I broke '100' last night! - PeachParts Mercedes-Benz Forum

Last night I was feeling frisky in my old girl so I decided to see how fast I could go. I took her up to about 105mph on the speedo. However, my speedo is inaccurate, so I'm guessing I was doing something closer to ?92mph.

But still, I was impressed. The only reason I didn't keep climbing was because I was afraid of it's handling. Doesn't quite handle like my other car, with track suspension and all

But the car kept pulling and honestly wanted to go faster. Way to go 37 year old car!

Was this going down hill and a Santa Ana on your back?

Seriously, that's great ... especially for a stately chassis

like yours ... YAHOO!

Nope, it was actually on the 5north to the 56east. There are never cops on there, but just to be safe you should always have a V1. Apparently my car has Koni's on it, at least thats what my dad said my uncle put on it 20 years ago. But how long do they last? The car has so much body roll, you could get sick if you weren't used to it. :p
