Especially when it is a euro version. A 107 280SL will outrun the us
versions of the 350, 450, 380, and possibly the 560 in american trim.
Yuro M110 is a hot engine. (for its day) It is not a 2.3 cosworth as
in the 190E 2.3-16, but it is NOT shabby.
A us version 300SEL is not far from a 200D automatic
It was drilled into our heads in the 60s and 70s: the fallicy, "there's
no replacement for displacement" My first foray into German cars showed
me different, and even before that, in HS, a guy had a Fiat Abarth that
caused may stories to be told. That Abarth was what? maybe 1200cc no
more than 1600.

I always laugh when you guys talk this way, I remember people
bemoaning how slow a 300SE is. It can't be as slow as a 240D auto...
