Help please!!!!!!

Hi, whats up everyone??

Does anyone know the 1/4 mile time and trap speed of E 320 W210 model?? In my particular case, a 1998 E 320 with 43,xxx miles!?!?!??

The reason why I ask is b/c I was terrified of the 1/4 mile times & trap speed the E 320 achieved at the track tonight!!! No where near what I thought it would get!! A 4 cylinder Camry would have easily walked me!!! LOL Thats how bad it was!!

I am guessing a normal E 320 would achieve 15.5 @ 91 mph??? Would that be a fair guesstimate??
Thanks

what kind of times were you getting? 1998+ w210 models should do 0-60 in 6.9 seconds "This new Mercedes-Benz M112 engine produced 221 hp (164 kW) and 229 ft·lbf (310 N·m) of torque and offered a 0-60 mph (98 km/h) of 6.9 seconds."

---=== fuzka ===---You guys really wanna know what times I was getting???
Well.. here goes nothing!!!
I made 3 runs!! It was my first time being at the track..!!

First run
60' 2.615
1/8 11.801
mph 59.65
1/4 18.266
mph 77.14

Second run
60' 2.841
1/8 11.993
mph 60.12
1/4 18.414
mph 77.51

Third run
60' 2.744
1/8 11.964
mph 59.84
1/4 18.425
mph 76.99

There you have it!!!
I know it was my first time etc etc etc , but 3 seconds slower on average?? and 13+ mph slower????
It was very humid and around 27 C!!

My friend was running his '99 SLK 230 (80,000 miles) with Intake and he was running low 16's @ 86+ mph!! 2 weeks earlier, he was running a 15.3 or 15.4 @ 91 mph!!

This is a 1998 E 320 with 43,xxx miles and it has beaten a 325ci bmw from 30 mph and was dead even with an E90 325i from 80 mph roll till 120+ mph!!

The screen shows that it is due for service!!! I just dont think an oil change or w/e would make the car go 15's!!!

Anyone got an input?? Other than putting the car in the dump yard?? LOL jk

uhm, the only thing that I can think of would be a sluggish maf? I know that when my car was running like that, the maf was messed up, but I didn't have any warning lights on. I brought it to the dealer and they connected it to the computer and told me that the maf was lying. So I went on ebay and bought a maf and now it works how it is supposed to be. I timed 0-60 6.5 seconds, but I don't know the 1/4 mile.

UUumm, just out of curiosity, why on earth would you bracket race a Mercedes? I guess your bracket racing? And your embarrassed with a 75 MPH time? These cars are made for comfort, luxury, and a sign of financial success. Not only that they weigh twice as much as a Jap car. But racing?

An E320 isnt the fastest car but if a 4 cylinder Jap car is faster.................so be it. But that Jap car isnt the quality a Mercredes is. Or is it a Mercedes-Benz. Go race your friends Camaro or Mustang. You'll have a bigger rush...................



Just my $.02 cents............
