Civic vx. Mercedes sl500
At an undisclosed time and location: Business guy in an Mercedes sl500 got passed by a certain turbo d-series ninja full sleep style in cruising traffic. Couple of screwballs bunch up in the passing lanes, sl500 tries to get a jump and cut off the now alert ninja. Full side by side eye-contact grocery getter 4th gear walking pwnage ensues! Business guy shocked and amazed signals the thumb up.
I don't know why, but it sure is fun beating overpriced underpowered cars. Not saying I wouldn't nut myself to own one....
+2
MSRP $90,620.00*
Engine 5.0L 24-valve V-8 engine
Net Power 302 hp @ 5,600 rpm
Net Torque 339 lb-ft @ 2,700 - 4,250 rpm
Curb Weight 4,012 lb. / 1,820 kg
Top Speed 155.3 mph / 250.0 kph
Slightly more powerful than the last mercedes kill I posted.
Why I'm amazed is I was only pushing 15psi, must have been the cold weather.

This is the internet. You're just supposed to talk up whatever you do know as if you're a salesman for it. i.e. I drive a Supra and a Corolla therefore 2JZ is the greatest and so is the 4A and I don't care about anything else because it's all crap since I don't have it. I also have a stack of $20 bills in front of me, therefore 20>50 and 20>100 and 20>1000. $20 bill FTW.

The key thing is the weight of the Benz. 4000 pound pig is over built. The krauts always over engineer by 20 percent for some reason.
Good Kill.

overpriced maybe as a 1/4 mile drag car... something tells me it isn't exactly what they are meant for.
