One of best straight six engines

[jugodegolf]

not sure where to post, since not supra relatated. but is pretty cool & informative. If I'm not mistaken the 300sl either won or crashed in every race ever entered, totally blew away competition. In 1954 had top speed of over 150 and for that time was unheard of.

well anyway hope you guys like, and I'm sure some of the old guys will recognize the car.

Wikipedia says it made 240HP? I'll believe it when I see it.

Who is going to dyno a limited production car from from 1954?

 

[BlackMKIII]

I would. To prove a point.

Too bad I don't have $400,000 to just toss around. :biglaugh:

yes, they really are that powerful...

the rear suspension is a hazard though, push it too far and you're fucked (hence the either won or crashed part)
