MB's really are not built for 1/4 runs either, they are built for this:

The 60's and 70's vintage muscle cars cannot run at or aboce 130 safely. While on say that E55 you can set the cruise at 150 and not stop until the tank runs dry, since the car is built for that.

Ahh the Autobahn, its the only highway in the world where you can actualy drive at a reasonable pace...legally...
