I OWN A EURO SPEC 350SE W116, WICH I HAVE JUST RUN AGAINST A 1980 280SE W116 EURO ON A LONG STRECH OF ROAD.

FROM PULL-A-WAY THE 280SE PULLED ME BY AT LEAST 15METERS, I COULD NEVER CATCH UP WITH THE 280SE, AT ABOUT 180KMh I RAN HEAD TO HEAD WITH THE 280SE, AT 200KM/H I WAS ONLY HALF A CARS LENGHT IN FRONT OF THE 280SE, AND I COULD NOT GET AWAY FUTHER THAT A CARS LENGHT OVER A TOTAL DISTANCE OF 7 MILES.

IS THE 280SE REALY THIS QUICK, OR IS MY 350SE SLOW
MAN OH MAN I WAS IMPRESSED (AND EMBARRESED) BY THIS 280SE
