Anthony makes a good point about the starting out sluggish thing on an auto, but there is a solution (somewhat) to that.

The automatic transmission from MB normally starts out in 2nd gear, so you really don't get much push from a start. There's a manual "kick-down" switch that can be installed fairly easily that forces the trans to start out in 1st, and hold it there if you floor it up to almost redline. It works pretty well, and is definitely noticable.
