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...

Problem is that you can't drive that fast in the US, at least not for any length of time. Might as well hit the strip and frighten Corvette owners. I was going to do that this summer, but shoot, it's almost over.
