For years I've thought about getting a old Mercedes and putting a big block Chevy in it to make a sleeper. But this is just awsome. Love the Aussie dedication to muscle. Hello from Massachusetts
That´s an absolutely beautiful and fast beast! I love the old Mercs and this one should definetely do some races hear in Germany. Congratulations and thanks for sharing.
MAN that merc is tough and looks just oh so cool!! I LOVE that it walks off the line on three legs lol. In my earlier years I was an Automotive spray painter and we specialized in Mercs and prestige cars. I always liked the big old heavy and slow early Mercs for style and cool but not performance. This DeBenz is classic and awesome well done sir!
In my finest Jeremy Clarkson imitation voice: "ze Germans make ze better car" And what keeps this car going forward straigh like that? Weight. Thats mass and gravity. . . Mass - it has a lot of that.
@@stevemitchell2252 You got me thinking about how the owner of this Merc's day usually begins Wife; Why do you not walk to work , and seeing as it's only 400 metres away, and you always leave it until there's only like 8 seconds till start time?
...is actually quite common on ,many hotrod builds that have not had any (or minor) sub frame and suspension modifications. So I commend this driver from maintaining a relatively consistent controlled launch and keeping it straight and not going completely sideways. Seen plenty "eat the walls" right after they launch due to this issue.
Ok i think it is a old school hemi under the hood. Not merc powered. And running alcohol? Notice the chassis flex so much 1 ft tire raises off the track. Wow.
@Santiago Giuntoli add a supercharger in your Ass, idiot! Turbo rules, in real big blocks, 6.3 is a Toy Block , a poodle against a Bull Terrier, stupid!
..what you mean "the across the aboard any American v8" oversized cam lobe high/low engine rpm's at idle phenomena? 8.3 sec 1/4 just ain't fast enough for such fold apparently.
Why is this the first time Im seeing this? Brilliant
one like from Germany :)
Holy shit, that thing launches hard
Straight from hell... absolutely badass, RESPECT

great to see something different great effort
DAMN!!!! Three wheel motion all the way... I was laughing every pass... this a beast!!!!!
Doing all the steering with one wheel and keeping it straight!! WOW!! That thing rips!!
Thats just awesome! Fastest Merc ever! Those W 108 where awesome, love the old Mercs❤️❤️❤️
ONLY in Australia would you see a 4 droor benz with a blower ....You guys are nuts.....
runs straight, good set up
Every one is gangster until "ze Germans arrive". In my best Jason Statham voice.
Or Jeremy Clarkson
🤣👍🤣
Wow, a video where people aren't ripping the guy who owns the Benz for doing that to it... It's a miracle.
Either way, badass car.

Damn, that's a heavy car too!
John Force would give a thumbs up on that burnout👍
This Benz always reminds me of my living room fireplace.
Speechless in that awesomeness
Wow that's awesome!
You can literally see the torque twist the car to the right.
Seeing that big sled launch with the frame twisting was...unexpected. Very cool!
Caralhooo me apareceu isso em 2020 e será que esse carro anda ainda nos dias atuais ???
Most gangster drag car I have ever seen.
Absolute nightmare!!!! That thing HOOKS
I agree, hooks like crazy , would love to know the drive train set up. Cheers from Canada...
I'd love to see the build on this one!
I like that *give paw* during the start 😃
The weight is not so high as some think, with straight 6 engine it was just 1470 kg, fully loaded V8 was 1680 kg
Mercedes Benz, all the way!!!!!
very good perfomance
Very powerful Mercedes Benz
Achtung Baby what a beast

He does some very thorough burn outs.
If ya gonna go fast, might as well look good doing it. Thats one tough car.
What about the engine?

CRAZY BENZ !!!!!
The Monopoly millionaire is riding in back and being driven by his long time chauffeur; Mortimer.
A low 8 brick on wheels. Nice
Attention Germany
This is how you build a Merc
Start putting BIG pushrod engines in them. My brother works at Daimler-Benz, he`s curled up on the floor...
Sure and the average commute will cost about $25.00 a day in fuel
@@stevemitchell2252 Commute=$25 / day.
Pure unadulterated joy=Priceless. 🤗

Wicked Benzo!!
that car is mint!
Legitimate racket
Anyone know the curb weight of this lead sled? Amazing feat to see it in the 8's.
I do, 10 thousand pounds!
Is an actual M-B motor, or a Chevy/Ford/Chrysler swap?
Qual carro no Brasil bate este Mercedes alguém sabe se este carro compete nos dias de hoje me informem por favor
Now that’s what I call “3-wheel motion”!
why does the Benz lift itself up only on the left hand side ?
the motor transfers the rotational energy to the body, the same can be seen in trucks ua-cam.com/video/Pe42q8ZmjGU/v-deo.html

consistant 8s.. what a monster!
How nuts is that....?!!
I got Grey Poupon all over me.
Funny!
no joke on the lights
The car for badass dictators
The car for tommy killer
Pardon me...do you have any grey poupon?
...you would very likely have to ask that through a bull-horn....and maybe...just maybe the driver will hear you.
🔥
What kind of motor does the Benz have?
200d
Please share engine details
Imagind being given a lift, and the cat takes of like that from a stop
Why Mercedes is the Mercedes?
mercedes drag is super rare
the propshaft just wants to twist the car
I Just Want One
Some say the engine is barely broken in.
Baya bestia parda
wow
Ok i think it is a old school hemi under the hood. Not merc powered. And running alcohol? Notice the chassis flex so much 1 ft tire raises off the track. Wow.
Is this due to the rotational forces of the longitudinal engine causing body to rotate in opposite direction?
how many secs 0 to 100km/h ?
unter 2 !
@@arniemeyer7774 so schnell wie F1 !!
This German Benz runs fast ( with American V8)
thats the only way ,when you will drive fast !
@Santiago Giuntoli add a supercharger in your Ass, idiot! Turbo rules, in real big blocks, 6.3 is a Toy Block , a poodle against a Bull Terrier, stupid!
@@arniemeyer7774 i agree with you.
1/4 mile or 1/8 mile ?
1/4 pretty sure
Definitely 1/4 mile. Check the MPH, 165 which is in line with low 8 second 1/4 mile. Car is likely running low 5’s in the 1/8th.
Dan Myers they're in Australia which in street cars use kmh, would like to know the strips setup for sure
@@OverlandTT a lot of drag strips use mph even though our roads are metric
1/4
WAY cool !
This should be a chrime
@Truthisstrangerthan Fiction His name is Chris.
The CAR....
What the hell hold this thing streight on!?
This is the first Mercedes I've ever seen that does the Chevy Shuffle you got to fix that and I better to go a lot faster
