Re: [MBZ] I own the Starship Enterprise
I helped a friend put a 5.0 in a 380SEC, which he is now trying to sell. Overall I liked the 560SEL better but it may be just because I like the big back seat.

Re: [MBZ] I own the Starship Enterprise
going to warp speed. It has WAY more get up and go than a 560 does. That's almost hard to believe given how sprightly a happy 560 can be. Must be fun! -- Jim
Re: [MBZ] I own the Starship Enterprise
oh yea, another factor that causes this car to be a rocketship off the line is its geared for the underpowered 3.8 motor(the rear end) but has the 5.0 euro in it. So its even faster off the line than a regular euro 5.0 Kaleb C. Striplin wrote: Well lets see, factory engine, 155hp, euro 5.0 engine, 240hp. Will get about the same mileage as the 380 engine.
