However, when I continue to drive for a while and continually punch it every now and then, all of a sudden it's as if it's riding like a sl-500. I see my revs go up but the speedometer barely moves and I dont feel that G-force like I did when I first steped into the car. It's going literally 0-60 in 7 seconds. I have continually told this to the Mercedes dealership down here in Reno and they continually think i've gone crazy. Please help, if it's a computer problem or a trans. prob. or if you have any info on what's happening. Thanks.
I would suspect that the intercooler pump is bad. The bosch pumps on the 55 engines are notorious for going haywire and cause heat soak. Have your dealer check it out.
