That is interesting. Question: How much grease could you squeeze from
those polish sausages and would it burn in the car and how far would
they push it down the road (well, that's 3 ?s but who's counting...)?

Are you sure your S350 is putting out normal power? It should NOT be
sluggish in city driving, due to the torque and (relatively) decent
axle ratio. If you clock it 0-60mph, factory spec is approximately 13
seconds or so. Maybe you're just a little spoiled by the 99 turbo,
though!
