It's loads of fun, trust me. :-) I have the same engine but in a lighter car (E500) with a few extra ponies from some intake & exhaust mods. My best 1/4 mile time here at 2700' elevation was 13.86 @ 101.29mph... I'm itching to try it at sea level (expecting 13.6 @ 104mph, maybe.)
I believe 'ETA' is 'Electronic Throttle Actuator', AKA the TBA (Throttle Body Actuator)... same thing, different names. About $1k for that part on an M119 engine. Luckily mine had it replaced just before I bought the car. :-) -Dave M. > ------------------------------ > Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 13:48:09 -0500 > From: "Donald Snook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [MBZ] 93 500SEL Offtopic > > I did sort of wonder what it would like to drive this car with that much > power and acceleration.
