Does this one stand up on its front wheels under extreme braking too?

Our 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC came with an optional “reinforced seat frame” ... presumably to accommodate such a scenario.

We routinely cruise at 13omph in our super-maintained 1991 Mercedes-Benz 560SEC. It will lope at these speeds for hours. There are few things as solid at speed as the old over-engineered German cars.

Agreed. After driving our R107 560SL for a year, we just bought a gorgeous W126 560SEC. It’s a tank and we love it. It’s extremely stable at speed, underground cave silent and rides and handles like a dream on hydraulic suspension.
