Wow, a car that will run with 911s. Been there, done that, and spanked the 911 GT2. maybe I'll be impressed when he's done.

i'm surprised you guys are bothering urslf over a member whose beating himself up coz he bought a lemon of a benz and wants to announce it over here as well and to add insult to injury he drives a MUSTANG.
if any of you guys have children you will realize that it's best if you ignore then once they decide to throw their melodic tantrum and the concept applies here
anyways ZedStyle just noticed that member ur talking about really deserves respect for putting so much effort into a M103-powered Benz. I guess if I won the lottery i'd build a benz that would alse RUN with 911s as well

Speaking of children, how old are you again? What are you supposed to do when your child lies publicly? Teach us oh wise parent.

2001 E320 RWD - Brilliant Silver/Ash: 100,000+
I don't think there are any inherent problems with the 420 engine (MB also used it in some W140 S-Class) but I have read the 430 is a superior engine. You should be able to find a 98+ E430 in your price range, and I would recommend as new a one with the fewest miles as possible.
I used to own a 1998 E430 that I bought with 117,000 that ran well but when the A/C went out I traded it for my E320. I really miss those 8 cylinders!!

Nothing but that Gruppe M and Magnaflow. Even before the exhaust the car pulled just as hard.

I would chastise many of you for bickering, but I'm on a tropical island at the moment, so the will is not there.
I'm still not getting how TG's E320 with exhaust and intake generates over 50 HP and torque to spank a 430. How is that possible?

if these things are important to you, why did you buy a mercedes sedan?
Isn't the point of an MB to look classy? Doing burnouts is not really classy.
If thats what you were looking for, why not get a mustang/camaro/firebird?
not to mention, showing off while driving is dangerous and can get you hurt or in trouble with law enforcement.

This is a discussion forum isn't it? People are entitled to their opinions... it's amazing how some people doesn't want to hear any negatives toward their cars. Thread starter asked opinions and he got them. Most are good but some are bad. Get used to it!

like i said before, im young and burnouts are very important. you wouldn't understand, its a young person thing. and i chose the benz cuz its diferant. everybody has a camero or a stang. there boring in my book. you see em everywere, at least around here you do. nobody has a mercedes though, and especially a mercedes that can do burnouts. im all about standing out. and mercedes are the bomb anyways. everybody likes a big ol black benz!

If burnouts are important, you purchased the wrong vehicle. You will break parts, and you will eventually damage your transmission, rear end, brakes, etc. Although the car may be cheap, the repairs will not be if you plan on treating it like a mustang.
Im sort of shocked that this is what the 210 has come down to.
