I think that most of M/B's ratings are "conservative". The SD is rated at 14.5 seconds and I've clocked it at 12.7 seconds with the G-tech pro. The vehicle is also fitted with the taller 2.88 diff.
I'd bet that a properly tuned '97 would make 11 seconds. The W124 has a couple of hundred pound weight benefit as compared to the W126.
