s-class 1/4-mile times
Today I planned in which events I want to participate this year.
Here in germany we have the "race@airport" events.
I looked at the times from last year and couldn't beleave what i saw.
In Leipzig (06.09.2009) on 12nd place: #617 Philipp Hermsdorf Mercedes S-klasse 9,487 s (1st run was 9,548 s)
How can this be? It's much faster then all s-classes at dragtimes.com and it's street legal.
I try to find out the exact model and year.

I could care less about "clout". That same "clout" does nothing but jack up maintenance costs and doesn't seem to help the depreciation free-fall.
I had some expensive maintenance items coming due soon and I test drove the CTS-V on a lark. When I drove it, I was immediately reminded of the type of handling control that my M5 had...except with much higher overall capabilities. When the dealer offered me a trade-in value that was better than some retail prices I had seen for CL65s with similar miles, it became a no-brainer for me.

Not to muck up someone else's thread... but to fully answer your question, go test drive one. Let me put it this way, the CTS-V is like a perfect combination of my old E39 M5 and my CL65. It has amazing handling abilities, a mechanical LSD, incredible seats (with Recaro option), nice interior detailing (suede steering wheel and shifter, stitched leather dash, many higher tech amenities), and tons of low end torque.
I could care less about "clout". That same "clout" does nothing but jack up maintenance costs and doesn't seem to help the depreciation free-fall.

They featured the CTS on Top Gear and I immediately fell in love with it,
that's why I asked. Unfortunately it only comes in left hand drive , as I
found out the day after Top Gear. It's a word I don't particularly like, but
I think it looks cool. I also congratulate you for buying a home made product
it's something I do every time I fancy a Jag. My post was purposely aimed to
get a response, not to muck up this thread, it was just I love the CTS a lot
and I new you would give me a accurate reply.
Cheers! when they make a right hand drive it's probably goodbye S Class.
