Yea I found out the rest of the story after a talk with the police chief. The cop was being nice as the kid actually got pulled over for doing 60 in a 30. Cop wrote it up that way so kid would not have car impounded and lose license. Cop also had to follow kid for a mile or 2 before he stopped,

What would you guess the 0-60 time would be for a 84 190D 2.2 auto? Kid got a ticket today for accelerating too fast getting onto the highway. Didnt even know that would be illegal. Not for not stopping at the stop sign, not for speeding, but accelerating too fast. WTF??

Yeah, that is what they use to nail kids laying rubber and engaging in speed contests. The cop wanted to nail the kid, figured the diesel smoke was tire smoke, and tried to make a little money for the town or county or whatever. Maybe you should take the car there and have the cop test it,
