At $50K, I might consider this.

Any possibility of doing this with a W210 wagon, or should I wait for the W211 V8 wagon, (if it ever comes State-side)?

I think it would be easy to convert a 210 E430 wagon....

How about the C43 motor you removed? Transplanting that into something else?

Yes, yes. Inquiring minds want to know.

Now there is something everyone would enjoy, a W210 with a 4.3 Liter engine (is it a M113?) and maybe even a Sport Suspension setup.

How fast would one of these be?

Heck, even the Kleemann Supercharger would fit under the hood.

Yes, I like, I like.

Donnie, that is quite amazing, how did you get away fromt he lights so quickly. Load up the RPM's have it in first ,foot on brake and shift manually thru the gates or just floor it.

After thinking about it, I guess we would have to convert a E320 wagon.





I would load the tranny to about 1,100 then lay in the throttle after a killer burn-out. The burn out will make the tires a little on the sticky side to help with traction.
