, Frank Barrett's reflexes aren't the greatest!

-Sam

Come on now, drive a 240D like me. 0-60? yes, not up steep hills though

My car (420SEL) is pretty slow off the jump but when I pass my friend on the freeway going 100mph with some juice to spare it feels pretty good. BTW my freind drives a mustang 5.0!
