senti che motore!

[hackresponsibly]

What model year is this?

[fsayestaran]

although i believe the 500 v8 engine would sound silkier, the w126 is truly a flying carpet... so smooth, yet so fast...

[macintoshwindows1]

love the sound

[fikri8881]

sounds like automatic transmission... is it?

[ComputerVISTA]

@fikri8881: Yes it is the 4-speed automatic, it's the kickdown that you hear a lot :D

[ValHallaV8s]

@fikri8881 yep

[MrMercules]

This is a mighty nice car and a very good & friendly driver!

@ComputerVista: Wow! Fahre selber einen 300 SE BJ 1989. Hätte nicht gedacht, dass man aus dem Wagen noch so viel rausholen kann...

Ist deiner im Originalzustand (Motor, Reifen)?

[serialced]

@TheMatadorex Motor, Reifen,.... alles im originalstand ;)

[ComputerVISTA]

@serialced and TheMatadorex: Indeed everything is original but I have a pretty quick example of a W126 300 SE. Mine does 7.6 secondes to 100 km/h. I bought it with 105.000 km on the clock and now it has 144.000. I realy love to cruze in it but when it is needed, it can go fast.

I would've like to have a SEL once and and one time I had to choose between een 560SEL or a BMW E32 750i with the big V12, and because I wanted a V12 I picked the BMW.

But, one day I hope to own a 560 SEL in white :D

[FrancePhil44]

You're welcome mate ! I also own a w126, but it's a 300 SEL. I love that car so much.

Have a nice weekend

[FrancePhil44]

Hi !

Are you the owner of that car ? I just want to tell you that the driver is excellent, because taking a w126 on a race isn't easy to manage !

What engine are you running ? M110 ?

Nice video !

[ComputerVISTA]

Hi, no I'm the owner of that car and the driver, the poster here is a friend of mine. It's a 300se with an M103 3.0 engine with 180hp. And yes, as you mentioned it is a handfull :D

Thanks for the compliment! I love the car and love to drive it and as you can see, if you try hard enaugh you can drive it pretty fast.

Again: Thanks for the compliment.

Also:

I have to say that I didn't go completely nuts because the track was a bit damp from rain earlier that day and there was oil on the complete track from an BMW M3, also my time could be a bit better if I didn't had to stop for that towing truck.
