That would be a bit of a sleeper wouldn't it? Put a 220D emblem on the back and surprise folks who expect it to be slow. Randy -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alex Chamberlain Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 6:45 PM To: Mercedes Discussion

I think an SLR engine is good for about 620 HP or so. I'm not sure if Mercedes have a badge delete option these days. I know BMW have, but even so, Q ships these days aren't quite as stealthy as they were 35 years ago. I've always loved the concept of a subtle sedan with monster performance. ;-)

I saw a video on YouTube of a guy who stuck an engine from a SLR into a SLK. He was racing a Ferrari Enzo, in a straight line of course. :-) If I can find it again, I'll post the link. Ed 300E On 31/01/2008, Alex Chamberlain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
