The owner boasts of having slightly more power than stock, but I have to wonder how much less torque he has now...

there was an experimental rotary 107 but I think it had 3 "units" or "blocks" or whatever the denomination that comes from Japanese (Mazda 13B was 2 of those)

Noooooo that W109 sounds awful. Why why why. If you want to go faster put in a 32 valve MB V8 surely?

Hi i wonder if that mercedes even still exists.  As it was made in the mid 90's and so was the video.  The car was featured in about 96 or 97 in Hot4s magazine and as you can see video. This is more current was featured about 2 issues ago in Perth Streetcar magazine the number plate is very appropriate http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g0E60WIgbFI  :)
