The legend, hands down, unless it has major mechanical problems.

A 9 year old car vs a 15 year old one?

Totally depends in the shape they are in. A lot can happen in 15 years to slow a car down.

mercedes is a v6 194 hp 195 ft/lbs gross vehicle weight 1504 kg
vs
acura v6 200 hp 210 ft/lbs curb weight 1615 kg

these cars are almost identical down the stretch when you factor hp to weight and it will probably depend on gearing

i would say the acura probably has the edge though barely because the torque...but you never know

No such thing as ''perfect condition'' on a car that's that old.
