The HOTTEST 190E I've ever seen.

[Kruzen]

I fucking love 190E's so much.

Stock motor is not a winner - IIRC - what is the difference between a cosworth and an American motor?

Yep, this car is much nicer.

And the wide stick way out with tiny tires are the mexican style...even if no one want's to admit it. I was born and raised in Canoga park/Hollywood.

um.... actually to clarify to everyone it actually started in japan about 5 years ago approx

yeah seriously, it started with the mexican turtle cars. little 92 corolla's with 13 inch daytons sticking completely outside the fender and those stupid little sideways mudflaps tacked on to stay legal.

man i'm so glad i'm in europe, the streatched VW's look so much better than the turtle cars

Exactly back in the 70's Datsun 510's were running 13x8's on the ground. This look has been around forever not 5 years.

As stated A YEAR EARLIER.

haaha oh wow, someone just posted this thread on 190rev as if it was current. didnt bother to check the dates.

Yeah, the 190Ds came in a 2.2l 4-cyl, a 2.5 5-cyl and a 2.5 5cyl TURBO diesel

I guess I just don't get it, 190's just don't do it for me. They in no way look like a sports car, they look like something my grandpa would drive. Very nice cars, but not sporty, and putting all those ricer body kits on them just looks wrong IMO. Like buying a Coup DeVille & throwing a giant spoiler and lip on. The 190's look like a confortable luxury car, not a race car. Even the true race 190's don't look the part if you ask me (which I know you didn't) just my

cosworth just helped MB design the DOHC head for the mercedes 16v. The first batch of heads were actually produced at a cosworth plant, but then the mass majority were produced in MB plants later on

The guy is from the UK. I doubt he styled it after the Californian Mexican tuning scene... could we drop this whole "Mexican styled" thing? If you don't like the car, just say so.

rwdrift, you're talking about the EVO II, I assume?

i dislike benz...but this car is pretty intense..

I agree 100% but that doesn't mean I wouldn't drive one.

The 190 can be modified suspension wise to match the e30. It can also be modified engine wise to match it. However, the e30 still comes out the lighter weight, more agile machine. A primary weakness lies in MB trannys. The one exception being the 16v which shared the same getrag transmission as the e30 m3.
