mercedes performance figures

[THOMO]

are they correct ?


my car is 279 bhp/295lbs of torque on paper. last year my car was pulling away from my friends Nissan 350z which quotes 300 bhp/260 lbs.i must state that my ESP was off.this also happend on the way home from work when some 350z driver decided to put his front bumper on my rear at 60 .there he was sat smiling with his girlfriend in the car.he did not smile for long .
my car is a clk 430.

All manufacturers lie about power figures, some just lie more than others

350Z's are over rated.

Renault V6.
Won't be long before the head gasket goes!

renault V6 is what i called over rated. they weigh more than a porshe GT3 . 0-60 time is a just under 6 secs which is poor for something so expensive and small.
what about the head gasket iain ? are you refering to mine or the renaults.

I out-accelerated a Hyundai Coupe in my lowly diesel. That must have been a tad embarrassing for the owner
