[W126 Coupe] Pimping a 500 SEC

I probably should have been more careful in my words :-)  In any case there
seems to be a lot in common with the 500

Thanks for the tip on the Koenig supercharger.  I think for the moment (2-3
years) I will leave it stock.

I have noticed that my current C-180 (Kompressor) has not only 30 hp more
than my old C-180 (without Kompressor), but it also uses a lot less gas.  The
old C-180 used about 10L/100 on the average and the new one averages about
7.8.  When I am really careful I can get it to use 6.5L/100.

The 500 SEC needs always about 15-16L/100 on the average.  Once because
of a storm I drive exactly 90Km/h and used 11L/100.  That surprised me very
much.  According the the curves in the manual this was to be expected.

I really like the SEC and thankfully I will he able to get other one soon.

Cheers
