No - I've gone faster than that in my diesel (you should be ashamed) and my check engine light wasn't on when I did it.

Not Check engine light,,, ASR light (it's on because I defeated it) I basically ran out of room (too much traffic) maybe I oughta undefeat the ASR (to turn the light out) and get her up to 140?

We Mercedes enthusiasts understand that full throttle acceleration coincides with the philosophy of Benz engineers...they were made for the Autobahn. However, the 65-70 year old male on eBay may see that same WOT as abuse.

Offer the video to anyone wanting to see the vehicle's performance...not on the eBay ad itself.

.

Exactly. Even teens. When we were that age my brother and I used to joke about the classified ads that would include "fast" in them. A good warning sign to avoid the car.

I did like liistening to the engine, though.

Thanky ou all for taking the time to answer my Poll Question,,, except of course Jason490 the smartass:kid:

Markmam, I'm hoping to get 4-5K for the car on ebay.

RLGDiesel, don't think a 65-70 year old is interested in this performance luxury sedan,,, maybe a 45-50 year old though.

Hirnbeiss yeah the engine does sound nice,,, not supposed to though, as the rear muffler fell off and I replaced it with a straight pipe. Rear muffler on = sleeper, rear muffler off = a sound similar to NASCAR (well actually more like my '84 monte carlo SS)

I was trying to show how fast the car is,,, some people just don't realize the performance of German engineered luxury sedans.

40-100mph in about 10 seconds is awesome, and I wouldn't sell the car if I had room to keep it, but with a 300SD on the way (to burn WVO for the summer) and with 6 Mercedes parts cars and a truck, plus the 400e and a 300SD on the way, my stable is over flowing.
