You are comparing the 2.8 in the 280E to the 3.0 103 in earlier
vehicles. I was talking about 1993 model year cars. In 93, the 300E
had the 3.2 104 which was 217 or so hp.

Seems like the 2.8L at 197 hp is indeed peppier than the 177 hp M103
3.0L. Though, according to this entry, there's a difference in power
between the M103 with and without catalytic converter. The 177 hp
number is for with, and 185 hp for without.

Kaleb, are you thinking of the 2.6L? The M104 has a LOT more power
than the M103, even the 2.8L, I've driven one. Road rocket, pretty
much.
