My Car Got Dyno'd! (Pictures & Videos)
So, I went to the AMG BBQ/Dyno meet saturday and got the chance to dyno my car. So I figured I'd just share the pictures and videos I took of my car with all of you.
Here's the picures:
Here are some picture in the parking structure when we went to go eat afterwards:
Here's the video. It's 30.8MB and include two videos.

the numbers were embarassing but not bad.
I think my car came stock with 177HP with 182 lb/torque
I pulled a pathetic...
max power: 139.52
max torque: 151.86
looks like I have some replacing to do and tune ups!
The car next to mine isn't a W124. It's my friend Sean's W201. 2.3 16V. Definately a nice car!

Totally true Josh. 
I'm not really embarrassed, it's just rather surprising.

Taking that into consideration, your car is running right around stock. A tune up will definitely help ;0)

When you have the hood open, there's a small catch on the right hinge (I'm pretty sure it's the right hinge on that car). Pushing that catch will allow the hood to open to a vertical position.

Don't worry about the numbers Chris. Our cars were never meant to tear up the streets. The only reason we're here is cuz people like us value our cars despite how ordinary or everyday they may seem. And trust me, your numbers are a lot better than some kid who thinks they can pull 160 hp in their riced out CRX or Civics. W124s are a nice, balanced, and classy package, thats where our bragging starts.
