Yes. Any sedan that could show its tail lights to contemporary supercars qualifies as awesome in my book. Plus, old Benzes are amazing cars—they feel like they're made of anvils and granite.

I, for one, think that Toyota should be forced to produce a V8, rear-drive, manual transmission coupe around 30K in order to participate in this series.

Not to be a dick, but the 25 in the tire size isn't 25mm, it's an aspect ratio, which is 25% of 315mm (the section width), or a skosh over 75mm.
