I raced against my own Benz 250 Coupe -72...A friend of mine drove the Benz and I was in the Passat, we decided to test how quick a 35year old merc that had 150hp back in the day is.
We did a couple of runs 50-75mph in fourth gear and I won bigtime! 0-60 was closer, he actually won once
but he cheated and started in second gear and only needed to change once, up to third...
The conclusion is that they are both slow :lol:
