S320L Queries...

I got some q's on my S320L it's a 99model.

1. I race people alot from 40KMH onwards, sorta like a drag race. I use tiptronic and go 40 on first gear holding the RPM on 3000-4000 is this bad for the engine?

2. When I race from 0 I use tiptronic alot, is that also bad for the engine?

3. I need information on Chips, what are the best ones for the S320 and what kind of HP and upgrades will it give. Thank you (Please list company names and name of chip)

4. With the chip I heard the engine will begin running to full capacity and go more than 300KMH, My speedo goes till 260 if I drive that fast alot is it bad? What effects will it havE?

Thank you,
KU104

I think the car can exceed 260Km/h without any modifications and reaches 300Km/h. Look at the digital speedo when you reach 260km/h.

Well, I don't know cuz I never dare even reaching 200Km/h. But...
I know a guy who claims he exceeded 260Km/h. So... I dunno. maybe he wasn't saying the truth. heh, he like to show off a lot.

anyway, his car is imported. what about urs?
