You think a 2.5 is fast? You should try my 87 300D... with the full-load screw turned up a half turn, it now outruns my stock 1986 300E at the dragstrip. Not by much, but it's got a better ET. The 300E will slowly pull away over 90mph, though. Another half-turn should cure that, heh-heh.
Oh yeah - and that's despite the diesel's 2.65 axle, while the 300E enjoys the advantage of a 3.07! :) -dm > ------------------------------ > Date: Sat, 18 Mar 2006 17:06:54 -0500 > From: "John Peterson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] 1990 Mercedes Benz 300D 2.5 Turbodiesel > > > I am really wanting to drive the 87 TD.
