Diesel. I know, on account I used to have a Mercedes 190D and it had a diesel engine and it was as quick as Macgregor (new from factory 0-60 mph in 16.7 seconds - and it was). :Liar:

Maybe it was the TV. This is actually a version of the "man cave" and you go to the marina, watch SPORTS and drink beer on your supersport.

Works for me.

Wouldn't it be a 26SS then?

You can add these vintage SS emblems for $35

I had a 240D. I thought D stood for "dog". Nice car but so under powered it was dangerous.

And 190D was even more underpowered. But got a great gas milage (33mpg). Most likely because it was a dog. My brother in law told me "it's heavy, but slow." It was a very apt description.
