Re: [MBZ] 6.9

Car looks familiar. About 30 years ago I test drove one with the same oogy velour interior. Can't remember the exterior color. Driver's seat had a big divot in the foam - supposedly the owner always wore his gun in a holster, which wore a hole in the seat. On Fri, Dec 10, 2021 at 10:41 PM

The way I understand it, it's not all about hp. The extra displacement of the V8 should give the engine more grunt at higher road speeds. My guess is that at 70 plus mph the 6.9 will give the 3.0 V6 a run for it's money. Of course, I've driven neither car so I can't say based on experience.
