RolexBenz190E · #1 12-17-2004, 05:04 AM

1990 190E 3.2 performance mods:

-Engine swap with M104 from a 1995 E320 w/ 722.4 auto tranny
-Remus Muffler
-High Temp. paint on the spark plug cover

-Hasn't been washed since August (drag co-efficiant went up by 6.8 lol)
-3.27:1 diff. ratio

1995 C36 performance mods:

-Full 3" exhaust, mandrel bent, jet hotted, ceramic coated, hi-flow cat, magnaflow muffler (estimated 285+hp)
-Has been in rain once... (that makes it faster!)
-2.85:1 diff. ratio

Good race! I'm sure the 190 could have gotten into the 14's at 2000 ft altitude, but he was probably nervous cause it was his first time at a track so he wasn't doing a good job with his driving skillz Here is the jist of the run. The posted track time INCLUDES the minusing of the reaction time. So non the less, the posted times are of the car's 1/4 no matter if they started differently. The person in the 190's reation time was .128 and the guy in the C36 was .666 (don't ask). Some people say "Wow, bad driver", I agree, for the person in the 190, VERY BAD DRIVER (he sucks). C36 driver, very skilled, he's probably a certified PLAYA cause he gots a lot of skill! He was raised around Mercedes, he wasn't letting off the throttle. Any ways... Enough talk for me. I don't know why it's so unbelievable! Every one is trying to find logical reasons and explinations why it turned out the way it did... Why can't the reason just be that the car is somewhat fast in the 1/4?!

Thanks for sharing!

So, the C36 is the one with the loud, slightly raspy exhaust note that can clearly be heard changing up gears over the 3.2?

what have you done to the car and I guess its a custom exhuast but how does it flow, look pic of under the car

RolexBenz190E · #11 01-07-2008, 09:18 AM

Yes, we should.
Bring your white 190 down the hill, you have to get smoked by Edis's latest M104 190e.
I put a 3.67 diff in the back, even with the pre and main cats it will own your car

Hah, wow! I didn't even know any one was still subscribed to this thread hehe. And yes, i do agree with you that it will smoke me... hardcore. My bowden cable broke so I have to fix that before I do any more racing... But I got some videos uploaded to my computer that you guys would LOVE. I just have to upload it to the internet and you guys will be feasting for a while on my in-cabin survilience tapes :-D
