Uhh yeah, that'd be true on the street... Did you miss the part about my
flogging the 240D over speedbumps where he was scared of bottoming out?
0-60 isn't as relevent as 0-30 in this case.
Also my willingness to take a 90 degree turn at 30mph that completes by
bouncing off the curb...
So yeah he's not driving his to the full extent because he doesn't want to
break stuff. On the 240D I really didn't care...

Hate to tell you, but if you were keeping up with the STi in the
corners, then the guy was either taking it easy, or doesn't know how to
drive it that well.
That car weighs less than either a 240D or 300D and has more than twice
the power of the 300D and about 4 times a 240D. So on the straights he
should be REALLY leaving you behind. His 0-60mph time is what 4
seconds? Yours is what 20?
On the corners, I'd pretty well guarantee that his suspension is
superior to a 240 or 300 in perfect condition, let alone I'm guessing
most of these 20-30 year old cars aren't as good as they used to be?
(:
If it makes you feel better, you can carry a lot more 5 gallon pails in
your trunk than he can!
WAAAAY different thinking between those two cars. But great
engineering
and reliability in both. (:

It usually takes me 15-20 minutes to run a can of Diesel Purge thru one
of my cars. I warm the engine up first and run the engine at different
speeds while it's being fueled with the DP.
