What part of my previous post led you to believe that the engine is delivering 260 hp ? The darn motor spec. HP was created on a test platform in 1999 with a W112 connected to a test machine without any peripheral accessories...
The actual HP at the wheel is substantially less than the 215... Never mind... just go back and re-read the post... Or take your car to a dyno and cry when it plots a HP curve barely making 200 at the wheel...
Then do the math... 203 hp / 3,100 lbs Gee Whiz... What a rocket ship we have !!! I think I'll buy a few more of them...
