06 ML320CDI against 06 Grand Cherokee 5.7 HEMI
A few days ago when I was going to the local mall for some gifts I had a GC 5.7 HEMI (I saw the badge) next to me at the red light. I was hoping he is going to floor it and he did! :p So when the light turned green we both gunned it. 
I could not believe my own eyes! He didnt pull on me even an inch!!!! 
We were absolutely dead even up to 160Km/h (100Mp/h) then I had to slow down due to the oncoming traffic and he kept accelerating in his line. He was doing as hard as he could, that I can say for sure. His engine sounded so mean comparing to my diesel. :v
Well, now I respect my BENZ even more! Even with 120bhp (340vs220) andvantage he couldnt beat me. I guess the 3.2 CDI is an astonishing engine!

Good work.
There is a lot more power to be had from your CDI. I installed a Carlsson C-Tronic CD32 into my "E" and WOW! I'm up to 425 lb/ft.
Diesels are capable of SKOOKUM power, and its cheap, and they remain street driveable and fuel-efficient with mods.
I have clowned a few of the GC's. For some reason, that car attracts egotistic types so they are great fodder for the kill. They never take it too well, and have been known to perform the "ricer" fly-by post-kill.
Just watch out for the new GC SRT8. You'll need a 400 CDI with a tuning box to down one of those.
