The only way my 81 300sd would go 0-60 in 5 secs would be to push it off a

Oh, it's way faster than you think. How about 0-60 in 2.75 seconds?

You must have a superturbo and an intercooler on it.

The car could make 0-60 in 5 seconds.......if the car had infinite power was going at light speed relative to the rest of the world. This would have been Einstein's perfect car!

I think someone should ask him where he got his weed from....because its obvious he was smoking some industrial strength stuff....and watched the fast and the Furious too many times.
