Review Q&A benz 560 sec

In your opinion, what is the greatest fighter aircraft made during the 1930s or earlier?

It comes down to two, The Spitfire and BF 109e both built during the 30’s The Spitfire,: These first production Mk I’s were able to reach a maximum speed of 362 mph (583 km/h) at 18,500 ft (5,600 m), with a maximum rate of climb of 2,490 ft/min at 10,000 ft (3,000 m). The service ceiling (where the climb rate drops to 100 ft/min) was 31,900 ft (9,700 m).,[24] The operational history of the Spitfire with the RAF began with the first Mk Is ,K9789,, which, entered service with ,19 Squadron, at ,RAF Duxford, on 4 August 1938. ,So this fighter can be included for consideration. In fact, the Hurricane outnumbered the Spitfire throughout the battle of Britain, and shouldered the burden of the defense against the Luftwaffe; however, because of its, higher performance, the overall attrition rate of the Spitfire squadrons was lower, than that of the Hurricane units, and the Spitfire units had a higher victory-to-loss ratio.,[103] The key aim of Fighter Command was to stop the Luftwaffe's bombers; in practice, whenever possible, ,the tactic was to use Spitfires to counter German escort fighters, by then based in northern France, particularly the Bf 109s, while the Hurricane squadrons attacked the bombers.,[104] The Zero: The A6M was usually referred to by its pilots as the ,Reisen, (零戦, zero fighter), "0" being the last digit of the, ,imperial year, 2600 (1940) when it entered service with the Imperial Navy., The official ,Allied reporting name, was ",Zeke,", although the use of the name "Zero" (from Type 0) was used colloquially by the ,Allies, as well. ,So we can’t count this fine fighter in this case. The BF 109: ,The first major redesign came with the ,E series,, including the naval variant, the Bf 109 T (T standing for ,Träger,, or ,carrier,). The Bf 109 E, or "Emil", introduced structural changes to accommodate the heavier, but significantly more powerful 1,100 PS (1,085 HP) Daimler-Benz ,DB 601, engine, heavier armament, and increased fuel capacity. Partly due to its limited 300 km (186 mile) combat radius on internal fuel alone, resulting from its 660 km (410 mile) range limit,,[5] Later variants of the E series ,introduced a fuselage ordnance rack, for fighter-bomber duty, or provision for a long-range, standardized 300 litre (79 US gallon) drop-tank, and used the DB 601 N engine of higher power output.,[52] The 109 E first saw service with the ",Condor Legion," during the last phase of the ,Spanish Civil War, and was the main variant from the beginning of ,World War II, until mid-1941 when the 109 F replaced it in the pure fighter role.,[53] So lets compare the two leading contenders Spitfire MK1 The Spitfire, had a Rolls-Royce Merlin III engine that produced 1,030 hp (770 kW) at 16,000 ft (4,877 m) 87 Octane fuel, +6 lb/in² boost,[nb 5], , max airspeed of 367 mph (582 km/h) at 18,600 ft (5,669 m) climb rate of 2,175 ft/min (11.0 m/s) at 9,700 ft (2,956 m) service ceiling of 34,400 ft (10,485 m)and range of 425 mi (680 km) on internal fuel with armament of 8 × ,0.303", ,Browning, machine guns; 350 rpg,[20] Using 100 Octane fuel and +12 lb/in² boost the Merlin III was capable of generating 1,310 hp (977 kW). ,Harvey-Bailey 1995, p. 155., This overboost condition was sustainable for five minutes and was in use from March 1940. This boosted the maximum speed by 25 mph (40 km/h) at sea level and 34 mph (55 km/h) at 10,000 ft (3,000 m) and improved the climbing performance between sea level and full throttle height. ,Price 1996, p. 19.,. The BF 109 e, had a Daimler-Benz 601 N inline engine that produced 1,175 hp, with direct fuel injection, max airspeed of 348 mph (560 k/ph) at 14.560 ft, climb rate of 3,510 ft/min (17.83 m/sec), a max ceiling of 36,500 feet (11,125 m), with a range of 410 miles at cruising speed on internal fuel and armament of 2 MG FF Cannon (60 rounds per gun) mounted in the wings and 2 17.9 mm MG Machine Guns (1,000 rounds per gun) mounted in the engine cowling above the engine. While the BF 109e and Spitfire had close to same range / airspeed / and max ceiling, the Spitfire was the better dogfighter with a tighter turn ratio and more nimble, the BF 190e had an injected engine and therefore could climb and dive faster than the Spitfire. So as usual it came down to the pilots skill. But there u have a look at the leading contenders built and in operational units before 1940.

Why are German luxury car brands such as Mercedes and BMW so unreliable after 3 -4 years according to Consumer Reports vs 5 star rated Japanese cars?

I own a 1990 Mercedes Benz 560 SEC. It cost $85,000.00 new. It has 135,000 miles on it. It has always been garaged, is real clean and runs wonderfully well. Hard on gasoline, though. I also “had” a 1990 Acura legend, fuel injected, turbo, five speed. I drove it pretty hard, as it was more fun to drice than the Benz. It fell apart at 167,000 miles and I donated it. It still ran well, but the transmission was making a lot of noise, syncromesh first gear was going. $1,500.00 to fix that. A/C was out and not a simple fix . . . window motor burned out twice and I couldn’t get another. The Acura should have lasted longer, but I like downshifting and punched the crap out of it. I had a ’66 Jaguar XKE, which I bought new for $5,900.00. That was the best car I ever owned. I wish I had it now.

What's the best car you've ever owned and why?

,,,,, I had a 1993 Cheverlot Suburban 2500 , government model , no air , crank windows , real deal four wheel drive , 11 years , never let me down , I retired and did not need to drive 20 miles each way to work and back , I would get off late 11 pm or so, drove home in major snowstorms many times , here in Colorado , put it in four wheel drive , get on the highway and go 35 mph all the way home , there were times I would have to weave in and out of the wrecks and police cars , but never failed to get home safely , I wish I had started driving Suburbans years ago , it had a 43 gallon gas tank , when price of gas was high , one time I put in $125.00 and did not fill it,,,I had a neighbor selling a car and I bought it, I paid $4,000 for the Suburban , sold it 11 years later for $2,500.00 and bought a Mercedes Benz 560 SEC , love it,,, I feel cool when driving it around town,,, *

Why do most people I know prefer a BMW so much to a Mercedes Benz or Audi?

Who are these people? The hierarchy still goes like this, trust me I know. I have owned a Pontiac Sunfire, a Chrysler Sebring Coupe 1998, then two subsequent 2001 Chrysler Sebring Coupes LXI, Then a 2003 Acura CL 3.2 Type S, Then a 2006 Acura TL, Then a Mercedes Benz S430, Then a Mercedes Benz S550, Then a BMW 550i M-Sport, Then 1985 Mercedes Benz 560 SEC coupe. My SClass Mercs had steady acceleration curve with authoritative power from across the spectrum, Both V8s performed strongly and steadily, but they were large SEDANS. My BMW 550i gave me a driving thrill in a midsized saloon that I had never felt before, with absurdly good handling and pickup speed that had me feeling like I was driving a coupe. 370 HP V8 and it felt light as a feather but still durable. Not nearly as durable as the Mercs felt. And it felt through daily use of the M-Sport that I was compromising. The engine was not well-built…Head gasket problems made white smoke from the exhaust after more than 2 minutes at a stoplight. Other issues crept up soon after. Overall the car was a great experience, but not a BENZ experience. Sebring 2001 LXI: 3.2 CL Type S: TL: S430: S550: All the above vehicles are google photos but match the model and colors perfectly of what I owned. The ones below are originals. FYI. I bought the below as my summer driver June 2019. I dreamt about it for 2decades.I was 4 years old when it was made. But in 1986 it was a eurospec with 300 hp, and now its got amg rims offset and blueetooth with Alpine R 12 inch and Kenwood Exelon Deck. Its only a 4 speed tranny because=1980s, but I get speed, saftely, security and that oh so good BOSS feeling Best car I have ever owned: Before this, the 550i msport, fast as fuck but problematic: This is the pecking order: Mercedes-Benz>BMW/Tesla/Porsche>Lincoln/Cadillac/Audi>Lexus/Volvo>Infiniti/Acura….Then the rest….Buick>/=Honda/Ford/Kia/Hyundai>Chevy/GMC>Dodge/Chrysler. Before I get to Chrysler, people that love Audi should reconcile themselves with the fact that they are not representative of German relliability from a mechanical standpoint. Blown gaskets, Premature tire wear, especially on S5 and RS5 models. Cylinder misfires on A8 and A6 models. Audis fucking suck. So onto Mopar…Chrysler is a company built on temporaries, and as such, their vehicles are just as finite. They are securely at the bottom of the pile. I’m not even biased for my hate for Chrysler, but I should be. Cutting corners is Chrysler’s business. And hype for the dumbest idiots is what keeps selling cars for them. Positrac, Hemi, SRT, Rumble Bee, shit, rustbuckets in the waiting room. And they didnt even bother paying back their bailout money when they faced bankruptcy in 2008, and our tax money had to save them. Can you fucking believe it? People are still buying this junk…If I had to buy American, It would be a Caddie. Maybe a Lincoln. Remember this…Chrysler brakes are substandard, Mopar suspension is designed to fail quickly, Paint is substandard and subject to rust damage in wheel well areas from salt exposure, especially in RAM 1500 trucks. Wheels are highly overpriced, Car paint is highly subject to sun damage. They dont repay taxpayer handouts, and they move American and Canadian jobs to Mexico. Here’s what is said about the Dodge Demon: ,19 Problems Dodge Won't Admit About The Challenger Demon

What is your favorite Benz?

This is obviously a preference. But I have quite few favorite Benz's…. 1990 560 SEC AMG, 1995 s500 coupe or s600 with the Lorinser package. 2007–2010 CL550 amg or CL63 and 65. 2000–2003 CLK430 or CLK55… 2014-present s550 or S63–65 coupes and finally the newest S class sedans. Preferably the AMG models. I'm sure I missed a few others but these models to me were just the must beautifully designed. I'm not knocking the other models but they are all just timeless.

What are people's dream cars?

For me - the car has to come from the golden age of automobile design. By “golden” I mean before environment and other economy constraints took their toll on car design, when each car was designed not to sell in volumes but for the sake of it being whole and complete. There are several vehicles that represent this, and the mother of them all is the ,1956 Packard,. This majestic look defines beauty. Everything about this car is perfect. Those who know the sad story of this car will be aware that it was the short-sighted management that killed a legendary marque, as a result by 1956 many customers passed these amazing cars, which makes it all the more cherishing to own one as a sign of dedication to the ,best ,of North American engineering. And by best I mean that this car was decades ahead of its time, the lock-up clutch in the transmission, torsion level suspension etc… Now, as oddly as it may sound, my benchmark is not the regal Packard Patrician or the Caribbean, but the much more sleek ,Clipper,, and the reason is this: Just look at how organically the contour follows the roof into the boot and contrasting with it are the two tailfins, it defines beauty of car design! Yes I am a huge fan of tailfins! Or? How about the ,1957 Lincoln Primiere Landau. See the glass funnels behind the rear screen? Those are air conditioning units. May be a little variation, but its predecessor, the 1956 to me is even more appealing. Or… how about this absolutely gorgeous ,1959 Mercury Monterey But with all that beauty there must be something that stands out and above? Absolutely right. Russian engineers in the mid 1950s decided that it was their turn to have a go at creating a legend - and they succeeded. The ,GAZ-13 ,Chaika, ,(seagull) This was the car that ordinary Russians could not owe. It was never sold to public, never used for taxi service (though one could hire it for weddings). Compared to your average Lada it had everything: a growling V8 engine, automatic transmission, power steering, power windows, air conditioning. Today it is ,the ,most sought after collectors car in Russia, and prices for a perfectly restored version can be well over 300 thousand USD, whilst a derelict rusty remain can easily fetch 50–100 thousand. That is right, despite an impressive production run (1959 to 1981) only 3189 examples were hand assembled. And as a little fyi, cylinder blocks were machined in same plant that made nuclear reactor centrifuges. Anyhow, the best a Russian could hope for was the GAZ-21 Volga, that too was a luxury car in its own right. Only 10% of those produced (which in absolute numbers was not much, 70 thousand a year) destined for private ownership whilst the rest were taken up by “people’s economy” (taxis, police, estates were used for cargo and ambulances, then all of the mid-range officials requiring a chauffeured car), plus export. Still displaying a restored bespoke car, like the one below is within the qualification of an average workshop or enthusiast,. Whilst the Volga is a great car and a head-turner these days, it is by no means unique. However it did have a special KGB version that featured Chaika’s engine and powertrain, the ,Chaser,. ,Now Mercedes-Benz might be given credit for creating the first Q-car, by taking the engine of the large 600 limousine and installing it into its flagship sedan. The 300SEL 6.3 is a legend in its own right… Except it came five years after the ,Chaser…, Still speaking of Mercedes, their cars were excellent in their own right, during the 70s and 80s. There are many models that I admire (the fintails, the /8, the 190 evolution, the 500E wolf, the 6.0 Hammer, the G-wagen, even the W140 sedans, which during 1990s Russia replaced the Chaikas as the cars for the elite (and it had to be the flagship V12 600 model, anything below did not count). But among all, I would go for this ,560 SEC,, complete with the widebody kit by AMG, when it was still an independent tuner. To me it spells individuality and character, in a line-up that as well-built and designed as they could, are at the same time as mundane as a black suit. Even if its tailored it is still a black suit! Same with Mercedes-Benz and ,everything ,modern. The 560SEC (chassis code C126) is a notable exception, mechanically the 126 family was the last car you could repair in your garage and pre-set defects that sprout when the warranty period expires were yet to be implemented by that marque. Which brings me to the logical though that all of the cars I mentioned above are gorgeous to look at, amazing to work with, but to own one is a huge responsibility and … endless paranoia, which is why most of the time, these pristine survivors are kept in a heated garage and are lucky to be let out on a rare summer weekend day, with their owners always panicking about the weather, pebbles on the road and even curious bystanders touching the paintwork… Luckily the US car industry produced another legendary type of car to be able to defy just that, and the 560SEC above is still a ,boring ,Mercedes when it comes in comparison of the true perfection of automotive engineering. ,The American Muscle Car! Now, contrary to what you expect, I will not list the Mustang, Charger and Camaro… simply because the public has given them undue celebrity status that they too became a little generic, whilst their modern representatives which carry that name try to (unsuccessfully) mimic their legendary predecessors. First and foremost, the ,1970 454 Chevelle SS next is the ,1969 428 Torino Cobra jet. and finally the ,1969 Plymouth 440+6 Road runner. Now you might ask why these particular ones, as there were plenty of other choices: GTO, GTX, ‘Cuda, Cougar, 442, AMX etc. True, but for me the amazing part of muscle cars is their original intent, to be a ,cheap, high performance version of the parent model. Which is why of all the three choices, I give preference to the latter. Absolutely spartan trim, very little chrome, a clean silhouette. It’s as if someone took a chisel and trimmed off everything leaving the bare minimum. Which why they are so perfect! Because under that bonnet is raw, unrestrained by economy, ecology, environment and other nonsense savage V8! Hell with your ECUs, sensors and injectors all hail the carburettors! To hell with all those hydra-dyno-jerking-matics, four on the floor manual. Even disk brakes were optional. Which is why these cars are great to drive… as long as your going in a straight line. When it comes to handling, all of the muscles are … appalling to say the least. Not to mention the rate at which it will drain its petrol tank. So once again, great to owe and take for a quick weekend spin, but impractical as ever. Moreover, here in Russia owning one right now is even less realistic, simply because of all the custom fees one will have to pay, which means that those collectors that do import them will rarely let them growl on the roads, scaring the shit out of other drivers and pedestrians. In Russia, we never had anything close to a muscle car. The Soviet car industry was very much focused on meeting targets and private car ownership was an issue in its own right. The nearest we got in keeping pace was the second generation Chaika, produced from 1976 to 1989. And by that I mean a full-size body with a frame chassis, and a twin 4 brl carb v8 engine. The limousine wheelbase and roof line, automatic transmission and luxury trim disqualify it from that field. Not to mention, that like its predecessor, the average citizen could only hope to see one up close in central Moscow. Luckily we had an alternative, like the Chaika replacing its fintailed predecessor, in 1970 the 2nd generation Volga was rolled out. In the society where everyone was equal this car separated those more equal than others. More than a third of these cars were used by taxicabs, there were ambulances and police models that were exported, and of course models to chauffeur your average Soviet bureaucrat. Like the predecessor, a beefed-up Chaser version was also available for the KGB. These cars might sound like a wonder, but if you thought of driving them - think again. To counteract the huge torque by limo’s V8, a steel plate was carried in the boot. Volga is a unibody, and despite its quite impressive size, is actually lighter than a common Ford Focus. Add to that front drum brakes, power steering with no feedback (came with the V8), the lack of a rear roll bar, a fully vertical kingpin (no caster angle!)… it’s no wonder why KGB driver’s would have been able to trump Formula 1 pilots. In 1981 a big facelift of the car was released, the ,GAZ-3102., In its stock it corrected many of the design failure’s - bodywork with crumple zones, orthopaedic seats, an uprated engine with pre-charge ignition (gave it a pedigree performance and complacency with Euro 1 exhaust a decade before it was released), a re-worked front suspension complete with caster angle and disk brakes licensed from Girling (the same company that supplied brake parts to Jaguar). Not bad? Except the government thought that this model was too classy to work as a taxi and the factory had to produce two cars in parallel. Then in 1985 the factory decided, to modernise the seemingly archaic GAZ-24 by using most of the elements of the exclusive GAZ-3102 Volga. Enter the ,GAZ-24–10,. After 1992 when the planned GAZ-3105 never reached the production line, and the post-Soviet crises demanded a simple and robust commercial vehicle… So for the next 17 years the story of the Volga was one continuous modernisation of an ancient structure. Look up GAZ-31029 (James fans will recognise that one from Goldeneye), GAZ-3110 and GAZ-31105… Now you might ask, wtf? Why am I being showed some random Russian car that began as an elegant rival to North American compatriots and downgraded into an eyesore? Well, my dear readers two reasons. First of all you can have a dream car if have $$$ or your grandfather had $$$ and you were lucky enough to inherit it. However, it is by belief that a car is not there for the looks to be displayed on a stand. It is there to be driven. I live in Russia. I do not have the $$$ to buy and import a Packard, a Chevelle or 560SEC. I do not have the money to buy a Chaika or a Chaser. Nor do I have the patience and skill to source the original parts and restore such cars (though I deeply respect those who are able to do so). I can however easily buy a GAZ-24 Volga, and even more easier - a GAZ-24–10. Which brings me to the conclusion. I adore muscle cars, I adore classic cars and I deeply respect that our engineers in the late 1960s designed and gave us something that even if it never lives up to those definitions, does not prevent us from making it fit. That is not just a philosophy. In skilled hands the Volga today is not just a play-toy. If you want, you can stick a V8 in there. (Chaika’s 5.5 litre is rare to source, but a 4.2 that was featured on the GAZ-66 trucks is in abundance) If you want, you can make it a low-rider If you want - you can rid the roof or loose the rear doors You can even make an SUV out of it As for me. I like my car the way it is! In 2011 I was offered it for dead cheap (20 thousand Rubles - 700 USD at the rate) and it only had 26 thousand KM on the clock. I got my licence the previous year and thought of it very pragmatic - ideal for a first car… Then I saw it, drove it and we became one ever since. So far, of the major works: 1. Replacement of stock 4 speed with a 5 speed gearbox. 2. Replacement of stock front drum brakes with 3102 disc brakes (the ones with Jaguar’s calipers) 3. Replacement of stock exhaust system with that from a latter Volga. 4. Full replacement of all suspension bushings, steering joints, shock absorbers. 5. Replacement of the spartan plastic dashboard with a vinyl trimmed and the seats with velvet upholstery (genuine Soviet exclusivity for the 3102s) 6. And a complete re-paint of the car. Regarding minor works, I lost count of how many times I serviced the ignition, carburettor, brakes etc. One thing I can tell you, the car is so damn simple, that it has come to the point of me knowing every symptom by feel and sound. In the pipeline is engine work (An attempt at putting a pre-charged ignition head and morphing it with a 100mm cylinder block of an UAZ jeep - stock was 92mm bore), rear axle (with the added pedigree of the engine - a 3.58 axle ratio is a must in place of the stock 3.9) and a few other bits. Why am I going into such detail about my car? Well the question was about a ,dream car, right? The way I see it is that it is fine to dream about a car that you will never owe and at best see it at some museum. However, unlike you, I get to ,live that dream! ,I enjoy getting my hands dirty, I enjoy upgrading and improving it. I enjoy that OHV purr. I enjoy the turning heads in the traffic, the tourists taking selfies with it, random people coming up and praising me for my dedication to this car. But most of all, I enjoy driving it! During the summer it is my daily driver! Parts are dead cheap. Performance wise it is very pleasurable (the amount of adrenaline you will get out of taking it past 130 km/h will be greater than that in an M3 BMW going at 230 km/h - trust me on that one! ) As for it being only 4 cylinder, remember what I said about it being a unibody and lighter than a Ford Focus? Well at 2.5 litres that OHV engine’s torque is not turning the wheels - no, it’s rotating the whole planet beneath it! So there you have it. The best dream car is the one you can make yourself, for yourself and you are proud of it! Oh… just to count the costs, over the past six years, disregarding fuel and insurance, I conservatively estimate that I invested 4000 USD into my car. So have fun pouring in a lifetime saving into a vehicle that you will not drive, when you can buy hundreds of these in pretty mint condition.
