Your "Professional" Mercedes driving instructor...

Check out the second video on here.
http://www.maxdcarclub.co.uk/videos.htm
It's from a video (that I also own) that compares modded cars against
standard cars.
The Capri is converted to run a tuned cosworth engine. The Brabus is
running at around 500hp i think.

I know a guy with a Saphire Cosworth (Same engine), it runs at 504bhp and
will do 100 in 8.5 seconds.

How about 612HP.. with a back seat.

Or in the "zweisitzer" SL version

Nice to know that if it seems too "ordinary" to have a production car,
just cough up another $88,000 or so and get Brabus to tweak it to
640HP.  Too bad they are "Euro only" :-)
