dad's got the e-class turbo diesel mercedes benz for his daily driver. car is sick, does 37 mpg and get's about 700+ miles to the tank. says he can smoke me and wants to make a serious bet on it....wut do you think. i wouldn't even be posting this if it was his phaeton he wants to line up but the diesel i think i have a chance......opinions?

id do some research on the car first, if its a serious bet and you're gonna have to fork over some cash. what kind of numbers is the car puttin up? i know that you're RWD and not awd so if i were you id make sure i was pretty confident first before racing. diesels have turbo lag as well though, so i dunno.

can't be too much lag...they redline at like 3500 rpm lol

 

 

should be an interesting race to say the least :driving:

well from doing some research just now i'm reading a 6.5-6.8 seconds for 0-60mph for the mercedes diesel. and for my truck i'm reading anywhere from 5.7 to 6.3 seconds so it'll be close. i better not mess up on the jump from the line :driving:. i'm also not stock so that may help too. should be a really good race though.

let me know if you get any info on the factory 0-60 of our trucks that is different from what i got

I tested mine a few times on the way home today and it ranged from 5.4-5.8 seconds to 60mph :driving::chevy:
