oh- i almost forgott you (in the US) get a crappy version of it, right? My W126 has the 185 hp version and my 280C has the 154 carburettet one.
I like love that engine, the way it screams at high RPM

, but it can be a gas guzzler i sometimes have to refill the tank once a week (90L@more than 1$ per liter)

but i drive it very hard.
