Pat, I'm not that dazzeled by it either, and the original Gullwing Mercedes is one of my all time favorite classic cars.
I think Mercedes went too far to keep the car "understated".
As Tigh pointed out, I could simply change the ring and pinion in my 15 year old Dodge and put down a 11.5.
John, it did clear up Saturday evening, remember? But I can't remember what day I saw the Merc parked on the East side of the road near 15 mile.
Joliet J, driving with the doors up fit's right in with the general " Automotive Circus/Mardi gras" atmosphere of Woodward.
One year I saw a guy driving a one-piece fiberglass bodied "67 Mercury Cyclone" Funny Car, with the body tilted up at a 45 degree angle as he drove down the street. In his defense, it was pretty hot that year.
