For what it's worth, that isn't the five liter v8, it's a dual overhead cam 4.6L v8, but doesn't have the crossdrilled mains of the mustang DOHC motor. Memory serving me, those were the cars that lowered themselves on the freeway. Probably gets mid to high twenties out of it.

I've been thinking about getting a 98-99 E300. It would be the wife's car. She'll be going from the WJ w/limited package. I'm hoping the 180hp is enough for her. Now that she got used to the 4.7L in the WJ. http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/car/535905160.html ------------------------------ End of diesel-benz-digest V1 #2636 **********************************
