280SE Questions

hello I am going to get a 280se for 600 bucks with the 2.8 v6 I think. What are the specs on this car and what can be done to make it faster? What are the qtr miles on this car also? Is their a forum for this car here and what is all this w220 and w116 stuff about. Which section does my car fit in? As you can tell i'm new to the MB scene. Thanx

The best forum for experienced MBs is the Mercedes Shop Forum at www.mercedesshop.com . They cater to the the classics more. Good luck.

If you want cheap thrills, get a wet NO2 kit and have at it. Nothing you can do to your car will give you more power and not cost more than the car itself. I don't even know if I can get the cheapest muffler for my econo-benz for what you paid.
