Cool tl type s vs 08 benz e350 4matic
i raced a mercedes E350 4matic with my 2003 Acura TL Type S today
i got only injen cold air intake and coolant throttle bypass mod
the benz was stock with 268bhp both races were from a dig
0-110km/h until traffic got in the way
but i beat him both times i slowly started pulling on him
first it was side by side till i changed to 2nd then i start pulling further by the time i switched to 3rd gear he was down to my rear bumper
then i had to slow down for traffic

Not bad for the E350, grant that it weights more than 4000lbs including the driver. How do you know it's 2008?

great run! That sounds about right. If you raced the RWD he might have taken you by a fender. The 4matic is a high 14 second car. Since you have Intake you probobly are in the 14.7 range or so. Nice to hear of your TL-S shutting down a 50,000 dollar + vehicle!

Good kill. My friends dad has the diesel E-class and that thing has TONS of torque! Wonder if it's any faster then the regular E350?

The E-Class isnt exactly built for racing. Nonetheless, good kill.
Find a C350 now

yeah those things are torquey bro! They have a faster 0-60MPH time but slower in the 1/4 mile so I have heard.
