I am bringing up and replying to the oldest thread in history, which is basically a war crime. However, I am "bigchingan", which was my screen name over two decades ago. If my 560SL only has 190 WHP, then there needs to be a serious audit of all of the various 250-300HP hot hatches/coupes and civics that keep getting embarrassed by me.

Where to start? The Italians or the Germans?
I'll bite. The 250-300hp cars you keep beating are probably piloted by people who don't know how to drive. Your 560SL is roughly as slow as a Honda Odyssey 0-60 (over 7.5 seconds).
