dmelviØØ7 Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Hopefully he'll be riding shotgun so he can get some sweet rolling shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekone Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 The one 240D I drove was easily the slowest thing I have ever driven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyConn Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 The one 240D I drove was easily the slowest thing I have ever driven. word. we lost speed floored up a hill.

faultywarrior Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 word. we lost speed floored up a hill. I didnt think much went slower than my girlfriend's cobalt. edit: that said, it looks CLEAN. nice job with the swap too. LOL. The up hill part sounds like my Mazda. And yeah, I don't think much else tops a slowbalt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin-Solo Posted May 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 This thing hauls a little, apparently the engine was modded slightly, so its producing about 90-100 hp (lol), but well into 170-180ft pounds of torque. With a manual it also makes it a little more forgiving. And yes Brian will be riding shotgun to take rolling shots for us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiksilver Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm going to be brutally honest, those pictures are far from being 'amazing.' I could replicate those with a really plain P&S camera. The below pictures are amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt think much went slower than my girlfriend's cobalt. edit: that said, it looks CLEAN. nice job with the swap too. This is not your avarage 240D. This car absolutely rapes 300D turbodiesel automatics until it tops out at 93mph. The engine is a OM617.912 naturally aspirated L5 diesel. It was rebuilt top to bottom before I bought it, and the injection pump, timing, and ADA have been tweaked for optimal power. My father and I have been working on the car since I was 14. This car truly is one of the finest, and most reliable cars in the world. And it gets 30-33mpg combined. BTW Hawk233 is my older brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnloves850's Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 I was expecting better pictures after reading how amazing the pictures were It's cool though, it just looks like point and shoot camera shots. Nice Benz. My buddy just picked up a '70 250c, sh!ts nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin-Solo Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Well the shots were all unedited. I particularly like the one with my bro's car, and the last picture in the set. The others could be redone, but hey I wasn't the photographer, I would have chosen different angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnloves850's Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Idk man, I would be embarrassed to post my little ms paint signature in the corner if those were my pictures. I've seen better pictures on craigslist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBoy8 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Pictures aren't "amazing" in terms of creativeness but I think they're nice. They're crisp, colourful, and have a nice depth... and I don't think any point-and-shoot can take pics like that in terms of image clarity/quality. I really like the 2nd pic of just the Benz . Your car is looking good too. Considering 850s are getting up there in age, a clean stock 850 is always nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fin-Solo Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Thanks for the input, and yeah the name and description is quite an exaggeration. If we find some crazy awesome place to take pictures on the way to iPd, then maybe something amazing will turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
