when I thought this *may* have been possible with a turbo, you've now gone

so....162 in stock trim with no limiter, in a 10 yr old E320, am i tracking this
correctly?.....even though you said that there was a limiter but in spite of
that, you maintain you reached 162 before you had any mods??? if there
were mods at the time, what were they...because i 'm a bit mixed up now

you have a 0-60, 6 second runs using only a Kleeman chip mod. i'm still
waiting to see the video you indicated you have. post it on TINYVIDEO.COM,
Google video or YOUTUBE or something.

i am kinda confused at when your mom sold her Kleeman chipped 99 C320.
can you help clarify? tnx

tommygunn has also pulled 200mph in an SLK55 which was loaned to his
dad. (great thread). just to be clear, octane booster was used. would
appreciate if you can identify the name of the abandoned airstrip and where
this is? I would like to examine the taxiway and runway layout.
Raymond, Raymond, Raymond: Come on buddy, most of what he writes can't be, and isn't, true! I looked at the picture he posted of his 'E'; looks like the headlights and sidemarker lenses were changed out. Still has stock wheels and his last post ways he wants to buy some wheels but not lower it and it's out for paint... whatever...

Nothing personal tommygunn, but I just can't believe what you have written anymore... I do think it's funny and get a kick when you post additional information just for us 'non-believers'!

Raymond;

Okay, but it probably isn't worth the effort. I think most of us can see right through those that just post silly threads of mods that were never done...

I think it's all possible. In Hongkong, it's Km, not Mile, that's the unit of distant

0-60Km in 6 sec, and 160 Km/hr is all possible.

ML320, Looking for my S4
Look i dont have to impresse anyone here, matter of fact its the internet when i posted that i had a kleemann ecu i bs'd i thought this was some lame fourm. but as time has progressed i found out that its quite helpfull. I dont give 2 ****s about anyone here. nor do you give two ****s about me. As for going 162 i have done it. I was with my girl and it truely was done. That was no bs. I dont know. My car is weird. I have recorded a vid of a 0-135 but it was recorded on a nokia 8801 and if anyone can change the format for me so i could post it up on you tube i would. But untill then its stuck in my phone. and as for sealing them up i did. I put in 4 xenon 8000K bulbs. 2 in the fogs, 2 in the head light projectors.

and as for raymond g if you truely feel the need to bust *****, do it in person. Not behind a keyboard threw the internet, lay off.





and as for everyone eles, you eather think of me as a kid whos modding out his car so you can get some tips or new ideas on what to do your self, or as sone punk like ray.

hey tommygunn, if you can set aside the chest thumping for a second,
consider this: in a separate thread, I apologized for bringing up non MB
related issues and I let it go. in this thread, as opposed to a 'gotcha'
i posted what appeared to be inconsistent statements you made and
simply asked you to clarify which pieces of equipment, which mods were
in place during your performance measures. if this is interpreted by you
to be 'talking big' then you're only insulting yourself.

if you are flustered because you're having to come clean, I can't help
that. if you dont feel you have to explain anything, then don't. the
conflicting posts will stand as-is and no one may care. as stated in
previous thread, I only care about factual performance/mods to W210
and not any ego pandering issues. sorry to have unstablized your
weekend.

at least i can now update my notes to reflect that your W210 does not
have the turbo mod, nor does it have the Kleeman chip....or is it the
Renntech chip? in any case, I'll just list it as CF intake, headlights, markers,
tails, fogs and powerchip 98 (if you have link to the latter, that would be
great)

sorry to see that this unhinges you to where name calling is triggered.
is it just a coincidence that in the last 48, I'm recv virus emails from
NY area to account i reserve just for MB board? ...tsk tsk

and, btw, my request for runway location is because I head your way
1-2x yr to gather with some NYPD MB types to work on cars. was looking
for a viable location to perform fast driving and wanted to know where this
was. i think you're being more defensive than need be.

I do believe that you have sealed your headlights recently. hope it helps
keep the condensation out.

I dont give 2 ****s about anyone here. nor do you give two ****s about me.

See what happens when you B.S? (I call it lying.) - based on all of your inconsistent posts, and there's more than one, it's hard to tell when you're telling the truth, and then you have no credibility.

and as for raymond g if you truely feel the need to bust *****, do it in person. Not behind a keyboard threw the internet, lay off.

You shouldn't get upset at any forum members here: you got caught lying, for whatever your motivation was, so you should accept the fact that you got caught, maybe you should swallow your pride and apologize, and move on from this issue. Many in this forum are looking for specific and truthful information regarding Mercedes-Benz automobiles... I know that if I wanted B.S, I don't need to go to MBWorld: I can just go to work...

Since you don't give '2 ****s about anyone here' I'm not sure why you had to post false information in the first place, but maybe that comes from being 17 years old. Of course, when my son's 17, I'll expect a little more from him, Internet or not...
