What model of Mercedes was it?
I recently drove my father's C200 - talk about UNDERPOWERED!!!
It weighs roughly the same as an SVX, but it only has a 100kw 2.0 litre 4-cylinder!
As well - the throttle response is SHOCKING! I had to push the accelerator about halfway down before anything happened!!!
.............my father tells me that all mercs are like that!!
