not a KILL but...

...try to get something like this out of your powerfull US engines...

My car is a 1993 C250D with 590.000km and a minor 125bhp...this picture is taken from my navigation screen and shows the following listings:
Spd: 194 --> current speed 120mph
Avg: 188 --> average speed 115mph
Max: 201 --> maximum speed 125mph
Odo: 134,5 --> distance driven 85 miles



...IMHO this beats any kind of run to he next traffic light...who cares about quarter mile times...DIESEL rulez...

greetingz,

I had no idea that the 190D 2.0 could attain such speeds!
