| RE: 280 SL buyng tips
Enrico: podes comprar um V8 mas depois tens que andar com um depósito de gasolina atrás... o meu 280 SLC gastava (média 150/160 km/h) 19/20 litros aos 100... Um V8 gasta pelo menos 25 e se for uma versão americana (não aconselho) pode gastar até 30 litros!
I was saying that 6L engine is much more economic than V8's.
Also remember that american V8 power is lower than european 6L for all models except 560. In the european range 350 V8 has around 200 bhp against 185 of 280 and 190 of 300. Only the 500 with 245 bhp should be really more powerful.
The main advantage in V8 is torque.
I think it will be difficult for you to find a 107 in Brazil...
