Have you ever SEEN a mercedes ?

I used to ---- a girl in the back of her dad's 300SD, back in the HS days. I also racked up a number of years as a service wrench. I have worked on a few, mostly I worked on Ford F-series, Volvos, Saabs, and Honduhs, but there were a few Mercs in there too.

I've seen one at the track that impressed the ---- out of me.
the thing showed up with dealership plates, stock straight off the show room,its a big body not sure what type it was the back of it shape like a oldsmobile dual exhaust 12 cylinder compressor/supercharged. I lined up next to him because I wanted to see if I could hang, but a ferrari pulled up and ask me to let him race the benz. so I let him in. the mercedese ran 10.2 seconds in the 1/4 mile the driver did not even looked like he was racing, smooth acceleration street tires no launch no overrevving.
10 secs. in germany means 9 sec. in the states plus the track was shitty as hell. that was some good ---- for a stock car

the ferrari ran 12.3 seconds later got spanked by my friends stock evo.

So apparently he didnt do so hot on the run against the evo?

everyone was saying the ferrari was slow because its a 2002 or something like that. but I werent impressed I wanted to race him but he would race anymore after the evo beat him, he was saying nex time he is comming back with a milano but he never showed up.
but the mercedes was the ---- just a regular big body grampa car and it was fast as ---- stock.

I'm just not seeing how a stock evo runs a low 12.

Tom-Guy

That's because it's in Germany. In the states that would be 11's.

remember this is germany

stock evos run 12.0 which in the states is 11.0 DUHHHHH

it must be the germany limp wrists are such good drivers, evos only run high 13s here cause we cant drive them, in germany they run 12.0 which is really 11.0 dontcha know

HondaTuner

Apparently not :P

stock evo meaning, stock turbo, stock motor, boost controller exhaust, safc, 800cc injectors, upgraded charge piping. boost turned up to 23psi . its still stock internals.
the different altitude is what cause the time difference, been confirmed by a lot of people who went back to the states. I never raced in the states so I cant prove it for myself.
