I am currently driving (on loan from a friend who wants to sell the car to me) a 1985 300D Turbo.

Besides badly needing new shocks, I am wondering if the accelleration from stand still of this car is normal. I find the starting accell veryyyy slow. I havent timed it but it may be 20 sec from 0-60. Is this normal? Once it gets going it picks up fairly well. I clean the Banjo bolt already (which wasn't really that dirty). Is there any thing else I should check to see if I can get more pep out of this car?

Thanks
